FILBERTS 
• Filberts are improved varieties of the 
old hazelnut which grows wild up and 
down the Pacific Coast. Filberts are 
adapted to many sections in northern 
California and along the coast. They 
are immune to frost in this state, and 
growers in frosty locations often find 
this nut ideally suited to their condi¬ 
tions. The trees bear at an early age. 
Cross pollination is one of the most im¬ 
portant problems in connection with fil¬ 
bert culture, and more than one variety 
must be planted.

Write for prices on larger quantities. 
Barcelona. By far the best variety, and 
80% of all plantings should consist of 
Barcelona. Nut medium to large, rich 
brown in color. Shell medium thick, 
kernel sweet and excellent. One of the 
heaviest producers. 
Daviana. A very light producer, but an 
excellent pollinizer for Barcelona and 
Du Chilly. Tree an upright grower. 
Du Chilly. A large nut with medium 
thick shell, and excellent quality. A 
good pollinizer for Barcelona and of 
medium production. Second only to 
Barcelona in desirability. 
White Aveline. A light producer which 
is grown for its pollinizing value. The 
tree is low growing. 
CHESTNUTS 
• Chestnut trees are well adapted to 
our coastal valleys, as well as to the 
Stockton area, where there are a num¬ 
ber of thriving orchards. Chestnuts 
bloom very late, are never injured by 
frost, and are therefore especially valu¬ 
able for frosty locations. They grow 
into large, spreading trees and should 
be planted about 40 feet apart. Always 
plant two or more varieties to provide 
cross-pollination. 
Budded Chestnuts 
Price Each 
3 to 4 ft. grade. $1.75 
Large American Sweet. Produces very 
large, attractive nuts, uniform in size. 
Tree bears early; is strong and vigor¬ 
ous growing. Should be planted with 
Quercy to insure cross-pollination and 
a good crop. 
Quercy. A French Marron of large, 
uniform size. Nut is round and glossy, 
tree sturdy and an exceptionally heavy 
producer when planted with Large 
American Sweet for cross-pollination. 
...PECANS 
• Pecans are well adapted to the warm- 
er sections of California. They require 
a deep rich soil, with ample moisture 
and good drainage. The large, thin- 
shelled, budded varieties, which are noiv 
propagated exclusively, are far superior 
to the seedlings of a few years ago. 
Price Each 
4 to 6 ft. grade. $2.00 
Burkett. Nut large, almost round, thin 
shelled. The tree is vigorous and a 
heavy cropper in California. Plant Suc¬ 
cess with it as a pollinizer. 
Caloro. One of the most handsome oi 
the pecan trees. It grows tall and slen¬ 
der, with beautiful, large foliage, and 
is one of the best fruiters for the in¬ 
terior valleys. The nut is very large, 
thin shelled, long and tapering. Cracks 
and shells easier than other varieties. 
Does not require cross-pollination, thus 
is adapted to home planting, as well as 
commercial orchards. 
Success. The most widely planted va¬ 
riety in California. Nut large and ob¬ 
long. Shell medium thin, parting freely 
from the kernel, which is plump and of 
fine quality. One of the best for the 
home orchard. Self-fruitful.
