Chinese Chestnuts. Note the large size of nuts 
bear earlier. The tree is spreading in habit of growth much like an apple tree and 
should be spaced the same distance in planting. Fall or Spring planting is equally 
good. After planting the trees should receive clean cultivation until August Ist. 
In the absence of cultivation the trees should be mulched. ‘They will stand our 
coldest winters without injury if late cultivation is not practiced. No fertilizer 
should be used the first year but the trees should be fertilized and cared for the 
same as fruit trees in subsequent years. Chinese Chestnuts are not a novelty by any 
means. They are here to stay. One Maryland grower we know harvested 755 lbs. 
of nuts from 100 6-year-old trees this year despite a loss of 15% of the burrs from 
hurricane damage.

Our supply of grafted Black Walnuts, Filberts and English Walnuts is exhausted. 
These trees require a great deal of time in grafting and other care and we have 
been forced to discontinue growing grafted stock for lack of labor. We hope to 
have a good supply of Filberts for next year. 
ORDER EARLY 
Last year we refunded on hundreds of late orders because our supply of stock was 
entirely sold. Scarcity of labor has resulted in a smaller volume of stock produced 
and our supply this year in many varieties is limited. If there is some variety you 
particularly want, be sure to order it early to avoid disappointment. These are 
true statements. Order early this year!
