GRAFTED CHINESE CHESTNUTS: If you see our nursery in late autumn you find nice 
burrs even on some smali trees -in the nursery rows. Some two year grafts are bearing 
and some 3-4 foot trees have a nut crop. These. are proven trees,.* 
U. S. D. A. Varieties: We have Nanking, Kuling and Meiling, the three varieties 
released by the U. S. Department of. Agriculture. We also have the more widely tested 
Connecticut Yankee. Due to limited stock, we select varieties on orders. If you 
must name the varieties, we must charge you more. Write for these prices. 
SEEDLING CFINESE CHESTNUTS: I have worked with chestnuts since 1897, As a result 
of travels in China, { have made five large importations of seed and can now offer 
Ching Chow Chinese Chestnut Seedlings. They have proved absolutely blight proof, not 
merely blight resistant. I say blight proof because they have lived at least eigh- 
teen years in this country without any injury from blight, although constantly exe 
posed to it. More reliable producers than most seedlings. Can be safely planted as 
basis of profitable business, but not so productive as grafted trees.
