Dwarf Pear Tree 
Luscious, fat Chestnuts can again be 
yours from the trees you plant this 
spring. Native Chestnuts have been a 
thing of the past for several years. 
That is changed now by the advent of 
these blight-resistant trees which will 
bear nuts two years after planting. 
These trees of Chinese stock are quick 
3 to 5-ft., 2-yr.-old nursery-grown trees. Shipped 
trimmed, ready to plant, guaranteed, prepaid 
Will Bear Each Fall 
From about September 15 on, 
you will reap a royal harvest of 
shiny, taste-tempting Chestnuts 
once your trees are established. 
Superb ‘for eating raw, for 
roasting, for Chestnut dressing 
in the holiday turkey. 

Trees Are Ornamental 
These lovely trees bring beauty 
and distinction in addition to 
their crop of delicious nuts. 
Free-growing, they have at- | 
tractive, glossy,rich green leaves | 
on low-sweeping branches. , 
The most productive nut trees | 
for northern latitudes, Chest- | 
nuts do better in poor soil than — 
any other nut trees. Will grow 
more rapidly and reward you 
handsomely if fertilized. Rug- 
ged, vigorous . . . they do well 
in exposed places but must have 
a well-drained soil. 
Best crops insured by planting two or more trees for pollination 
Early in the season every branch will be covered with lovely fragrant 
white blossoms. So profuse, so handsome, they are a garden decoration 
in themselves. 
Ideal for the modest garden where you don’t have room for large fruit 
trees. Dwarf Pears serve the double purpose of being handsome specimen 
flowering trees when they are covered with blooms in the spring, and 
then later in the season they reward you with fabulous quantities of 
delicious, juicy pears. 
Few other plants have the unique advantage of being both beautiful and 
practical. Few other plants will arouse so much curiosity and interest 
and give you such waves of pride and personal enjoyment.
