Chestnut Bur of 
Another Type 
There are usually 
only two or three 
chestnuts in a bur, but 
sometimes, as we have 
seen, the number may be 
increased to four or five. 
The hybrid chestnuts have 
been selected for prolific 
bearing, and their nuts are 
not only of very large 
size but are usnally borne 
in large clusters. This 
picture shows ihe tupical 
arrangement when _ there 
are three nuts in a bur. 
Compare with the preced- 
ing picture, with its 
large cluster.
