NUTS 
FILBERTS 
The Filbert industry offers a bright future to the grower, as 
there appears to be no likelihood of over-production for many years 
to come, since at the present time we produce in the United States 
less than 10 per cent of the Filberts consumed here, all the balance 
having to be imported from Southern Europe. 
Prof. Schuster, nut expert at the Oregon Agricultural College, 
says: 
“The Pacific Northwest is the only place in the United 
States where Filberts are grown commercially to any ex¬ 
tent. Here the Filbert thrives. . . . The large, fresh nuts of 
the Pacific Northwest are much superior to the imported 
stock, as the imported stock is nearly a year old when 
received and of inferior quality.” 
Western Washington and Western Oregon are localities espe¬ 
cially adapted to the growing of Filberts in a commercial way. A 
crop failure in these localities has seldom occurred. 
The Filbert is less particular to the location and soil than many 
other nut and fruit trees. It does well on any soil that is fertile, well 
drained, retentive of moisture during summer, and which has suffi¬ 
cient depth. 
Filberts are generally planted 25 feet apart, each way. This re¬ 
quires 70 trees to the acre. 
VARIETIES 
BARCELONA. A large round nut that drops freely from its husk. 
The self-husking feature is a valuable one. Makes a large tree and 
bears early. Proper pollination is essential. DuChilly, Daviana, and 
White Aveline are all good pollenizers for Barcelona. 
DUCHILLY. A leading commercial variety, very popular in 
Western Washington. Very large, long nut of superior quality. In 
some markets commands premium price over Barcelona. Trees not 
so large as Barcelona, but a good bearer. 
DAVIANA. This is a handsome nut of the DuChilly or long type. 
The trees are large, handsome, and of upright growth. Excellent 
pollenizer for both DuChilly and Barcelona. 
WHITE AVELINE. Mostly planted as a pollenizer for Barcelona, 
and for home use. Barcelona also pollenizes White Aveline, so they 
are to be recommended for interplantings. 
Number of Pollenizers Recommended: In Filbert planting, each 
tree should contact a pollenizer, hence in commercial plantings, pol¬ 
lenizers are planted every third tree in every third row.

WALNUTS 
ENGLISH WALNUTS. English Walnuts are prolific bearers on 
the Coast. Having a deep tap root, they should be planted on deep 
soil. 4-6 ft. $1.50; 6-8 ft. $2.00. 
FR/\NQUETTE. Grafted on California Black. Quite large elon¬ 
gated oval, and very attractive. An improved strain of English Wal¬ 
nut, large nuts, big meats, splendid quality. Reliable bearer. 3 to 4 
foot, $1.50 each; 4 to 6 foot, $2.00 each. 
CALIFORNIA BLACK. A rapid grower and very desirable; nut 
medium size, with hard, smooth shell. Adapts itself easily to differ¬ 
ent climates. 4-6 foot, $1.50 each; 6-8 foot, $1.75 each. 
BUTTERNUTS 
BUTTERNUT. A beautifully formed tree bearing a rough coated 
nut of most attractive flavor, well known to the Middle West. Suc¬ 
ceeds fairly well in the Pacific States. 4-6 foot, $1.50 each. 
CHESTNUTS 
AMERICAN SWEET. Makes a handsome shade tree; full medium 
size, sweet and well flavored. 
SPANISH. A valuable species, both for ornamental use and fruit. 
It forms a handsome lawn tree and produces much larger fruit than 
the American variety. 
3-4 foot, $1.50; 4-6 foot, $2.00. 
ALMONDS 
Almond trees are very early bloomers. Care should be exercised 
in planting late blooming varieties. The best locations are on higher 
lands, free of frost and with good air-drainage. Low, wet, cold situ¬ 
ations should be avoided. Almonds grow best in a porous, well 
drained, sandy loam soil. 
Two or more varieties of almonds should be planted together, to 
provide proper pollination. The best pollinating variety is Drake’s 
Seedling, which can be planted with I. X. L. or Nonpareil. 
DRAKE’S SEEDLING. A well known variety and prized for its 
regular and heavy producing qualities. Valued also as a pollenizer. 
Nut medium size, roundish. Shell medium soft, kernel good size. 
I. X. L. One of the standard commercial varieties. Hulls easily. 
Nuts are large and symmetrical; shell soft, smooth; kernel large and 
well filled. Tree a strong, upright grower. 
NONPAREIL. Most popular paper shell variety. Kernel long 
and narrow, and of excellent quality. Tree is a vigorous grower, 
producing heavy crops of large, well-filled nuts.
