Chestnut • Castanea 
American Sweet (C. Americana). A widely 
known native variety. A stately tree, with broad 
leaves, very handsome when in full bloom; 
produces fruit of small size. 
Japan (C. Japonica). One of the finest of 
the imported varieties, entirely hardy.

for ornament and fruit. It makes a 
handsome lawn tree and produces much 
larger fruit than the American variety.

American species, of spreading, irregu- 
lar habit, growing from 16 to 25 feet in 
height. The flowers are produced in 
spring, before the leaves appear, and 
American White, or Weeping (U. 
Americana). The well-known native sort, 
so familiar in New England and which 
grows well in other sections. It is of rapid 
growth and unsurpassed for city and 
suburb planting. 
English (U. campestris). Equally as 
fine and imposing as the American variety; 
adapts itself well to unfavorable condi- 
tions. The leaves are smaller and the 
bark darker. 
Camperdown Weeping (U. scabra pendula). 
Very progressive and graceful, with drooping 
branches; one of the best of the weeping trees. 
It is of rank growth, with large, dark green and
