is said that the average for England is 1000 pounds 
per acre, Wn.le most of the better growers get 2000 
pounds and a few record crops have reached 4000 
pounds. 
A Gaston grower grew $50 worth of filberts from 
85 trees the fourth year. A Dallas grower reports 2780 
5. All f.lberts require pollenizers. Never plant a 
single variety alone and expect crops. Barcelona is 
pollnized by DuChilly, Daviana, Nottingham and Mont¬ 
ebello. Brixnut is pollenized by Halls Giant. DuCnilly is 
pollenized by Alpha, Gassoway and Daviana. 
(1. Filberts arc the most attractive orchard crop to 
plant in the northwest. No ether section of America 
can grow them commercially. 
7. In the times of depression prepare for prosper¬ 
ity. Plant now wh le land, labor and trees are down 
in price and be ready to cash in when prices ra.se. 
We believe that in time, when budding techn ; que 
improves to the point where budded trees can be sold 
as cheaply as other types of trees, that this type will 
entirely supplant the other methods of propagation. 
At present we are confining our budding largely to 
the newer varieties such as Brixnut and Cowlitz and sev¬ 
eral other promising varieties that we are not offer¬ 
ing *iie trade this year, and to the propagation of pol¬ 
lenizers, the supply of which has been short in the 
past. Tnis year we offer Alpha, Gassoway, Daviana, 
Nottingham, Halls G ant as well as the Brixnut and 
Cowl tz, on budded roots. 
The grower who is confused by the claims of 
various nurserymen as to the merits of various types of 
propagation, will do well to settle fne matter in his 
own mind by making a comparative planting of the 
various types. Pearcy Bros, nursery recognizes merits 
in each of the various types of trees and offers trees 
of a’l tiiree types to the trade so that it is not neces¬ 
sary for us to build up a nigh powered line of sales 
talk designed to push any particular type of tree and 
to knock all other types. We believe that the budded 
tree makes the best type of tree but it is more expen¬ 
sive as yet, and only the newer varieties of flberts are 
being propagated in this manner to any extent as yet. 
While we believe that the budded tree is superior, at 
the same time we know that fine orchards can be 
deveioped from the other types of trees and it is only 
these other types that are available today in com¬ 
mercial quantities in the Barcelona and DuChilly var¬ 
ieties.
