Nursery stock New Jersey Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Fruit Seedlings Catalogs; Trees Seedlings Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. PARRYS' POMONA NURSERIES. 23 PEDIGREE CHESTNUTS. Since our first importation of Japan Mam- moth Chestnut by a careful selection of seed from trees yielding, in abundance, nuts of large size, good form, good quality, and ripening early, we have produced a very superior strain of this valuable Chestnut, that can be relied on to bear large, handsome and desirable nuts. From among thousands of these Pedigree Japan Mammoth Chestnuts we have selected a few of rare value. Their special features being young fruiting, great and uniform an- nual productiveness, large and attractive nuts of good quality, ripening early, all of which they possess in a remarkable degree. They are much larger than any of the American, French, Spanish or Italian varieties. They commence bearing much younger—one year grafts are often set with nuts; ripen much earlier, which is of vast importance to the market man; are much more productive, and are brighter, smoother nuts, free from fuz, which renders them more attractive and salable. We have fruited them several years, and they have never failed to produce good crops, having no off years. The Japan Chestnuts, like the Spanish, have a bitter skin, which should be removed before eating raw, when the kernel beneath will be sweet and good, or the bitterness of the skin will disappear by cooking. Seed- lings grown from these large selected nuts seldom fail to produce large fine nuts at three or four years of age. JAPAN GIANT " Parrys9 99—\n offering JAPAN CHESTNUTS, both Parry s9 and Pedigree9 we wish to im- press upon our customers the advantage of the particular strain of varieties we are propagating over those generally offered, which, as a rule, are imported.
