BLIGHT RESISTANT CHESTNUT 
LARGE, SWEET CHESTNUTS ARE AGAIN A REALITY 
Approximately thirty years ago blight destroyed our Native American 
Chestnuts. The U Department of Agriculture—after many tests— 
introduced a type of Chinese Chestnut not only blight-resistant, but 
an early bearer of large, goud quality nuts. Trees start bearing when 
very young, aften in 2 to 5 years, and succeed anywhere American 
Sweet Chestnut formerly grew; in fact, they are successful in most 
parts of the United States. A well drained, sunny location is recommend- 
ed. Plant Chinese Chestnut for attractive home ground shade trees and 
also reap a harvest of delicious, sweet nuts. 1to10 10to30

\ CHINQUAPIN 
(Castanea Pumila) 
A junior member of the Chestnut family. Small, shrublike tree 
maturing at the size of a Peach tree. Begins bearing early—often 
first year after transplanting. Delicious nuts 2 inch in diameter 
are borne singly in Chestnut-like burrs, ripening in September. 
Surely you have a place on the lawn, in the garden or orchard for 
some of these interesting, ornamental, as well as fruitful little 
trees. Just think of the fun the children can have harvesting 
Chinquapins.

NUT TREES 
At one time wild, native nuts in an assortment of varieties could be 
harvested in almost all timbered sections of the East, but this is no long- 
er possible. American Sweet Chestnut was wiped out by blight. Shellbark 
Hickory has been cut for wood, and even Black Walnut—one of the most 
valuable timber trees—has been practically eliminated as a native tree. 
So if we are to enjoy nuts, it is necessary to plant and cultivate them, 
as other crops. 
As Nut trees have a deep root system, and are heavy feeders, they 
respond to fertile, well drained soil. For best results, plant two or more 
trees, providing for cross pollination. 
English Walnut 
~ ENGLISH WALNUT 
A familiar nut in stores, but it is not generally known that English 
Walnuts can be grown to perfection here in Virginia and other Eastern 
States. It could mean to the Middle Atlantic area what Pecans mean to 
the Deep South. Two trees on a farm here in the Shenandoah Valley have 
for the past 25 years more than paid taxes on the entire farm, besides 
supplying the family. English Walnut trees require no more care than 
Apples, begin bearing as early.

FILBERT (Hazelnut) 
Hardy valuable nut which grows into a small, shrublike tree, seldom 
attaining a height of more than 15 feet. We offer both the native 
American and the much improved Barcelona European Filbert. Both are 
adapted to a wide range of soil and climate and are being cultivated in 
most parts of the United States. Useful for shrub borders or screens, as 
well as producing nuts. 
Family favorite Filbert. Attractive bush, yielding 
abundant crops of tasty, round nuts; young bearer.

NUT CULTURE PROMISING AS A COMMERCIAL CROP 
We quote from the Home Horticulturist, published in Chi- 
cago, Illinois, emphasizing Nut Culture for profit and as a 
hobby: 
“It would seem that nut culture offers much promise as a 
commercial crop. In addition it is interesting and a much en- 
joyable hobby, funishing food for the home.”
