Chestnut. {Castanea dentata) A noble tree, 60 to 80 or even 100 feet high. Whenever you see something kept under lock and key, bars and bolts, guarded and double guarded, you may be sure it is very precious, greatly coveted — the nut of this tree is hung high aloft, wrapped in a silk wrapper which is en- closed in a case of sole leather, which again is packed in a mass of shock- absorbing vermin-proof pulp, sealed up in a waterproof iron-wood saft and finally cased in a vegetable porcupine of spines, almost impregnable.
