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 Ibs. 
of nuts from 100 6-year-old trees this year despite a loss of 15% of the burrs from 
hurricane damage. 
Sorry, we are sold out of everything but 1 yr. Seedlings this year. 
Prices: 1 yr. Seedlings from heavy bearing strains, 8”-16” tops: each 75¢; 3 for $2.00; 
10 for $6.00. 
SPECIAL NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
After September Ist, 1946, our post office address will be Canandaigua, New York, 
instead of Naples. We are retaining our extensive grape and fruit plantings on our 
Naples farm but since we grow all of our nursery stock on our Canandaigua farm we 
can work more efficiently if our storage and office are located there. We have in the 
process of construction a new modern nursery storage building which will be ready 
for use in 1946. This will enable us to give you better service and make it possible to 
supply stock that is fresh and vigorous as we have always supplied in the past. 
We wish to give our sincere thanks for your continued confidence and patronage. Your 
generous response in the past has made the steady growth of our business possible and 
we appreciate it.
