Blight Proof Chestnut Trees 
Over a 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 agent 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 the 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 offer¬ 
ing are seedlings from the trees propagated from nuts brought 
from northern China. 
This species will never make a large timber tree. It is rath¬ 
er dwarf in habit, and grows into wonderfully beautiful sym¬ 
metrical specimens for landscaping work. The nuts are the 
same size, and of the high, sweet quality of our native chest¬ 
nuts. They are very palatable both in the raw and cooked state. 
Trees, 2-3 feet, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. Larger and 
heavier bod ed trees, $1.50 each, $15.00 per dozen. Express 
charges collect.
