GREETINGS TO MY CUSTOMERS AND 
FRIENDS FOR FALL OF 1942 AND SPRING OF 1943 
Chestnut growing is rapidly coming to the front. 
Millions of pounds of chestnuts are imported into this 
country from southern Europe each year. 
These nuts could and should be grown at home. 
Trees come into bearing as soon as apple trees, and are a 
most promising venture for the farmer. These trees live and 
bear profitable crops for future generations. 
Chestnut trees make good shade, and are beautiful 
and attractive as ornamental specimens. Instead of merely 
getting a job of raking and burning a crop of leaves each 
fall from other trees, why not plant a few chestnut trees 
and put away a supply of nuts for the family. 
For instance, plant a few trees in a corner of a field. 
and build a fence around them to furnish food for the 
sauirrels and other wild life. Thev will enjoy it and thereby 
help to make game more plentiful. 
Chestnuts come into bearing very young. I have 
trees in my nursery bearing 2 to 6 burrs at 3 years from 
pianting the seed. At 10 years I have trees which yielded 
10 quarts of nuts.
