BLIGHT RESISTANT CHINESE 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 3 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 
growth and bears early when grafted upon the northern pecan 
root as I grow them. The nuts are medium in size, rather round, 
lightly riocbed 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. 
\ 
f:CALLISTER HICAN—A cross between the pecan and the 
hickory. Note  illustra- 
tion. Tree is a very rapid 
grower. Fully as hardy 
as a native hickory. 
Trees have large, thick, 
Airk geen foliage and 
smooth, light bark which 
makes them well suited 
for ornamental planting 
The exceptionally large 
nuts crack easily and 
yield good flavored ker- 
nels possessing much of 
the hickory flavor. 
ENGLISH WALNUTS—Seedliings trees grow here quite well. 
but as mentioned in a previous paragraph, are not sufficiently 
hardy to carry the staminate bloom though 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.
