But now the Xut tree has as much importance and receives as much care as any- thing in the nursery, and we say— " Plant Nut Trees." CHESTNUTS The Story of Our E, nterprise In 1895. Clayton L. Andrews and I purchased 14 acres of Chestnut timber, with the view of growing large cultivated nuts for market, know- ing from past experience that if we could raise good, large nuts they would sell in market at from $8 to $14 per bushel; and we did not know of any better investment. The natural Chestnut trees were removed at the stump. Suckers were allowed to sprout up all around the stumps and grow for one season. The following spring a portion of the suckers, from 6 to 10 on each stump, were grafted with the leading varieties of cultivated nuts: Alpha, Success, Early Re- liance, Paragon. Xumbo, etc. Early Reliance. Alpha and Success bore a few specimen nuts the following sea- son. The next year they gave great promise of produc- ing a full crop. Un- fortunately, during the spring a fire from an adjacent wood burned over.
