Chinese CHESTNUTS 
PLANT THEM FOR PRODUCTION OF LUSCIOUS NUTS, 
ORNAMENTAL SHADE OR COMMERCIAL ORCHARD. 
EARLY BEARING, FAST GROWING, BLIGHT RESISTANT TREES. 
We highly recommend planting Chinese Chestnuts on hill sides or on 
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. 
We are offering here the finest types, hardy, blight resistant and high 
quality chestnuts our Government representatives could find in the great 
Chestnut producing areas of China.

OF CHESTNUTS AGAIN THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF FROST DAM-

Growing Chestnuts For Profit. 
A fine example of Chestnut culture. This grove belonging to Wm. J. Wilson, 
Fort Valley, Ga., nine years old, is producing consistently heavy crops. 
ol 
5 yr. old Chinese Chestnut trees load- 
ed with nuts on the lawn cof Ralph 
Gardner, Colonial Park, Pa. They 
make ideal lawn trees when trained to 
single high trunk type tree. 
SELECTED STRAINS 
YOU CAN TRUST. 
ALL TYPES 
HAVE BEEN FULLY 
TESTED. 
TYPE 1. These are seedlings grown 
from seed gathered from gratted trees 
of \ Nanking, \ Meiling, ‘Kuling, and 
should normally produce large attract- 
ive fine flavored chestnuts. These trees 
are very thrifty. 
TYPE 2. These are seedlings pro- 
duced from seed grown on_ selected 
trees of the Tietsing and Fa HouTze 
selections of Chestnuts. They are not 
quite as large as above but very fine 
quality. 
TYPH 3.‘J. A. K. A selection made 
many years ago by Dr. Van Fleet and 
presented to John A. Kemp, Little Sil- 
ver, N. J. The trees are bearing large 
annual crops of nuts. This strain re- 
sembles the American *Sweet Chestnut 
to a greater degree than any other we 
have observed. It is a fertile type and 
a splendid pollinator. Seedlings. 
TYPE 4.\ ABUNDANCE (Seedlings). 
Possibly one of the best selections. 
Comparable to J. A. IK. which it strong- 
ly resembles in size and quality of nut.
