CHESTNUT, Chinese. 25-30 ft. 
Replacing the sweet chestnut which has been almost 
destroyed by Chestnut blight. It is not quite as large 
or as hardy as the sweet chestnut but generously pro- 
duces as many and as good nuts. Has proven hardy 
here. 
COTTONWOOD. See Poplar. 
CRAB. Small trees flowering in May and very desirable 
for landscape purposes. They easily take the place of 
Japanese Cherries which are not dependable here. The 
crabs are hardy and afford a good range of colors. The 
blossoms last longer than the flowering plum or cherry 
blossoms and several bear fruit excellent for jelly or 
preserves.
