Space will not permit us to give detailed instructions for the cultivation of nuts. Chestnuts, Walnuts and 

 Hickories, however, will succeed if given the same treatment as apple or pear trees, and should be planted about 

 the same distance apart, with the exception of the Dwarf English Walnut, which may be planted much closer. 

 Filberts require no other culture than occasional pruning. Almonds should be given the same culture as the 

 peach, to which they are closely allied. We cannot supply nuts of any of the varieties offered. 



Thousand rates of any will be given upon applieation.

 heavily laden with nuts of enormous size, measuring 4 

 to 6 inches around and rimning 3 to 7 in a burr. Their

PARAGON CHESTNUT. 



The ne plus ultra of chestnuts. As great an improve- 



rioties and one of the most valuable of all our introduc- 

 tions from Japan. The leaf is long and narrow like a 



ment upon the Common Natural or American Chestnut 

 of the woods, as is the Bartlett upon the natural or 

 wild pear of the hedge row. The nuts are three or four 

 times the size of ordinary chestnuts, very beautiful 

 in appearance and equally sweet and rich in quality.
