’ Chestnuts (Chinese) Castanea Mollissima 
Sweet, delicious, Blight resistant. 
For years some effort has been made by individuals 
to select named varieties of this Chinese Chestnut (casta- 
nea mollissima). However, they come so nearly true from 
seed, we recommend the planting of seedlings for home 
and commercial use. A large field awaits the use of the 
Chestnut when the American people become convinced 
that they are resistant enough to the blight to make them 
worth while planting. 
Here’s some evidence—A man from Elkton, Maryland 
writes ‘‘In my grove of 150, ten year chinese chestnuts 
many bore 30 to 40 pounds per tree. I want to plant 200 
more even tho I’m 70 years old. 
A man from Reading writes—‘‘The dozen one-year trees 
I got from you set in an open woodsy space all bore at 
three years, one bore 1 quart. I thought it would break 
itself down. At four years they all bore, this one bearing 
114 qts. I want to plant 50 acres as soon as the war is over.”’ 
Whenever I need a lift I step over to see my neighbor’s 
bearing grove of 80 to 100 trees. Void of intellectual dreams 
of an ideal short hour work world, they put in two 12 
hour shifts a day growing food that you and I might enjoy. 
Yes—sorry, sorry nothing larger—can’t get them grown 
till they’re sold. Plant two for Pollenation.

PLANTING SUGGESTIONS—Walnuts-Chestnuts 
I suggest you start out with a planting of walnut 60 x 60 
ft. this makes 12 per acre. Then set a chestnut in each 
center of each square of walnut making 12 chestnuts per 
acre. This gives you a nice balance in space and soil 
use for the walnut is tall and deep rooted and the chestnut 
is more shallow rooted with a lower head. 
A Promise of Things to Come, Fall of °45 
We hope to have a good line of Thomas, Ohio, Elmer 
Meyers black walnut, Broadview Eng. walnut grafted 
on black, pecans, hybrid shagbark. These will make up 
to 5 ft. growth. Shagbark, make up to 12 in. growth. 
To be sure of getting your order filled, I suggest you say 
what you want now on a separate sheet, we'll file it and 
write you in the fall, giving sizes and prices. 
Honey Locust (Thornless) (My Introduction) 
Gleditsia triacanthos inermis Sweet pods for cattle feed. 
Will grow 5 tons of fodder containing 1% tons of cane 
sugar per acre. These large pithy pods run to 33% sugar 
13% protein and more startling, nearly a 1000 units of 
Vitamines Bg and some By. Famous for growth value. 
I have been working for years to build up a block of 
larger trees. Each year I’m sold to the limit. This 
season with my beautiful block I feel I can take on all
