Space will not permit us to give detailed instructions for the ciiltivation of nuts. Chestnuts. "\Vainuts and 

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

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

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

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

 Small, or 1 yr., trees of those marked with an asterisk (*) icill be mailed at each and dozen rates, if desired.

\ PARAGON CHESTNUT. 



The ne plus ultra of chestnuts. As gi'eat an improve- 

 ment upon the Common Xatui'al or American Chest- 

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

 wild Pear of the hedge row. The nuts are three or f our 

 times the size of orcUnary chestnuts, very beautiful 

 in appearance and equally sweet and rich in qual- 

 ity. Tree of rapid growth, very hardy, begins bearing 

 young and produces enormous crops annually. VTe 

 have tested every variety of improved chestnuts that 

 has been offered and find Paragon by far superior in 

 every way to every other. 



By grafting chestnut stmnp land with the Paragon 

 Chestnut, property of little value can be quickly con- 

 verted into a veritable gold mine. By stump land we 

 refer to Chestnut woodland that has had the timber cut 

 off and sprouts have grown up. The demand for
