HARTINGTON PROLIFIC. Husk, hairy, one-third longer than the 

 nut; the extending portion deeply laciniated and reflexed. Nut, small, 

 long, narrow, and pointed at both ends, irregular, light coloured ; shell, 

 thin ; kernel, full, fine flavour. Grows in clusters of six or seven. 

 Plant of moderate growth ; very prolific and very early. The earliest 

 nut to ripen, but too small. Hort.

LAMBERT FILBERT (Filbert Cob ; Kentish Cob ; Webb's Prize 

 Cob Filbert). Husk, nearly smooth, very much longer than the nut, 

 very slightly cut round the margin. Nut, large, an inch and a quarter 

 long, and three-quarters wide, oblong and somewhat compressed ; 

 shell, pretty thick, of a brown colour ; kernel, full, and very richly 

 flavoured, especially after being kept. 



This is perhaps the best of all the nuts, some of them being an 

 inch in length. If carefully kept they will last for four years, and 

 retain all their richness of flavour. The tree is an abundant bearer. 



I am not aware whether this was raised or only introduced by Mr. Aylmer 

 Bourke Lambert, of Boynton, Wiltshire ; but it is through him that it first was 

 brought to the notice of the Horticultural Society about the year 1812. It is 

 improperly called Kentish Cob, for the true cobs are roundish, thick-shelled nuts, 

 and it is not many years since it was first grown in the orchards of that county, 

 the only varieties previously cultivated being the Red and White Filberts. As 

 evidence that it is of comparatively recent introduction, it is not mentioned by 

 Forsyth or Rogers, nor had a description of it ever been made before it appeared in 

 this work. 



LARGE BLACK FRUITED (A Gros Fruits Noir). Husk, very 

 dark, hairy, nearly as long as the nut, in two divisions, fitting very 

 close to the nut, thereby giving it a bare appearance. Nut, of medium 

 size, long ; the base narrow, widening to the apex, dark or dull coloured ; 

 shell, very thick ; kernel, small. A moderate grower ; prolific ; does not 

 ripen well. Hort. 



LICHTENSTEIN'S. Husk, downy, large, a little larger than the 

 nut; bluntly toothed, the segments slightly reflexed. Nut, medium
