“CHINESE CHESTNUTS. Since the Chestnut Blight has practically de- 
stroyed the American Sweet Chestnut, the almost blight resistant Chinese 
Chestnut is taking its place as a nut producer, and generally the nuts are as 
good in quality, as large, and produce freely. Most of the trees are not as 
winter hardy as our-native’species and should be planted in favored places in 
a climate like Central Iowa has.

GRAFTING WAX. Nut tree grafting is usually done later than fruit tree 
grafting and nut tree scions are much slower starting so are often still dor- 
mant when some very hot weather comes. The waxes commonly used break 
up or separate in such weather and the oil or fat they contain penetrates be- 
tween the scions and stock hindering or preventing a union. After much ex- 
perimenting the U. S. Department of Agriculture has developed a wax which 
does not do this and so gives a much higher percentage of successful unions. 
It is composed only of Rosin, Beeswax, and Kieselguhr and we are pleased to 
offer it at 90c per lb, postage paid. Try this for any grafting and see if it 
does not greatly increase the success of your work, and especially under un- 
favorable weather conditions.
