 land not adapted to general farming where soil is sufficiently fertile to 

 support the trees. They not only produce a beautiful orchard but bring 

 added revenue from the sale of nuts. Many growers now have orchards 

 in production and report ready sale on nuts at 50c to 90c per pound. 



Write us about location and we will be glad to advise regarding a 

 commercial planting.

Grafted Strains of Selected Chinese Chestnuts 

 NANKING — MEILING — KULING — ABUNDANCE 



These are recently released selections by the U. S. D. A. which have 

 been grafted to bring them into fruiting sooner and from our observation 

 we believe that you will find them to be equally or more resistant to 

 chestnut blight than most of the srains which have been offered up to 

 this time. Compatibility of all grafted types of Chestnuts is still a question 

 and these varieties are no exception, but are of the Peter LUX selections 

 with inheritance for high productivity and nuts of good size and above 

 average eating and keeping qualities.
