TOWNSEND NURSERIES INC. — SALISBURY — MARYLAND 





ALMOST a generation ago, our 

 country was subjected to a very 

 serious tree disease. This nation- 

 al scourge destroyed most of the chest- 

 nut bearing trees throughout the Na- 

 tion. 



It gives Townsend Nurseries great 

 pleasure to announce that once again 

 it is possible to harvest your own crop 

 of chestnuts in the Fall. By planting 

 Townsend's Blight-Resistant chestnut 

 trees, you can know the thrill of 

 gathering these meaty nuts — lost these 

 many years — the second year after the 

 trees are planted. Best results for 

 polinization of blight-resistant trees 

 are obtained with 3 trees, although it 

 is possible at times with 2 trees. 



PRICES 



I to 5 trees - - $1 .95 each 

 6 to 10 trees - $1.75 each 



II or more trees $ 1 .50 each 



Propagated from parent trees which average 38 to 42 nuts per 

 pound (natural average 75 to 90) 



Something yUia for the Younger Generation 



• The sight of these trees once again flourishing cannot fail but to 

 evoke many memories from the older element, whereas they will be 

 something entirely new for the younger people. Of course the 

 pleasure of roaming the woods at Autumn and gathering these tasty 

 nuts is probably gone forever, but this fact does not prevent either 

 commercial or home growers from realizing their own crops. 



ANY WELL DRAINED SOIL WILL DOlTow„se„ds thorough- 



ly Blight-Resistant chestnut trees are disease free — and easy to grow. 

 These trees require practically no care after once being set, and 

 thrive vigorously in any well drained soil. No spraying is necessary.

 Cherries fail. Borne in great quantities on low-growing bushes. 

 The white blooms in spring make them very ornamental. Leaves 

 color red in autumn. Trim to desired shape and size. Set bushes 3 

 feet apart. Thrive in any good garden soil, or in the shrub border.
