Original Barcelona Tree—Over 63 Years 
Old Still Producing on Our Grounds 
Filbert Varieties 
Barcelona. The best commercial vari¬ 
ety; introduced and named by Felix Gil- 
let. Our plants are therefore genuine, 
being direct from the original mother 
tree. Its value for the grower of market 
nuts lies in its heavy yield, large size, 
good appearance, strong growth and 
disease resistance. The nuts are not re¬ 
tained in the husks. All drop to the 
ground over a period of three weeks 
during September. One inch broad by 
3/4-inch thick. Round or nearly so, 
color brown, bright and handsome. 
Borne singly and in clusters of two to 
six. Will bear well in part shade. 
‘DuChilly. Large, over 1 inch long by 
3/4-inch broad, flattened. Excellent 
quality, good bearer. It pollenizes Bar¬ 
celona and is pollenized by Barcelona, 
Nottingham and Daviana. 
‘Daviana. Nut large, roundish oblong, 
excellent quality. One of the best pol- 
lenizers for Barcelona and DuChilly. 
‘White Aveline. Medium size, fair bear¬ 
er. Quality very high. Fine pollenizer. 
Noce Lunghe. The largest of all. One 
inch long by 7/8-inch wide. Good qual¬ 
ity, fair bearer. Said to be pollenized by 
Nottingham. 4 yr. Bushy plants only for 
1937; $1.00 each. 
Purple Leaf Aveline. A beautiful orna¬ 
mental variety. 75c to $1.75 each. 
‘Nottingham. Probably the best pol¬ 
linator for Barcelona and DuChilly. Trees 
of this variety are lighter grade than 
Barcelona. 75c each. 
‘These varieties will pollenize Barcelona 
and will be sold only in connection with 
Barcelona.

PLANTING AND CULTURE OF FILBERTS 
DISTANCE APART TO PLANT 
On good soils, plant 20 to 25 feet apart. On poorer soil 16 to 18 feet. Either square 
or triangular planting is satisfactory. For windbreaks or hedge-rows, 6 to 10 feet 
apart. 
To find number of plants required per acre, divide 43,560 by number of square feet 
each plant occupies. EXAMPLE: 20x20 square, 400 sq. ft. Dividing 43,560 by 400 
gives 109, which is number of trees per acre when each tree stands at corners of a 
square. Planted at three points of an equilateral triangle, takes 15% more trees. 
FOR GOOD CROPS 
Plant our original strain BARCELONA trees with proper pollenizers as indicated 
elsewhere. 
FOR GOOD GROWTH 
Plant carefully with root-crown not over 3 inches below surface, 
irrigating. 
Leave basin for 
FOR GOOD HEALTH 
Mix one-half to one pound BONE MEAL with soil that goes about the roots. Later 
Apply $4 to pound, according to size of tree, of Nitrate of Soda or Sulphate of 
Ammonia, in two applications. First, as buds are starting; second. 3 weeks later. 
Hoe in or scatter over root area. 
FOR SAFETY 
Shade stem of your tree with YUCCA TREE PROTECTORS (see page 16 for prices) 
or by two thin boards. V fashion, southwest side. 
FOR GOOD CULTIVATION 
Irrigate ip basin directly over roots the first two years and cultivate regularly. 
Plant early in spring as possible. Plant cover crops suitable to your location. (See 
your County Agent about same.) 
SOILS FOR FILBERTS 
They will grow in most any soil, shallow or deep, as they are shallow rooted. Best 
results are obtained on soils that are not heavily acid, but a slight acidity is not 
harmful. Use the TESKIT, a valuable outfit for testing soils for acidity or alkalin¬ 
ity. $2.00 POSTPAID. 
WHY TRANSPLANTED LAYER PLANTS ARE BEST 
Perpetuation of a species by layers is a natural method. LAYER GROWTHS 
ARE TRUE TO VARIETY FROM ROOT TO TOP and if anything happens to the 
top the root-crown will soon replace the damage by new sprouts. Graftage practiced 
on seedings subjects the graft to all the weaknesses of the root and the danger of 
worthless type sprouts from below the graft union. European growers with the 
experience of centuries use only layered Filbert trees; groves 250 years old are still 
producing nuts in Italy. OUR ORIGINAL STRAIN OF TRANSPLANTED TIME 
TESTED BARCELONA FROM LAYERS IS BEST FOR YOUR PLANTING.
