THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



Chestnut for telegraph poles and railroad and trolley 

 line sleepers has been so great in recent years that there 

 are large areas of such stump land now lying waste 

 with no prospect of revenue from it for a long time if 

 left entirely to nature. If properly grafted to Paragon 

 Chestnut and given the needed care a net revenue of ten 

 dollars per acre annually Tvill be realized in five to six 

 years; in ten to twelve a net revenue of ten to fifteen 

 dollars annually. This is not a theory, but a statement 

 of facts based upon actual experience and results. 



Stump land, of one to two years growth since the tim- 

 ber has been cut off, is best for grafting, but that of 

 longer standing can be utilized. We are prepared to do 

 the grafting and tending on moderate terms furnishing 

 all material. Full information given upon application.
