FILBERTS 
For Pleasure and 
Profit 
FOREWORD 
HE object of this booklet is to call attention 
to the pleasure, profit and permanent satis- 
faction to be gained by the growing of Fil- 
bert Nuts in the Puget Sound district of Western 
Washington—especially that territory lying north 
of Seattle, where climatic and other conditions are 
more favorable to their cultivation than in any 
other portion of the United States. 
As owners of a large area of land in this 
locality, the Puget Mill Company undertook in- 
vestigation of the various products derived from 
the soil in countries possessing similar climatic 
conditions, with the intention of introducing here 
the most profitable and best-adapted yields wher- 
ever they might be found. 
With knowledge that the Puget Sound lo- 
cality has a climate virtually identical with much 
of Southern Europe, and with the British Isles, we 
were led to a special analysis of the fruits, nuts and 
other products of commercial success in those por- 
tions of the globe.
