ycu will have a grove more or less free from base sprouting. Do not be misled by un¬ 
scrupulous 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 
fi'berts. Our trees are well grown in fine sandy loam, iich 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, depend¬ 
ing upon the root system obtained. We consider that better root growth of highly dis¬ 
tributed 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 d^ote cost of this tree. Many of the present profitable groves of filberts on the 
Paei? c Jslope were planted with TIP LAYERED TREES AND TRANSPLANTED NUR¬ 
SERY GROWN STOCK. This type of tree will produce a fine orchard and will adapt 
itself to most any kind of soil. 
THE EXCELLENT ROOT SYSTEM OBTAINED ON OUR TREES FROM THE 
RICH RIVER SILT SOIL OF OUR TUALATIN NURSERIES IS FAR SUPERIOR 
TO THE ORDINARY FILBERT TREE OFFERED. 
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. Rank¬ 
ing as named in greatness of acreage now planted, Barcelona, DuChilly and Brixnut. 
These sorts, however, must be pollenized with other sorts of merit to insure heavy an¬ 
nual 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 pollen- 
Izer. Tree a strong, upright grower. Most widely planted of all filberts now grown. 
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 Gassoway. 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 pollenized 
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 of 
equal age and we offer the following estimated production for Brixnut trees, taking our
