Chinese Hybrid Chestnut 
Castanea mollissima 
Blight-resistant 
Develops into a low, spreading tree which should_be- 
gin to bear three years after planting. Nuts are of ex- 
cellent roasting or stuffing quality, medium large and 
freely produced. 
Blight-resistant Chinese Hybrid is the American 
scientist’s answer to the Chestnut blight, which has 
killed nearly all our native Chestnuts in the northeast- 
ern United States. 
Any good loamy soil will grow tnem, provided it 
drains well; avoid wet land. They are best planted in 
threes, neighbors codperating by planting one or two, 
where necessary; this is to insure pollination, on which 
the formation of nuts depends.
