This tree is in our test orchard, making its third 
year’s growth, maturing three burs. Be the first to 
have these sensational treasures imported from China, 
that give us renewed Chestnut production after the 
loss of our trees by the blight. Why wait six to ten 
years for other nuts when you can have these choice 
delicacies in half the time or less? Chinese Chestnuts 
have been thoroughly tested and found to thrive in 
almost any soil that is well drained and fully exposed 
to the sun. We unhesitatingly recommend them to 
you. 

This photograph shows a_ six-year-old Chinese 
Chestnut tree at harvest time—evidence of our good 
stock and early production. We have in our files letters 
from several planters, one in particular from which we 
quote: 
‘“Five-year-old trees having been given 
good care and attention have produced 
a gallon of Chestnuts. Trees in bearing 
10 to 12 years have produced 4 bushels.” 
Not only will these sturdy trees produce crops of 
large, sweet, delicious, full-flavored Chestnuts within 
three to four years, but they rapidly develop into lovely 
shade trees to grace any home ground.
