HALE, SOUTH GLASTONBURY, CONNECTICUT 19 Useful Japanese Sweet Chestnuts. Burr of MacFarland Chestnut. JAPANESE SWEET CHESTNUTS Beautiful trees of graceful form Nuts of largest size and fine quality NUT-PLANTING has of recent years become very popular and profitable, and in every section where the Chestnut grows naturally, Chestnuts are being planted, and native sprouts and seedlings are being grafted with cions of largest and best varieties obtainable - either large selected natives or the beautiful large Japanese varieties and their seedlings. Several years ago, after carefully investigating every class and variety of improved Chest- nuts, I became convinced that the Japanese were best for us to grow here. Beautiful, semi- dwarf habit of trees, early bearing, large size and great beauty of nuts, freedom from worms, and in grafting a habit of uniting more freely to our native stocks, were the strong points in favor of the Japan Chestnuts over all others. From Luther Burbank's collection of over 20,000 seedlings were selected the three that were believed to possess the most desirable qualities of all, and I am confident that any one who wants to grow nuts for profit or wants a beautiful tree for the ornamenting of grounds, and nut production as well, will find these varieties the best.
