$30,000 for One Crop 

 From a 9-Year Old Chestnut Orchard 



Plant for profit or for decoration — plant a thousand trees or a single one 

 wonderful Sober Paragon Chestnut will pay you more in dol- 

 lars and in satisfaction than anything else you could plant. 



$6 to $8 a bushel these magnificent nuts bring in open 

 market. They are as big as large-sized plums, averaging 1 

 to 2 inches in diameter, and as sweet and delicious as the 

 smaller Native American Sweet Chestnut. Sober Paragon is 

 the only Mammoth Chestnut in the world that is sweet and 

 entirely free from puckery flavor. 



SOBER PARAGON 



MAMMOTH SWEET CHESTNUT 



An orchard of these remarkable nuts pays almost from the start, the 

 trees are such rapid growers and prolific bearers. A single 5-year old 

 tree grew 500 burrs in 1 year — 3 to 5 huge nuts in each burr. (Begin 

 bearing immediately). 20 burrs were counted on this small 3 -year old tree. 



Magnificent trees for park or lawn, they make Quick, hardy, symmetrical growth, 

 with luxuriant spreading foliage, clean trunk and stately appearance. Immune from 



Every tree shipped is a bearing tree.

Just Suppose 



You were many thousands of dollars in debt; 

 That you were disowned by your father; 

 That you had been used to luxury and frequented 

 the most fashionable hotels here and abroad; 

 And suddenly found yourself on the streets, 

 penniless 



Would you make good in eighteen months, 

 own a newspaper and be mayor of a town 

 of 40,000 people ?
