Improved Filberts 
(Hazel Nuts) 
Europe until now has alone 
enjoyed a great nut delicacy 
—large, tasty Filberts. The 
American wild Filbert has 
lacked size, taste and food 
value. 
Eight years ago, however, 
we imported 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. We now offer you 
FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT 
Hardy, Well-Developed Plants 
of the finest improved varieties. On the shore ff- 
of Lake Ontario with winter temperature fifteen 
to twenty degrees below zero, they thrive and 
bear abundantly. 
BEAUTY and PROFIT 
Bushes make a very ornamental shrub with deep green and leathery foliage 
in Summer and loaded with husks of delicious nuts, which ripen in September 
here. Plants bear second or third year after planting, and when 10 years 
old stand 6 to 8 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 cultivation. Be 
the first to grow large Filberts—the Euro¬ 
pean kind—on your grounds for real pleas¬ 
ure or in orchard for good profit. Satisfac¬ 
tion comes either way. Send for catalogue 
illustrated in colors with full details.
