sider the difference in value, and pleasure in 
having a tree like this, instead of a maple, or 
other non-producing tree. 

CHESTNUTS 
The Chestnut is native to most of the Eastern, 
and central states, but in the past few years, 
practically all the native Chestnut trees have 
killed by the blight, which is an imported di- 
sease. 
To replace these valuable trees the Chinese 
and Japanese varieties have been imported, 
these are highly resistant to the blight, and ar 
growing and bearing in the blight affected ter- 
ritory without showing signs of this disease. 
Chestnut trees are native to upland, and will 
erow on poor soil, though like any other tree will 
co better on good soil, and will readily respond 
to cultivation. 
Chestnut trees bear very young, often produce 
a few nuts the second or third season. 
Like most other kinds of nut trees, it is well 
to plant two or more varieties for purpose of 
better pollination. 
The supply of these trees is limited in nurser- 
ies. 
Carr (Chinese) tree 4 good grower, nuts large, 
of splendid quality, ripens early.
