HE5TNUT.? 
Gbestniit, Japan Giapt. 
A grand, now chestnut which commences to bear when 
out twoor tnreo years old. often urodiieinga large crop as 
they stand in the nursery tows, and we have seen burrs con¬ 
taining from four to sewn large perfect nuts. The size of 
the nuts is about four times larger than flic wild chestnut, 
and it is a tree which everyone should plant. Thev usuallv 
commence bearing when only three feet high. The' nuts are 
very line and soli for a high price. Fine thrifty trees tale, 
each : 2 for $1.00. 
Filbert, Kentish Gob. 
This, the largest and finest of all Filberts, is a most desir- 
ble nut. The bushes are low and occupy but little to ..and 
can be planted in any out-of-the-way place, where they pm- 
•' duce annually large crops of the choicest nuts: They com¬ 
mence bearing the next year after planting, and the bushes 
1 grow and increase rapidly. The Kentish fob is one of the 
choicest, scarcest, highest priced, and most delicious of all 
nuts. Plant a few by all means. They are sure to do well 
and bear in a year or two. 30c. each: $2.30 per do/.. 
Pcc*ap, Ha p dy Prolific. 
This nut, so well known and highly prized by all, is of 
the easiest culture—the tree being of sturdy, lofty growth, 
and very prolific. Many suppose it is not hardy North, 
which is entirely erroneous. The shell is very thin, the ker¬ 
nel sweet and delicious. This is a very superior variety, 
large, hardy and exceptionally thin shelled and prolifli'c. 
Small trees 20c. eaeli; 6 for $1.00. 
For SI. ire trill n»mi one each of these three flits Nuts.
