‘Here are passages from unsolicited letters. / 
“Red Bank, N. J., Oct. 8, 1941 — On April 17, 1939, we bought ea chen

: THE THRILL OF Coeike NUTS 
; tei dndeeeane very fully the thrill of these two middle aged professional men > 
at picking up chestnuts. Ripening chestnuts are beautiful things. It thrills me 
to walk through the nursery in September and October and see the glossy brown — 
nuts. peeping out of the opening burrs with here and there a shiny gleam com- 
ing up from the ground. 
My satisfaction at this has no relation to such earthly matters as eating. 
. ‘Nut trees are fun, as well as beauty, interest and food supply. 
I gave two seedling trees to one of my suburban neighbors some yeats ago. 
‘Now you would almost think he was a bantam rooster to hear him crowing 
about the chestnuts that he gets. He has a lot of fun giving nuts to his. friends. 
_ And incidentally he sends his friends to me to buy trees so that they may, join

Paueinese was brisk last fall and some lines were sold out entirely. In. some , 
varieties we have but few trees to sell. They will be given to those persons who >

We may reprint the price list at any time, omitting the lines that are sold 
_ out. Therefore the advantage of early ordering should be apparent. In the pres- 
ent state of labor and tires we can’t guarantee to race off 7 miles to the station 
_- with one or two hurry orders.

We especially urge those persons who wish to a trees with a ball of earth OT i |

We never can tell what is ahead of us in the matter of weather, ee say 
nothing of the war. Last spring, for example, winter sat on us with heavy snow — 
until the middle of March. The weather man turned on August with tempera- 
ture of 80° April 12. Thus we had a one month aie aed ere: season 
rather than two. 
This spring the war igustwies may take our labor away so that we. > may be. 
unable to handle orders for fifty-or a hundred trees with ball of earth as we did 
last. spring unless they come early.
