New Tree for Our Friends 
/ CHINESE CHESTNUT 
QUICK GROWER, PRODUCING LARGE 
CROP OF NUTS EVEN WHEN TREE IS 
YOUNG. A FINE ORNAMENTAL SHADE 
TREE AS WELL. 
The new Chinese Chestnut received much 
favorable comment in a number of articles 
in national magazines last spring. Does 
well in all sections of the country except 
where alkali soils prevail. Hardy and pro- 
ductive. Gives you a beautiful ornamental 
shade tree as well as a profit producing 
crop. Mature size is about that of an aver- 
age Apple tree. Grow quickly and vigor- 
ously and begin to bear about the time 
they are four years old. Nuts vary in size 
with localities but easily run as large as 
the extinct American variety and in 
most cases they are larger. Any soil or 
location that will grow an Apple tree 
will grow good Chinese Chestnuts. Very 
long-lived and produce abundantly year 
after year. Plant two trees to insure 
pollination. We offer nice, 2-year 
plants, about 2 ft. high, which may be 
trimmed and grown as trees or allowed 
to grow as a heavy shrub. $1.25 each; 
2 for $2.25, (postpaid East of the 
Rocky Mountains. West of the Rockies 
add 10c per plant for extra postage 
charges.) 
WEEPING WILLOW 
FAST GROWING, GRACEFUL, 
ORNAMENTAL 
The well knowr graceful 
Weeping Willow whose long 
drooping branches, densely cov- 
ered with fresh green leaves, 
make it one of the best loved 
trees. Very rapid grower. 4- to 
6-ft. trees, $1.25 each; 2 for 
$2.25. Shipping charges collect. 
New Hardy, Soft Shelled 
ENGLISH WALNUT 
Another splendid nut tree new to 
our catalog this year. This is the 
large soft shelled English Walnut 
which is hardy and produces well in 
the northern sections of the country, 
having been developed in the state 
of New York. Trees begin bearing 
when very young and produce heavy 
crops of delicious, full-meated, soft 
shelled nuts. Thrive in ordinary, well 
drained soil. We offer nice, 2-yr., 
2-ft. trees at $1.25 each; 2 for 
$2.25, (postpaid East of the Rocky 
Mountains. West of the Reckies 
add 10c per plant for extra postage 
charges.)

ornament. A beautiful effect is created by 
planting three of them as a_triangle, about 
20 feet apart. Nice, straight, 5- to 6-ft. trees,
