grown in the real filbert country. Propagated 
by Dell Fitzgerald of Washougal, Wash. 
The Woodford, grown by E. W. Wood¬ 
ford of Forest Grove, is a smaller nut of the 
same type. It is liked best of all by some, as 
it fills its shell so well, perhaps though, 
because it has been grown in better soil. 
It bears as well or better than the Barcelona 
with a Barcelona orchard and pollinizers. 
Not propagated as yet, it certainly would 
be an addition to our present Barcelona 
groves as it is a proved pollinizer for the 
Barcelona. Another is the Rice, under obser¬ 
vation, first found in the grove belonging 
to Superintendent Rice of the Portland 
schools. Another is the Grant, grown near 
Vancouver. Besides these our filbert breeder, 
Mr. Brixey of Brooks, has two or three 
varieties of the same type as those we 
have described. 
The Royal Filbert 
The value of all of these nuts in our eyes 
is that they are all of the same type and 
could be grown together and sold together, 
besides being outstanding in size and quality. 
The filbert as grown in the Northwest is 
better than anything else the world supplies 
but these new nuts wall make the product 
here so outstanding that the contrast 
between the little imported nuts and ours 
will be very great. They will also put the 
filbert on a higher plane in the nut market. 
Experiments have been conducted the 
past year to find pollinizers for each of these 
and work will be continued until everything 
is known about their pollination that 
should be known.
