Grafted Suckerless Trees: We are the originators of this method of propagation 
in nursery grown filbert trees. After finding but one fault with a filbert grove on its 
own root (the continual suckering at the base of the tree) we decided to look deeply into 
the possibility of eliminating this fault and the consequent annual expense. Taking the 
matter up with the Dept, of Agriculture we found the Turkish filbert (Corylus Colurna) 
to be our salvation. We found in this root stock all the advantages any veteran nur¬ 
seryman would seek. Reports on haidiness from Ontario, Canada, indicated that this 
tree would stand 50 degrees below zero on well drained soil. Similar reports came from 
New Hampshire of their hardiness; also from Geneva, New Yoik, come reports of its 
hardiness. Henry Huntting’s Barcelona orchard at Silver Creek, Washington, grafted 
on Turkish root, is now 8 years old and is one of the finest orchards in Washington for 
its age. Records kept by Mr. Huntting show that not a single tree in this block has 
been lost by blight. A check made two years ago on b'. own stain by the IT. S. Dept, of 
Agriculture from Corvallis showed less than 3 per cent brown stain on this root while 
adjacent Barcelona trees on own root showed as much as 25 per cent infection. Brown 
srain, however, was only seasonal and has never appeared again along the coast. There 
is no question about the superior resistance of the Turkish root. 
The Carlton Nursery Company have adjacent to Carlton more than 15 acres of the 
Barcelona grafted on Turkish root that are bearing heavily the finest of quality filberts 
and we invite any prospective planter to visit our orchards and ascertain by personal 
contact the true facts concerning this type of orchard grown on the New Non-sprouting 
Suckerless Root System (known as Turkish Root). We guarantee them to be as repre¬ 
sented, free from base suckers and will prove a great money saver to any filbert grower. 
Much difficulty was expeiienced in getting a foundation laid for the propagation 
cf this Tuikish root stock. After receiving some of the nuts and small trees from the 
Government we set out to find a source of supply in Austria or Turkey. Careful com¬ 
parative checks showed that an orchard of this Tu.kish filbert had been planted within 
our own State 15 years pieviously, by error, the owner thinking he was planting the 
Italian filbert. Observation of this orchard for over 23 years proves them to be entirely 
free from base suckers, true tree form, a rapid grower, free from blight, drought re¬ 
sistant, deep rooted and highly productive. 
We offer grafted on this Turkish loot all the standard proven sorts of filberts, such 
as Barcelona, DuChilly, Biixnut, Daviana, Clackamas, Halles Giant and others. True 
certified bud selection is made for the piopagation of all our stock and this sort of cul¬ 
ture is your assurance of planting a strain of nuts that will not only bear quality but 
will bear quantity, as we have selected buds from trees that have a record of producing 
45 to 60 lbs. of filberts during their 12th year. 
If you wish to plant only the very best stock obtainable in filberts today we strong¬ 
ly encourage you to set this stock grafted on the Suckerless Turkish root. An orchard 
grafted on this Turkish suckerless root stock will not only prove veiy profitable to the 
planter but will prove a source of pleasure to grow. Our 43 years experience in suc¬ 
cessful orchard growing and as reliable and competent nurserymen stands behind this 
product. Careful personal service will be given any commercial planter on application 
Grafted Trees on Barcelona Roots 
Ten years ago, before finding the new Turkish loot stock to be adapted to our 
propagation of filberts, we were using Barcelona seed to produce our foundation stock. 
This root stock we are still using for certain soil conditions for planters and can still 
highly recommend this tree. More than 40 acres budded on the Barcelona root adjacent 
to Carlton has proven the merit of this loot. Rapid growth and excellent productivity 
are outstanding in the C. D. Bockes orchaid. Certified bud selection is used in propa¬ 
gating on this root also. 
For soils inclined to be rather heavy in nature this root is very adaptable. Hun¬ 
dreds of acres now planted on this root prove to us that they are much freer from suck¬ 
ers than the so-called tip layered stock. Mr. A. Kasendorf, Dundee, Oregon, has a six 
year old orchard of this stock side by side with the so-called tip layered trees and will 
assure any planter that the grafted stock on Barcelona whole roots are nearly free 
from base suckers and make very symmetrical trees and are highly productive. This 
method produces a whole root system, with many fine filberous feeders and also carries 
a tap root which aid them in withstanding dry seasons. We offer this root second to 
the Turkish grafted suckerless stock. 
Transplanted Filbert Trees and Tip Layered Stock 
Many conflicting statements have been made regarding so called tip layered or 
transplanted nursery stock on its own root. Nefarious and unfair nurserymen have made 
broad statements about these types of trees being free from suckens, after setting out 
in orchard form. These statements are untrue and such statements should be imme-
