BIXBY—A hybrid of unknown parentage. 
This tree (in my nursery) supposedly grew from 
a bud taken from some scion wood sent me by 
Mr. Willard G. Bixby. Though when I showed 
him the nuts produced by this tree, he could 
not identify them or give me any information 
on parentage of this variety, stating that he 
had never seen any nuts like them. As nothing 
could be learned of its parentage, I have named 
it Bixby. Nut is large, thin shell, good cracker, 
and tree promises to be a good bearer.

CHINESE CHESTNUTS 
The Chestnut is native to most of the Eastern 
and Central states, but in the past few years, 
practically all the native Chestnut trees have 
een killed by the blight, which is an imported 
disease. 
To replace these valuable trees the Chinese 
and Japanese varieties have been imported. 
These are highly resistant to the blight, and are 
growing and bearing in the blight affected ter- 
ritory without showing signs of this disease. 
Chestnut trees are native to upland, and will 
grow on poor soil, though like any other tree will 
do better on good soil, and will readily respond 
to cultivation. 
Chestnut trees bear very young, often produce 
a few nuts the second or third season. 
The supply of these trees is very limited in 
Nurseries, and the demand has increased to the 
extend that all my trees are called for as seed- 
lings in small size. 
These Chinese seedling chestnut trees as a 
rule produce good size nuts, and many planters 
prefer to plant them as Seedlings. 
My parent stock is grown from seed imported 
from China, and there being no other chestnut 
trees in this neighborhood, insures my nursery 
stock to be true Chinese.

NO TREE PLANTING IS COMPLETE 
WITHOUT NUT TREES 
Regardless of how many kinds and varieties 
of trees you may have, your planting is not com- 
plete without nut trees, for no other tree product 
will take the place of nuts. Fruit cannot be 
kept as long or with as little care and expense 
as nuts, or be used in aS many ways.
