Chinese Chestnuts 
The Chinese Chestnut was introduced into the 
United States by the U. S. Department of Agricul- 
ture after the lamentable loss of our American 
Sweet Chestnut by the chestnut blight disease a 
number of years ago. 
We may expect this fine nut to become an orchard 
crop in some sections. Certainly any lover of the 
chestnut can gratify his taste for its fine flavor 
if he will take the trouble to plant a few trees on 
his home grounds. 
When grown in the open, the tree assumes much 
the shape of an apple tree, becoming somewhat 
larger and they should be planted not less than 40 
feet apart. Cross pollination is necessary and we 
suggest planting two or more trees. 
It will never take the place of the American tree 
as forest timber, for it does not grow as large, but 
as a nut tree, it is equal or superior to the native 
chestnut, nuts somewhat larger and equally as sweet 
and flavored. 
We have only 250 Chinese Chestnut trees for sale 
this year, grades as follows: 2 year transplants. 
4 to 5 ft., 3 to 4 ft., 2 to 3 ft. Ask for prices.

NEW! Orient Pear 
The ORIENT is a blight resistant pear introduced 
by the University of Tennessee Experiment Station. 
The tree is large and vigorous, spreading, becoming 
drooping with loads of pears. Open top, requires but 
little pruning, trunk stocky with brown thick 
branches. Plant a Garber of Keiffer with the Orient 
as a pollinator. 
The fruit is picked in mid-August in Knoxville, 314 
to 4 in., uniform in size and shape, they handle well 
when hard ripe, the skin is thick and tough, flesh 
creamy white and is of good texture and mild flavor. 
We are offering this season a few of these new 
Orient, and upon your request for prices we will 
quote you, offering the following grades, 1-year 
buds on Calleryanna understock: 
3 to 4 ft., 4 to 5 ft. and 5 to 6 ft.
