WE DON’T GROW TREES TO SELL _ | 
WE SELL TREES TO GROW : 
Bearing Chinese Chestnut 4 Yrs. Old 
This is a 4 yr. tree representing our 300 tree 
chinese chestnut planting. Photoed last year. 
Don’t know what the crop is today as I’ve been 
an invalid this year. But I'll say this. When 
our groves on marginal land hit their stride in 
bearing I’m going to (if I’m still living) send 
each one of you old “graybeards”’ a post card to 
bring in your grandchildren. You teach them the 
pleasures of your youth, pay by the lb. for what 
you pick, nothing for YOUR pleasure. 
We have the largest block of largest chestnut 
trees in America. That means quick bearing for 
you.
