THK CHKSTMT MAKlilS A ^NOBliK SHADE XRKR, 
Tlio Eiiroi-ean and American varieties ol' cheritnu', 
do well wherever the soil is deep and the climate not 
too hot. It will do well in the foot hills and mount- 
ains of Sierra Nevada range up to 3000 feet and pro- 
bably higher as it is a regular mountain tree. On the 
Pacific coast it is very hardy and is never injured by 
late spring frosts at this altitude ( 2600 ft.) Blooms in 
June and matures its nuts during October. No pests 
affect it on this coast and it requires no spraying and 
but little pruning. 
Large profits are In store for the planter of chest- 
nut trees as the market is seldom satisfied. There are 
300 000 Italian on this coast and 3.000 000 in the 
United States. They all like chestnuts as well as they 
do wine. 
Every home place should plant one or more of this 
nut tree. Besides being a grand shade tree, they 
yield bountifully of nuts which find a ready market at 
remunerative prices. We know of one dooryard tree in 
this county that yields the owner $30.00 to $.50.00 in 
nuts each year.
