cost of producing and harvesting this crop is nominal. They require no special spraying, 
pruning or thinning. The nut falls free from the burr. 
Chestnuts will adapt themselves to ordinary orchard soils with proper drainage. For 
large, rich, brown, glossy nuts far superior to those of our foreign competitor, we are receiv¬ 
ing a premium of 5 to 8 cents per lb. Chestnuts produced in the Northwest show beautiful 
color, well filled burrs, large size and heavy tonnage. 
The following sorts of grafted chestnut trees are proven sorts for this Coast and .a 
variety should be planted to insure good cross pollenization: 
Fuller. Medium size, sweet flavor and fine quality. An excellent keeper and drops 
free from the burr. 
« 
Progress. Medium size, exceedingly fine flavor. Tree a strong grower. Drops free. 
Large American Sweet. An extremely large nut, highly colored, ripens early and de¬ 
mands best prices. Drops free from the burr. 
Colossal. A very large chestnut, deep brown, glossy color. Strong grower; excellent 
flavor and often grows the size of a 50-cent piece. Drops free from the burr. 
Chinese Hairy Chestnut. A large, sweet, blight resistant Chinese sort. 
Chestnuts will respond to the same cultivation, fertility, drainage and cover cropping 
as a walnut grove. Chestnuts do not blossom until summer time and are sure croppers. 
The field for expansion in the chestnut industry is great. Markets are good, and a 
grove of chestnuts will prove to be a valuable asset to any farm in the Pacific Northwest.
