Chinquapins and Chestnuts 



The chinquapin is a species of chestnut bearing very small 

 nuts, which have, however, the typical chestnut form and qual- 

 ity. The picture, showing chinquapins at the top and chestnuts be- 

 low, illustrates both the similarity in form and the contrast 

 in size. The strains of the chinquapin have been 

 combined with those of the other chestnuts 

 in Mr. Burbank's complex hybrids.
