PeoNUT. TREES. -— 
JAPAN MAMMOTH SWEET CHESTNUT. The value of the Japan 
Mammoth Sweet Chestnut, cannot be over estimated. The enormous | 
size of the nuts (4 to 6 inches around and 4 to7 in a burr) and their early 
bearing and great productiveness, are the wonder and admiration of all | 
who see them. Frequently trees 2 and 3 years old and but 3 to 4 feet 
high are heavily laden. The nuts ripen very early without the aid of 
frost, and 1 to 2 weeks earlier than the American sorts, and sell readily | 
at $8 to $10 per bushel. 1-year-old trees, 25 cents each; 3 for 65 cents, 
postpaid. 2-year-old trees, 40 cents each; 3 for $1.00, by express, at pur- | 
chaser’s expense. | 
AMERICAN CHESTNUT. The well known chestnut of the forest, of | 
rapid, upright growth. A handsome shade tree. The nuts are unsur- | 
passed for sweetness and delicacy of flavor. l-year-old trees, 15 cents | 
each; 4 for 50 cents, postpaid; 2-year-old trees, 25 cents each; 3 for 60) 
cents, by express, at purchaser’s expense. 
JAPAN WALNUT. This species is found growing wild in the moun- | 
tains of northern Japan, and is as hardy asanoak. The leaves are of 
immense size, and of a charming shade of green. The nuts, which are 
produced in extreme abundance, grow in clusters of 15 or 20; have ashell 
thicker than an English walnut, but not so thick as the black walnut. 
The meat is sweet, of the very best quality; flavor like butternut, but less 
oily and much superior. The trees grow with much vigor, assuming a 
very handsome form, and need no pruning; mature early; bear young 
and are more regular and productive than the English walnut. 1-year- 
@ old trees, 30 cents each; 2 for 50 cents, postpaid. 2-year-old trees, 40 cents
