Fountain Chestnut ! 
Novelty. Originated in our nursery from a |

in the diverse character of the leaves and k 
their habit of growing straight down, giving k 
the tree when well grown, the appearance of \ 
water falling from a fountain. No two leaves ( 
are alike, the outer ones being exceptionally I 
narrow and twisted, giving the tree a most ( 
unique and attractive appearance. Plant this i 
tree on avenue, for shade or as large lawn S 
specimen. It will give your place distinction. S
