Chestnuts 
For years some effort has been made by 
individuals to select named varieties of this 
Chinese Chestnut (castanea mollissima). 
However, they come so nearly true from 
seed, we strongly recommend the planting of 
seedlings for home and commercial use. A 
large field awaits the use of the Chestnut 
when the American people become con¬ 
vinced that they are resistant enough to 
the blight to make them worth while plant¬ 
ing. The percentage of blighted trees in 
a given planting is so small as to be neg¬ 
ligible. The results obtained from a plant¬ 
ing of this species of Chestnut make them 
very worth while. They are far superior 
to the Japanese variety.

Honey Locust 
This new tree crop shows evidence of be¬ 
ing one of the leading species of impor¬ 
tance in the future of America’s tree crop 
program. The tree crop unit of the Tennessee 
Valley Authority has located a tree whose 
beans have the highest sugar content of any 
plant life. For this reason it is especially 
attractive for planting in pastures for fall 
and winter cattle food. The supply is very 
limited. We recommend that these trees be 
planted in an experimental way only. Your 
cooperation and help in testing out this new 
species of crop tree will be appreciated. 
Calhoun—Pod 32% sugar, weighs 17 to 
the pound bone dry. Parent tree stands in 
northern Alabama, nearly thornless. 
Milwood—Pod 28% sugar, weighs 13 to 
the pound bone dry, these beans are un¬ 
usually large. 
This tree is a powerful grower, outgrow¬ 
ing any other variety. 
The average good Honey Locust has been 
found only in the south, and for that reason 
many people question whether it would be 
hardy in the north. This variety stands in 
the mountains of North Carolina where the 
climate is comparable to Pennsylvania, mak¬ 
ing it particularly interesting for northern 
planting. Both varieties have proven hardy 
here at Downingtown.

Amelanchier (Canadensis) 
Often known as Shadberry, Juneberry, or 
Servisberry, Bush form 
Bearing in nursery row, large clusters of 
blue-black berries in almost solid masses. 
Make attractive specimen for lawn or gar¬ 
den. Attractive white bloomer in the 
spring. Bears heavily. 
Fruit —The best description one can make 
is to compare it with the huckleberry. The 
berries are almost twice the size of the 
huckleberry, and ripen about two weeks 
before them. Excellent to eat out of hand, 
as a table dessert. Last but not least they 
are excellent for bird feed when planted 
along fence rows or in bird sanctuaries.
