PLANT A CHESTNUT ORCHARD 


We have planted some of our young stock in native 
chestnut cleaned land and immediately adjoining were 
old chestnut stumps with sprouts growing up. Results 
show that the native sprouts would blight after attain- 
ing two or three years growth, while our Hardy Var- 
iety is blight resistant, and are strong vigorous trees, 
laden with nuts. It is therefore evident that we have 
a Chestnut that is very valuable. 
What the Hardy Variety Will Do 
Planting the Chestnut of our Hardy Variety will 
serve a four-fold purpose: 
1—The fine, large nuts are a delight to gather and 
eat and valuable when offered for sale. 
Z2—As shade trees they are beautiful and give a 
dense shade. 
3—They are ornamental. 
4_Chestnut timber is very valuable and in late 
years when still obtainable was used in the finest homes 
for inside finishings in natural wood. 
Anyone considering the planting of trees for any 
of the former purposes should consider our Hardy 
Chestnut Trees. 
They require no spraying or dusting as fruit or- 
chards and are young and prolific bearers. We have 
quite a number of trees in the nursery rows with burrs. 
We also have won two prizes with our fine Chest- 
nuts in a National Contest.
