First Time Ever Offered 
in America 
Europe until now has alone enjoyed 
a great nut delicacy — large, tasty Fil¬ 
berts. The American wild Filbert has 
lacked size, taste and food value. 
Seven years ago, however, we im¬ 
ported plants that bore abundantly, 
as far North as Riga, Russia, and 
obtained a European nut expert to 
begin experiments here. Success has' 
crowned his efforts and we now offer 
you 
Improved European Filbert 
(Hazel) Nut Trees 
Famous nut experts C. A. Reed, of the U. S. Dept, of 
Agriculture and Dr. R. T. Morris have pronounced 
onr plants wonderful. On the shore of Lake Ontario, 
with temperature last winter of 20 degrees below 
zero, they thrive and bear abundantly. 
Beauty and Profit 
Bushes make a very ornamental shrub with deep green leathery foliage 
in summer and loaded with husks of delicious nuts, which ripen in Sep¬ 
tember here. Plants bear second or third year after planting, and when 
10 years old stand 5 to 7 feet high, and should yield 20 to 25 pounds of 
nuts each. 
All plants offered grown on their own roots, are 2 to 4 feet high, and 
will thrive in any moderately rich, well drained soil with very little culti¬ 
vation. Be the first to grow large Filberts — 
the European kind—on your grounds for 
real pleasure or in orchard for good profit. 
Satisfaction comes either way. Send for 
catalog with full details.
