THE FRUIT TREE 
SITUATION 
Fruit trees are in short supply this year. 
This is particularly so with two year old trees. 
The destructive freeze in the East two winters 
ago destroyed great acreages of orchards and 
at the same time almost cleaned out many of 
the Eastern nurseries. As a result the East 
drained out the surplus stocks from the North¬ 
west last year and are after them again this 
year. We are marking with ** those varieties 
that we have any quantity of in two year old 
stock. We have a few two year trees in some 
other varieties. A good yearling whip, how¬ 
ever, is almost as far ahead as a two year tree, 
for the shock of transplanting is less.

Nectarines 
Filberts 
Tip-layered Filbert Trees: — Many of the fin¬ 
est orchards are of tip-layered trees. Thtese 
have a lighter root than the transplanted types 
but if planted according to our instructions 
they will give excellent results and their price 
is low. We can supply Barcelona with Du- 
Chilly and Daviana pollenizers in this class of 
tree. 
The Nectarine tree looks like a peach tree . 
and the pit is like a peach pit. The sTaii^ 
however, is smooth, like that of a plum. The 
flesh is rich and smooth and has a flavor all 
its own. A most delicious fruit that it little 
known here, but which will thrive wherever 
the peach thrives. Every home planting 
should have a Nectarine tree. 
Stanwick — Leading Nectarine variety. 
Prices: Same as for Peach trees. 
Shiro — Medium size, yellow skin. Pro¬ 
ductive. 
Santa Rosa—Purplish-red with amber col¬ 
ored flesh. In our opinion probably the best 
plum for local conditions. Quality high.

Ripens late August. Good quality. 
Satsuma—Red skin and flesh. Fine flavor. 
Productive when planted with Burbank or 
other varieties. 
Blue Damson—Small, ..blue ..skinned used 
largely for jam and preserves. 
^"Lombard—Large, purplish-blue skin with 
yellow flesh. Productive. 
Hungarian — Large, late. Purplish red. Fair 
quality. 
Prunes 
Apricots 
Peaches will thrive all thru the region West 
of the Cascades. Plant on well drained land 
and spray twice each winter for best results. 
In sections where there is any question as to 
hardiness plant Rochester, Mayflower and 
Triumph for a long season of hardy varieties.

year older than the tip-layered types, being 
tip-layers that have been carried an additional 
year in the nursery rows. We advise Barce¬ 
lona as a main crop with DuChilly and Da- 
vinia as pollenizers. If DuChilly is used as 
main crop use Gassoway and Clackamas as 
pollenizers.

Walnut Pollenizers 
During favorable seasons the Franquette 
walnut sets a full crop without the aid of a 
pollenizer but during adverse seasons the crop 
mav be greatly increased by pollemzmg with a 
late blooming variety such as Late Meylan or 
Kin* Franquette. One pollenizer per acre is 
enough. In large plantings we advise using 
both the above pollenizers.
