Transplanted filbert trees are secured in our nurseries by lining out so called tip 
layers in the nursery row. The roots of this lining out stock are pruned back heavily 
before planting, in the nursery row, to eliminate as far as possible all the old root, which 
causes undue sprouting or suckering at the base of the tree for many years to come, 
after planting has been made in your orchard. However, we assure you that if suckers 
are properly taken off of the base of the tree in your orchard during the first ten years 
cf rapid growth, you will have a grove more or less free from base sprouting. Do not 
be misled by unscrupulous nurserymen who state that their tip layered or transplanted 
filbert trees will grow an orchard free from suckers. It is not true. 
This transplanted filbert tree will produce a fine orchard that will bear the finest 
of filberts. Our trees are well grown in fine sandy loam, rich in fertility, and we can 
assure you of the strongest of root systems obtainable on this sort in both two and three 
year trees. 
Tip layered trees are taken from the mother tree the first or second year, de¬ 
pending upon the root system obtained. We consider that better root growth of highly 
distributed laterals will be obtained if this so called tip layered stock is lined out in the 
nursery row for one or two years. However, we offer these to planters at a great sav¬ 
ing in price owing to the little cost of producing a tree of this sort. Our late price list 
will denote cost of this tree. 
VARIETIES TO PLANT 
After several hundred years of cultivation in England, France, Spain, Italy and 
Sicily there are probably three good commercial sorts to plant today for commercial 
use. Ranking as named in greatness of acreage not now planted, Barcelona, DuChilly and 
Brixnut. These sorts, however, must be pollenized with other sorts of merit to insure 
heavy annual yields as will be denoted under their respective titles. The chief variety 
planted commercially today is no doubt the Barcelona nut and is highly recommended 
by our leading horticulturists as being one of the best nuts for high productivity and 
commercial value. The DuChilly is widely planted particularly in Western Washington 
where they have proven very profitable. The Brixnut is widely planted in Oregon and 
Washington and is rapidly gaining favor with discriminating planters as an immense 
producer of extremely large, highly flavored filbert, since being introduced in 1914. 
Note photographic cuts of nuts for size of this filbert. 
Barcelona 
A large, round nut, fully self husking, rich in flavor, kernel uniform in size, clean 
of pellicle and very prolific when pollenized with about 15 per cent DuChilly, Daviana 
and White Aveline, alternated by setting every third tree in every third row to a pol- 
lenizer. Tree a strong upright grower. 
DuChilly 
A large, long nut, about 50 per cent self husking and balance readily husked by 
machinery or by hand, finest of quality demanding a premium over Barcelona, often 
used as a main commercial crop and bears exceptionally heavy when pollenized with 
Clackamas, Alpha or Gassaway. We strongly recommend the Clackamas used every 
third tree in every third row, or alternated with the other two. Tree is not a strong 
grower and should be planted slightly closer when used as a commercial crop. 
Brixnut 
An immense large, round nut, fully self husking, very rich in flavor, extremely 
clean of pellicle, a very certain producer owing to its late blooming period in February 
and March, by escaping some very unfavorable weather in January, and should be pol¬ 
lenized with every third tree in every third row planted to Halles Giante. 
The “Brixnut" was developed in 1914 near us at McMinnville by C. T. Brixey, a 
pioneer nurseryman. We have kept in close personal observation of this nut and see 
a great future for those who plant this sort. Growers offering Brixnut have received a 
premium of as much as 10c per pound over Barcelona when this nut was first offered 
commercially. At present merchants are willing to pay a premium for this nut, owing 
to the immense size and exceptional quality of the nut. Note photograph for size. 
The Brixnut tree is a very vigorous grower but should be pruned heavily while 
young as it has a strong tendency to come into bearing at a very early age. Nuts should 
be picked off until the fourth year for best success with this sort, as the growth will 
be retarded when left on the young trees. Growers of the Brixnut have formed a very 
active selling organization for this particular nut, receiving a premium over other sorts. 
Anyone planting this nut can join the “Pacific Coast Brixnut Association” at McMinn¬ 
ville, Oregon, and sell their output through this organization at a very small cost to 
them. 
We are certain that the Brixnut will outbear any other standard sort of filbert
