NUT TREES 
ALMONDS 
In the United States, California enjoys a practical monopoly on commercial almond 
production. There are no signs oj overproduction oj this crop, as we produce less than 
one-half oj the almonds consumed each year in this country. The balance are imported 
Jrom Spain and Italy. Almonds are best adapted to our warm interior sections, and 
have proven an excellent investment in proper locations. They will stand more drought 
than most other tree crops: being grown without irrigation in many districts. Growers 
are finding however that they are amply repaid by irrigation obtaining larger crops oj 
better quality. All varieties oj almonds are selj-sterile, and two varieties must be planted 
to obtain cross-pollination.

FILBERTS 
Filberts are improved varieties oj the 
old hazelnut which grows wild up and down 
the Pacific Coast. Filberts are coming to 
be extensively grown in Oregon, and ex¬ 
perience is proving them to be well adapted 
to many sections in northern Calijornia 
and along the coast. They are immune to 
jrost in this state, and growers in jrosty 
locations ojten find this nut ideally suited 
to their conditions. The trees bear at an 
early age, and ojten produce more than a 
ton to the acre at jull bearing. There has 
always been a good commercial demand 
Jor jilberts produced in this country. Cross 
pollination is one oj the most important 
problems in connection with jilbert culture, 
and more than one variety must be planted.

Barcelona. By far the best variety, and 
80 % of all plantings should consist of 
Barcelona. Nut medium to large, rich 
brown in color. Shell medium thick; 
kernel sweet and excellent. One of the 
heaviest producers. 
Davlana. A very light producer, but an 
excellent pollinizer for Barcelona and Du 
Chilly. Tree an upright grower. 
Du Chilly. A large nut with medium thick 
shell, and excellent quality. A good pollini¬ 
zer for Barcelona, and of medium production. 
Second only to Barcelona in desirability. 
White Avellne. A light producer which is 
grown for its pollinizing value. The tree is 
low growing.

*Eureka. Nut large, oblong and of good 
appearance. Shell medium thick, very well 
sealed; withstands handling well. Kernel 
of good quality. The tree attains large size, 
and is a good cropper. A late bloomer. 
♦Mayette. Nuts large, roundish, broad at 
base. Shell thin kernel full, sweet and rich. 
A regular, heavy bearer. Blooms earlier 
than Franquette, but later than Payne’s 
seedling. Very popular in Santa Clara Co. 
with soft shell. Kernel of good size, sweet, 
and of fairly good quality. A heavy producer 
^Nonpareil. The leading variety, and all 
plantings should consist of a large percentage 
of this kind. Nut medium size; shell very 
thin, “papershell”. Kernel long, plump, 
sweet and of the best quality. Tree vigorous, 
and a good cropper. The highest priced 
variety in the market. 
Peerless. A large shapely nut; smooth, 
bright, and very handsome. Shell hard. A 
favorite in the Sacramento Valley, where it 
produces regular and heavy crops. 
Texas Prolific. A small to medium nut. 
Shell hard; kernel plump and sweet. A 
favorite for commercial cracking. The tree 
is a heavy producer, and it is the most popu¬ 
lar sort for pollinizing other varieties. 
Franquette. The leading variety of north¬ 
ern and central California. Nut large, 
elongated and tapering. Kernel of excellent 
quality. The tree attains great size, is 
highly resistant to Walnut Blight, and is a 
good cropper. A very late bloomer. We 
recommend Frostfighter as a pollinizer. 
Payne’s Seedling. A nut fully as large as 
Franquette, with a medium thin shell, and 
a kernel of excellent quality. Tree of 
medium size; bears at a very early age, and 
is exceedingly productive. Does particularly 
well in San Joaquin County.

W A L N UTS 
This year we are offering all varieties oj walnuts on Leib’s three-blood Royal root, 
as well as on the regular Northern Calijornia Black. Trees on Leib’s three-blood Royal 
root are more rapid and vigorous growers, and there is evidence ot indicate that they are 
less subject to sunburn. We take a great deal oj pride in our walnut trees. They are 
large, straight trees, free jrom sunburn, and budded about ten inches jrom the ground, 
so the English trunk does not come in contact with the soil. We believe we are giving 
extra value in walnuts, and prospective purchasers are urged to see our stock bejore 
purchasing. Prices this year are lower than in many seasons.
