114 SEVENTH REPORT OF THE FOREST, FISH AND GAME COMMISSION. 



In conclusion full credit must be accorded to the several men who aided the 

 writer so materially in his investigations of the latest methods of chestnut culture, 

 and without whose assistance the data and photographs herewith presented could 

 not have been obtained. To Mr. Coleman K. Sober, Lewisburg, Pa., and Mr. Sam- 

 uel C. Moon, Mooresville, Pa., especial thanks are due for their hospitality and valu- 

 able information regarding methods of grafting and general care of chestnut groves 

 and orchards. From Prof. Nelson F. Davis, Bucknell University, many timely notes 

 have been received, and by him many of the accompanying illustrations have been 

 obtained and contributed. To nurserymen and horticulturists generally, who ver- 

 bally and by correspondence have contributed to this article, the thanks of both thie 

 Commission and the writer are extended.
