Therefore the open umbrella In the house became associated with the Idea of a death. Chestnut Trovs There-is a Chinese hairy chestnut and a Japanese chestnut, but no Japanese hairy chestnut. The Chinese hairy chestnuts are being brought to this country In the hope that they will replace our chestnut trees which were destroyed by a blight.
