BLIGHT RESISTANT NCHINESE CHESTNUT TREES— They 
are one of the most showy nut trees. Being fast growers they are 
ideal for lawns and back-yards. You may look for crops of those 
large sweet chestnuts in 8 or 4 years. Two trees of these must 
be planted for pollination. There is a heavy demand for nuts of 
the C. chestnut right now for planting and eating so be sure to 
set out a few trees. 
~ ABSCODA SHAGBARK HICKORY—Located by myself while 
out gathering hickory nuts during the fall of ‘34. It makes a fine 
erowth and bears early when grafted _upon_ the northern pecan 
root as I grow them. The nuts ar2 medium in size, rather round, 
lightly ribbed and snow white. Meats come out readily without a 
pick, yielding halves and twin-halves. Be sure to give this fine shag- 
bark a trial if you have room for a tree. 
So eaeureels HICAN—A cross between the 
pecan and the hickory. 
Note illustration. Tree is 
a very rapid grower. Ful- 
ly as hardy as a native 
hickory. Trees have lar- 
ge, thick, drak green fol- 
iage and smooth, light 
bark which makes them 
well suited for ornamen- 
tal planting. The except- 
ionally large nuts crack 
easily and yield good 
flavored kernels possess- 
ing much of the hickory 
flavor. 
ENGLISH WALNUTS—Seedlines trees grow here quite well, 
but as mentioned in a previous paragraph, are not ° sufficiently 
hardy to carry the staminate bloom through the cold winters. We 
have discontinued all varieties heretofore listed and wish to intro- 
duce our new exceptionally hardy varieties. Grafted on black wal- 
nut roots.
