Chinese CHESTNUTS 
PLANT THEM FOR PRODUCTION OF LUSCIOUS NUTS 
ORNAMENTAL SHADE OR COMMERCIAL ORCHARD. 
EARLY BEARING, FAST GROWING, BLIGHT RESISTANT TREES 
We highly recommend planting Chinese Chestnuts on hill sides or on 
land not adapted to general farming where soil is sufficiently fertile to 
support the trees. They not only produce a beautiful orchard but bring 
added revenue from the sale of nuts. Many growers now have orchards 
in production and report ready sale on nuts at 50c to 90c per pound. 
Write us about location and we will be glad to advise regarding a 
commercial planting. 
We are offering here the finest types, hardy, blight resistant and high 
quality chestnuts our Government representatives could find in the great 
Chestnut producing areas of China.

Grafted Strains of Selected Chinese Chestnuts 
NANKING — MEILING — KULING 
These are recently released selections by the U. 8. D. A. which have 
been grafted to bring them into fruiting sooner and from our observation 
we believe that you will find them to be equally or more resistant to 
Chestnut blight than most of the strains which have been offered up to 
this time. Compatibility of all grafted types of Chestnuts is still a question 
and these varieties are no exception, but are of the Peter LUI selections 
with inheritance for high productivity and nuts of good size and above 
average eating and keeping qualities.

SELECTED STRAINS 
YOU CAN TRUST. 
ALL FOUR TYPES 
HAVE BEEN FULLY 
TESTED. 
TYPE 1. Original selection made 
from the finest Chestnut trees to be 
found in the area of Hopeh province, 
and Tietsin, Northern China. 
TYPE 2. Original selection made 
from the very best Chestnut trees of 
similar type growing near Fa HAU Tze 
Temple, located in the Mountains 
North of Peking. 
TYPE 3.‘\J. A. K. A selection made 
many years ago by the late Dr. Van 
Fleet and presented to John A. Kemp, 
Little Silver, N. J., where the tree may 
be found today, bearing large annual 
erops of nuts. This strain resembles 
the American Sweet Chestnut to a 
greater degree than any other we have 
observed. It is a fertile type and a 
splendid pollinator. Only in 18-24 inch 
and 2 to 3 ft. sizes. 
TYPE 4. \¥ ABUNDANCE. © Possibly 
one of the best selections. Comparable 
to J. A. K. which it strongly resembles 
in size and quality of nut. 
NOTE: So strong has been the de- 
mand for J.A.K. variety that we can 
only supply a limited amount of 18-24’’ 
and 2 to 3 foot trees. Order early and 
give second choice.
