SANTA CLAUS BARGAINS 
for that person who has almost every- 
thing: 
1. Some grafted Chinese Chestnut 
trees that have already produced nuts. 
They are such early bearers that many 
trees 4-6 feet bore in 1952 and were 
carefully marked. We offer you these 
marked bearing trees. 
2. “Tree Crops, Farming Without 
Plowing,” $5.00 Postpaid. Channing 
Cope says in “The Land” magazine: 
“Personally, I can think of nothing 
much nicer than a pasture made up 
of honey locusts (the thornless va- 
riety) upstairs and bluegrass and 
clover downstairs, with cattle or sheep 
getting their living from both. It 
would make front porch farming 
even more so.” 
Leonard Hall, also in “The Land,” 
says, “A delight and an inspiration.” 
3. “The Planting, Fertilization and 
Care of Nut Trees and Persimmon 
Trees,” by J. Russell Smith, 35c post- 
paid. 
- THE NEW ERA CHESTNUT 
NURSERY 
is the only one in the United States 
that sells no chestnut trees but grafted 
trees. 
And we are offering this fall and 
next spring nothing but grafted trees 
of approved varieties that have pro- 
duced nuts. 
This block of trees was cruised in 
August by an expert team and each 
bearing tree was carefully marked. 
They will come prepaid to your ex- 
press ofhice. 
To aid transplanting the trunks will 
be dipped in a wax emulsion to reduce 
evaporation. 
The tops will be pruned to balance 
root loss in digging. 
As soon as growth starts dig in two 
ounces of tankage around each tree. 
Keep weeds away until September 1. 
Pick chestnuts Fall of 1954, eight- 
een months after 1953 spring plant- 
ing.
