Chestnuts (Chinese) Castanea Mollissima 
Sweet, delicious, Blight resistant. 
Will not thrive on damp or heavy soils. 
Bears 3-5 years. 
Set 40 x 40 feet for orchard, 28 per acre. 
Plant two for pollenation. 
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. 
A letter just received from an Alabama planter says: 
“Planted 22 trees in 1934, 1946 harvested 1722 lbs. from 
them, 1947, 150 lbs. from one tree.” 
Why plant grafted trees that cost three times as much 
and just as you think you have something, they break 
at the graft. 
Yes—sorry but due to seed scarcity can’t offer smaller 
sizes:

Only a few for those who wish them. 2-3 ft. and 3-4 ft. 
each price same as above. 
PLANTING SUGGESTIONS—Walnut-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.

SUGAR MAPLE 
This remarkable crop tree, the source of the finest sugar 
and sirup in the world has been over-looked too long by 
forester and agricultural expert. 
It is most beautiful, drought resistant and rapid growing. 
The only reason YOU haven’t tapped your few trees is 
because it wasn’t brought to your attention in our fast 
moving society.
