Mammoth, Sweet Chestnut

 2 inches in diameter — and 3 to 5 nuts in a bur. 



United States Pomologist, G. B. Brackett, says 

 "The Sober Paragon comes the nearest in quality 

 to the native chestnut of any of the cultivated 

 varieties that I have examined. It is of large 

 size, fine appearance and excellent flavor."
