Tlie Filbert is less jiarticiilar to the location and soil than many other nnt and frnit trees. Tt does well 
on any soil tliat is fertile, well drained, retentive of moisture durinp- summer, and which has sufficient 
de])th. Filberts are fi'enerally planted 25 feet apart, each way. This requires 70 trees to the acre. 
The harvestin<>' and care of the filbert nut is a simple matter. The nuts ripen in September and 
October and fall from the tree. The nuts*are then gathered and spread out to dry and season in a warm 
room, which enhances the flavor. The nut is rich in food value, exceptionally healthfid and delicious to 
the taste. No harmful effects result from eating as plentifully as one desires. 
There is little danger of an over-siipply of filberts. The United States imi)orts yearly over 25 million 
pounds of nuts. They are inferior in every respect to our home production as one can easily ascertain by 
eating and comparing the two—the home-grown and the imported. Furthermore, as the nuts become more 
])lentiful the ])er cai)ita consumption will naturally increase. Also, our ])opulation is increasing yearly, 
while the territory in which the filbert can be grown is limited to this Northwest country. 
All in all, filberts offer to the average working man or business man a safe means of investment Avith 
sure, steady return. sy)read out over the years, gaining in volume each year as the crop grows larger. 
Variefies 
BARCELONA —A large round mat that droids free¬ 
ly from its husk. The self-hu.sking feature is a valu¬ 
able one. Makes a large tree and bears early. Proper 
])ollination is essential. DuChilly. Daviana and White 
Aveline are all good ])ollenizers for Barcelona. 
DUCHILLY —A leading commercial variety, very 
popular in Western Washington. Very large, long 
nut of superior qiiality. In some markets command 
premium price over Barcelona. Trees not so large as 
Barcelona but a good bearer. 
DAVIANA —This is a handsome nut of the Du¬ 
Chilly type or long nut. The trees are large, hand¬ 
some and of n))right growth. Excellent ])ollenizer for 
DuChilly and Barcelona. 
WHITE AVELINE —Mostly planted as a ])olleniz- 
er for Barcelona, and for home use. Barcelona also 
pollenizes White Aveline, so they are to be recom¬ 
mended for inter-plantings. 
Note—In filbert plantings, each tree should con¬ 
tact a pollenizer, hence in commercial plantings, ])ol- 
lenizers are planted every third tree in every third 
roAv. We will, Avithout charge, make i)lanting charts, 
shoAvdng locations of itollenizers, for any of our cus¬ 
tomers AA’ho AA’ish to i)lant filbert acreages.
