CONCLUSION 
In conclusion I will say the filbert culture is 
fascinating; it combines pleasure and profit. I ul- 
berts are not perishable and do not require an im- 
mediate market, and with practically none pro- 
duced in the East, and with an ever-growing de- 
mand there is a ready market for all the filberts 
that may be produced in the Northwest for years 
to come. 
To me no other horticultural industry looks 
more promising than filbert culture in the Pacific 
Northwest, and particularly in the Puget Sound 
region, especially north of Seattle, where the 
weather conditions are so favorable, the bearing 
of certain varieties is good and regular, and the 
size and quality of the nuts are not surpassed in 
any country.
