BLIGHT-RESISTANT 
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 
and prolific bearers, usually producing 
3 sweet, full- flavored nuts to each burr. 
Fully as delicious as the native Ameri- 
can Chestnut, but a little larger in size. 
Hardy wherever peach trees will grow 
and in the same general areas where the 
native Chestnuts grew years ago.

fragrant white blossoms. So profuse, so handsome, they are

Will Bear Each Fall 
From about September 15 on, you will reap a 
harvest of shiny, taste-tempting Chestnuts once 
your trees are established. Superb for cating 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 attractive, 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.
