Chinese Chestnut 



HARDY, BLIGHT RESISTANT 



Here is the most popular of all nut trees. In a short 

 time it becomes one of the most beautiful trees on your 

 place, and you will look forward to each fall harvest of 

 delicious nuts that are very much like American 

 chestnuts. 



Chinese chestnuts are highly resistant to the blight 

 disease, very hardy, and will produce excellent crops of 

 large nuts when only a few years old. The trees are 

 vigorous and have a spreading shape that makes them 

 fine for shade as well as for their crop. Plant two or 

 more trees for cross-pollination. These are vigorous 

 seedlings selected from highly productive trees that will 

 begin to bear in 2 or 3 years. Hardy to about 20° below 

 zero. 



PRICES FOR Sturdy, Well-rooted, Branched Trees 

 3 ft. or more in height. $1.95 each, or $1.80 

 each in quantities of 10 or more.

Your chestnut trees are wonderful. I planted some 3 years ago and they bore some the 2nd year and this 

 year I had many more. They remind me more of the old American Chestnut than any I&oer tasted.

Hardy to 40° below zero 



This is the exceptionally 

 hardy Persian or English 

 walnut that has become so 

 popular in most of the 

 northern states. Mature 

 trees are said to be hardy to 

 40° below zero and still 

 produce big crops of large, 

 thin-shelled, meaty nuts. 



These vigorous seedling 

 trees are very dependable 

 for consistent yields as far 

 north as Minnesota. For 

 good crops it is best to have 

 two or more trees for proper 

 pollination. Vigorous, well- 

 rooted, seedling trees. 



2 to 3-ft. size, $3.95 each; 



3 for $10.75, plus postage.
