J. T. Lovett Co.— Nut Trees. 



The value of chestnuts and profits of their culture depend very much on their early ripening, as large 

 chestnuts marketed in September and early October will bring $10 to $15 per bushel, while in later October 

 and November the price will drop to $6 or $8 per bushel. The Japan Mammoth has the fortunate feature 

 of maturing very early and without the aid of frost to open the burrs, and are hardy in northern New York.

 It originated with Mr. B. Hathaway, of Michigan, 

 the originator of the Bidwell strawberry and other 

 new varieties of fruit. It is very large for its class 

 and possesses to an unusual degree the sweetness
