Sober Paragon 



The only Large, Sweet 



CHESTNUT 



The nuts are large in size, being from 3 to 4 inches 

 or more in circumference and have a sweetness of 

 flavor equal to the native sweet chestnut. 



Ornamental — Profitable. 



For lawn or park its beautiful dark, rich waxy 

 green foliage make it a most stately tree. 



The Sober Paragon Chestnut is a hardy, rapid 

 grower and begins bearing when two years old. 



Prof. N. S. Davis, Bucknell University, says : " It is one of the most 

 remarkable discoveries of this decade."
