There are some fine new varieties of 

 nuts, between the filbert and Barcelona 

 nut. 



The Cosford Nut, which is large, of 

 fine flavour, and the shell so thin, as to 

 be oflen broke with the pressure of the 

 fingers alone. 



T/ie Dwarf Prolific Nut, which is also 

 very finely flavoured, a great bearer, and 

 seldom exceeds four feet in height. 



The Cob Nut, is a well known large 

 variety, and an excellent accompani- 

 ment to the desert. 



Filberts may be kept till quite late in 

 the spring, by putting them with the 

 husks on into jars, stopped close with 

 a waxed bung, and either buried in the 

 ground, or kept in a close cellar. I 

 have eaten them in the month oi' JuJy,
