NUTS 
CHESTNUT 
Several years ago, Chestnut blight de- 
stroyed our native Chestnuts. Since that 
time the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
has been searching for a _ blight-resistant 
strain. After many tests, it was found that 
a type of Chinese Chestnut was not only 
blight-resistant but an early bearer of large, 
good-quality nuts. For many years trees 
were being offered only for experimental 
purposes, but at Jast we have enough to 
offer through our catalogue. Chinese Blight- 
Resistant Chestnut, 2 yr. transplanted, 2 to 
3 ft., each $6.00. 
ENGLISH WALNUT 
A familiar nut in the stores, but it is not 
generally known that the English Walnut 
can be grown to perfection in many eastern 
states. It could mean to the Middle Atlantic 
area what the pecan means to the deep South. 
2 to 3 ft., each $6.00.
