Japa?iese Mammoth Chestnut. Natural size. 
Chestnuts. 
The Japan Mammoth Chestnut has been fruited in Florida and the Lower South long enough to deter¬ 
mine its merits, and may be set down as one of the best of the many good things in horticulture that have 
•come to us from Japan. The nuts are of enormous size, much larger than the large Spanish variety, and 
many times the size of the ordinary American Chestnut. A number of trees are fruiting in this state, and 
bear regular and heavy crops. 
Our trees are home-grown. The imported trees are worthless, as they are badly grown, and the few 
•stubs of roots left are bruised, so that they require nursing for a year or two to bring them to life. 
Japan Mammoth. Bears bright colored, clean-looking, sweet nuts of fine flavor and immense size ; 
the burs sometimes contain as many as five large nuts. The tree is similar in habit and growth to the 
Spanish Chestnut, and makes a very handsome tree. Many of the trees bloom in the nursery the second 
year from the seed, and we have seen them loaded with nuts at four years old. 
Almonds. 
Sultana and Princesse. Two of the finest varieties grown; the soft-shelled Almonds of commerce 
consist principally of these two varieties.
