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 90e 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.
