GROW CHESTNUTS 



WITH THE BLIGHT RESISTANT ORIENTAL 

 VARIETIES 



Most people know that a terrible scourge (blight) has 

 befallen our native Chestnut tree, but many do not know 

 that the Oriental species are resistant to this blight. These 

 foreign Chestnuts also bear when very young. 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.

FUMIGATING MATERIALS 



The materials we are offering for use by nurserymen and 

 florists are ones that we are using and can recommend. 

 These fumigating materials are used under supervision of 

 the U.S.D.A. in treating nursery stock for shipment outside 

 Japanese Beetle area as well as for many other controls. Ask 

 your Federal Inspector or County Agent about use of them. 



LARVATOX WITH CHLORDANE 



A new material recently authorized by the U.S.D.A. that 

 kills the Japanese beetle eggs as well as the grubs. Potted 

 and B and B plants dipped in a solution of this material may 

 be shipped the entire year providing soil and air tempera- 

 tures are maintained at a minimum of 60%. Will have value 

 as a soil fumigant. Use 3 CC's to make 1 gallon of dip. 

 Quart (makes 315 gallons of solution) $2.50

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.
