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 for marketing and hog feed. I’ve planted 300. 
One man reported his 21, 13-year-old trees ‘bearing 
1,836 lbs. Want in on it?

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.
