Iris, Iris Seed, Chestnuts 
RICHMOND —(No. 23) 1933. The ground color of this mar¬ 
velously beautiful variety is difficult to define, as it does not 
exactly match any of the color plates in Ridgeway’s Color 
Chart. Its rich lustrous color closely approaches Royal Pur¬ 
ple, and Dark Violet coming about half way between these 
two colors. Some of the flowers are lightly mottled and 
splashed with light pink, prominent orange color at base of 
petals. Richmond is by far the richest colored Japanese 
Iris I have ever seen. 
Price, $1.50 each, $15.00 per dozen

lilac. Prominent blotch of deep cadmium yellow at base

TALMANYA —(No. 4). Pale kings blue, irregularly splashed and

Blight Proof Chestnut Trees 
Over s wide section of our country, the Chestnut tree blight 
killed practically all our native Chestnuts. The younger gen¬ 
eration has never enjoyed the pleasures of Chestnuting en¬ 
joyed by older generations. In fact, they do not even know 
what a chestnut tree looks like. 
This new blight resistant species we are offering you, was 
found growing in Northern China where the Chestnut blight 
originated, and was brought to this country by an egent of 
the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, who found it thriving in the 
midst of large numbers of dead trees of other species that 
had succumbed to the ravages of thei blight. The late Dr. 
Walter Van Fleet, sent us several trees grown from nuts this 
agent brought to America. These trees are now over 20 years 
old and have been bearing for the past five or six years. The trees 
we are offering are seedlings from the trees propogated from 
nuts brought from northern China.
