Chestnuts (Chinese) Castanea Mollissima 
Sweet, delicious, Blight resistant. 
Will not thrive on damp or heavy soils. 
Set 40 x 40 feet for orchard, 28 per acre. 
Plant two for pollenation. Bears 3-5 years. 
Note: These are the lowest priced quality trees of the 
larger sizes in America. When I say larger, I mean it— 
these are heavy calip’ed. 
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 
feet, this makes 12 per acre. Then set a chestnut between 
each walnut on the row 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. Plus a 60 ft. middle for 
farming.
