34 TOWNSEND NURSERIES INC.—SALISBURY—MARYLAND 
LMOST 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, vou can know the thrill of 
gathering these meaty nuts—lost these 
many years—the second year after the 
trees are planted. Best results for 
pollinization of blight-resistant trees 
are obtained with 3 trees, although it 
Propagated from parent trees which average 38 to 42 nuts per 
pound (Natural average 75 to 90) 
is possible at times with 2 trees. cee Oe: | See Me, eee rly eo
