Whether you have one acre, or a hun- 

 dred, you can get bigger profits per acre 



from Sober Paragon Chestnuts than from any 

 Other crop you could plant. 



Hardy, rapid, symmetrical growth ; luxuri- 

 ant foliage; spreading boughs ; clean trunk; 

 Stateliness , immunity from parasitic blight — 



These qualities have been combined and de- 

 veloped by science to a degree that closely bor- 

 ders perfection, in the new 



SOBER PARAGON 



Mammoth, Sweet Chestnut 



A single crop, Fall of 1908, brought 830,000 

 (5,000 bushels ® $6.00 a bushel) . And that or- 

 chard was only 7 years old. 



The only large sweet chestnut in the world. 

 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." 



The Sober Paragon bears the second year — a 

 S-year old tree grew 500 burrs in 1 year. The 

 nuts average 1 to 2 inches in diametei — and 3 to 

 5 nuts in a burr. 



We offer 3 to 5-foot grafted trees for delivery 

 Fall, 1909, and Spring, 1910. Orders being 

 booked now.

Those 'who have tried them belie'be them 

 better than store bulbs. Better give both 

 a trial this Fall, and compare results. 



Early planted tulips, crocuses, daffodils, etc., 

 give better results in the North than late planted, 

 because the roots have time to form before 

 cold weather. Try early planting. Horsford's 

 Autumn Supplement, ready middle of August, 

 offers a long list of the best lilies, tulips, cro- 

 cuses, daffodils, etc., which are very promising 

 this season. My stock of lilies is the best I have 

 ever had, and the Lilium Henryi, the new and 

 most durable one of its kind, is especially fine. 

 The prices will be very low. Before placing your 

 orders for Herbaceous Perennials, Bulbs, and 

 other plants send for my Autumn Supplement. 

 It will save you time and disappointment.
