GROW CHESTNUTS 



WITH THE BLIGHT RESISTANT ORIENTAL 

 VARIETIES 



Most people know tkat a terrible scourge (blight) has 

 befallen our native Chestnut tree, but many do not know 

 that the Oriental species are resistant to this blight. We had 

 nineteen burrs averaging three nuts each on a tree 40 inches 

 tall. These trees are not as tall growing as was our American 

 species, but grows more spreading, making a round top tree. 

 There is very much interest in these foreign species and 

 we are very fortunate in having a nice supply to offer this 

 season.

AUNT MARY'S SWEET CORN 



THE SWEET CORN SUPREME 



This is the most wonderful Sweet Corn we have ever 

 grown. One grower describes it as "the best Sweet Corn in 

 the world." 



Has the most delicious flavor and keeps a long time before 

 becoming too hard to use. In fact, usually requires artificial 

 heat to cure it for seed purposes. 



Aunt Mary's Corn, by its excellent quality, sweetness, and 

 flavor makes a stronger appeal to the Corn-loving public 

 than most any other variety and that appeal continues long 

 after you are tired of other Sweet Corns. 



Liberal size packets, 35c each; 3 for $1.00, postpaid. 



If after growing this wonderful Sweet Corn you are not 

 entirely satisfied, we will refund every cent you paid us 

 for it. 



Air Layering Plants 



You have often wanted to propagate some plants of a 

 scarce or high priced variety but did not have the proper 

 facilities to do it with. With a new outfit we are offering, 

 you can do it yourself, as easily as making an old-fashioned 

 graft. You take a branch of the shrub or tree you wish to 

 graft (leaving it on the parent plant), girdle the branch or 

 twig, put damp peat moss or damp sphagnum moss around 

 the girdled part and wrap it tightly with this new water- 

 proof plastic (in sheets) and tie it, top and bottom, with 

 rubber bands. Generally within six to eight weeks the twig 

 is rooted ready to pot. It requires no watering or other 

 attention until ready to pot. Complete outfit (enough plastic 

 sheets and rubberbands to make 100 grafts), with complete 

 Instructions how to do the grafting, for $5.00 postpaid.
