CHESTNUTS 
Chestnuts are the world’s most important nut, out¬ 
side of the tropics. No new tree crop seems to offer 
the advantages that chestnuts seem to offer at the 
present time. The chestnut used to be the most 
important tree of our eastern forests. Now they have 
been swept out by the blight and with them has gone 
much of the game that fed upon the nuts. The east¬ 
ern states can replant with Chinese and Japanese 
chestnuts both of which are resistant to the blight. 
These species will have to be planted and given some 
care as they will be overgrown by native trees if 
left without attention. In the northwest there is 
no blight reported and there seems little danger of it. 
There is a good market for chestnuts. We are im¬ 
porting millions of pounds a year. 
CHINESE CHESTNUTS. This species seems best 
adapted to North America and it gives us very high 
quality nuts. Partly dried the pelicle of the Chinese 
comes free from the kernel and leaves a sweet white 
meat. Good raw or cooked. Trees are blight re¬ 
sistant and hardy.
