Our chestnuts are held in cold storage from the day harvested and are wide- 
ly acclaimed for planting purposes, with many pounds having been shipped as far 
as France and Italy. As shipped, the nuts are in proper condition for planting 
and have been culled of all spoiled cr dried nuts, For eating uses it is desir- 
able to cure the nuts furthér, under cool and airy conditions , until the kernels 
are spongy. Excessive heat, or drying, or storage in air-tight containers will 
destroy the nuts for both eating and planting. 
For planting. nuts with sound and firm-fresh kernels only should be used. 
They may be pianted in the fall if protected from rodents, but spring planting 
is most often tant The nuts may be planted either in rows or beds, at 3" to 5” 
spacings, 2" to 3% deep, and mulched with sawdust or pine-straw, or other avail- 
able material in crder to retain moisture and hold soil temperatures lower and 
more constant. he Chinese chestnut germinates at quite low temperatures so 
planting must be timed to prevent frost injury to the tender new sprouts. 
The Chinese chestnut is not too particular as to soil types although soils 
that are slightly acid are preferred. Good drainage is essential to healthy tree 
growth, Moderate fertilization with ccmnercial mixtures or with organic composts 
is recommended. 
Table use of the Chinese chestnut may be in many forms. Some like the raw 
nut but most prefer it roasted, boiled, creamed, glace'd, or otherwise processed. 
It is adaptable to all the uses to which the native American chestnut was once 
applied,
