CHESTNUT, CHINESE HAIRY 
A solution for the replacement of the doomed 
American Chestnut. We quote the following from 
a report sent to us from the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture. 
“The Chinese Hairy Chestnut has proven to 
be very resistant to the blight. Trees are sometimes 
killed by this disease, but, when so affected, have 
usually been grown under unfavorable conditions. 
In our experiments we have tailed to lose any 
trees of this species where the trees have been kept 
growing rapidly. In many situations this means 
that trees should receive cultivation and fertili¬ 
zation. On other soils the trees make sufficient 
growth to have the resistance to throw off the 
disease without fertilization and cultivation. We 
regard this species as the most favorable of any 
which we have tested for resistance to the blight.” 
The fruit of this chestnut is very little different 
from the American Chestnut. Very early bearer. 
We are picking nuts from trees in nursery rows.
