the Franquette was introduced and had proven 
its worth, for nearly all curb plantings in the 
cities of the Northwest are now planted to 
Franquette walnuts trees. We have them in 
large sizes for curb plantings. 
No pollenizer need in small lots. 
FRANQUETTE, Second Generation Walnut 
—In the second generation, or seedlings, an 
excellent nut is produced from these trees; 
grown from first generation nuts selected from 
choice Franquette grafted trees. We find that 
east of the Cascade mountains, they prove har¬ 
dier and seedlings usually differ, resulting no 
doubt in better cross pollenation and a better 
yield where more than one are planted. 
Priced same as Grafted Franquette. See 
price list. 
New Varieties of Whole Meated 
Grafted Black Walnuts 
THOMAS NUT —Very large, thin shelled, ex¬ 
cellent flavor, easy to crack for whole meats. 
Tree is very fast grower and early bearer. 
STABLER NUT —Large, thin shell, excellent 
cracker, kernel sweet and rich. A very prolific 
bearer of whole and half meated nuts. These 
black walnuts will thrive where any black w'al- 
nut will grow. It will pay to plant these to 
otherwise unproductive land. The timber will 
be valuable in years to come and very good 
market for the nuts. 
Although walnuts are self-fertile and will 
bear good crops, it has been demonstrated 
lately and pretty well known by experienced 
planters, that certain pollenizers do help con¬ 
siderably in heavier yields. Under the present 
strain of economic conditions we must be 
assured of good to heavy crop yearly. 
The variety most highly recommended 
around Dundee and Newberg, Oregon, is the 
late Maylon. It has been top grafted a good 
many years for this purpose, used about 1 to 
20 trees. It is a large, round nut, deep veined 
and thin shelled. The scion wood for grafting 
is very hard to get so we can supply only one 
Maylon to 20 Franquette trees, as we have not 
enough to go around. Used in commercial 
orchards only. 
NOTE—If interested in commercial plant¬ 
ings in either filberts or walnuts, ask for our 
planting guide on nut trees. 
ALMONDS 
Two or more varieties of almonds must be 
planted together, in the right combination, to 
secure successful pollination. Good combina¬ 
tions are Nonpareil and Drake or Texas, Non¬ 
pareil and Ne Plus Ultra, Ne Plus Ultra and 
I. X. L. 
Painstaking care and attention are paid in 
selecting the bud and scion wood from only 
trees proven as to productiveness, size, type, 
color, and texture of fruit. 
See inside cover before placing order. 
GRAFTED CHESTNUTS 
HARDY COMMERCIAL SORTS — Large 
American Sweet, Colossal, Progress, Fuller, 
Chinese Hairy Chestnut. These sorts fall “free 
from the burr’’ and bear exceptionally heavy 
crops at an early age. They produce an aver¬ 
age of 200 pounds in 8 to 9 years. 
SEEDLING CHESTNUTS 
Bear heavy crops. American Sweet, Spanish 
and Italian. Make an excellent shade tree.

FILBERTS 
Filberts in the Northwest offer fine oppor¬ 
tunities for the grower. We grow the finest 
filberts in the world. We are able to market 
them fresh before the holidays while the im¬ 
ported nuts that come into our holiday market 
are from the crop of the previous year. We 
import 15 to 25 million dollars’ worth of filberts 
each year. 
Although filberts do best in moist mild cli¬ 
mate such as ours in the Pacific Northwest, 
they are pretty much planted in most sections 
of the United States. They showed best re¬ 
turns in the worst part of the depression of 
any orchard crop that we know of. 
Submit wants for larger lots than herein 
quoted, and ask for nut catalog. 
Varieties 
DUCHILLY —A large, long nut, about 50 per 
cent self husking; balance readily husked by 
machinery or by hand. Finest of quality, de¬ 
manding a premium over Barcelona and often 
used as a main crop variety, when pollenized 
with Clackamas, Alpha or Gasaway. 
BARCELONA —The Barcelona far out-ranks 
any other variety still planted, in point of acre¬ 
age. It is a large, round nut, fully self-husking, 
rich in flavor, uniform in size, clean in pellicle 
and very prolific. Tree is a strong upright 
grower and to the best of our knowledge is still 
the best commercial variety to plant. 
DAYIANA —The most reliable pollinator for 
the Barcelona. It blossoms when the nut blos¬ 
soms of the Barcelona are in fullest bloom. A 
fast and high grower. Very fine long nuts but 
a shy bearer. For reliable bearing the Daviana 
must be planted with the Barcelona to pollin¬ 
ate the latter. 
PURPLE AYELINE —A pui’ple leaved vari¬ 
ety planted for its beauty. It also bears good 
crops of nuts. A deep purple colored tree in 
the spring. 
NOTTINGHAM —A heavy bearer of medium 
sized fine quality nuts. This tree is a standard 
for Barcelona pollination though not much 
used as yet. 
In planting filberts we usually use about one 
pollinating tree to six or eight Barcelonas. 
Barcelona are usually planted 8 to 2 DuChilly 
with other kinds for cross pollination. If left 
to us we will proportion properly. 
We grow the following and can supply them 
in limited quantities: Alpha, Nottingham, Gas¬ 
away, Montebello, Kentish Cob, and English 
Cluster, but only along with commercial filbert 
orders as pollenizers. 
In planting just three or four trees, third 
kind is not necessary with Barcelona and Du¬ 
Chilly. 
NEW: GRAFTED OR 
BUDDED FILBERT TREES 
The only way Brixnut can be propagated, 
therefore the higher price—20c extra per tree. 
The BRIXNUT FILBERT together with its 
pollenizer the Hall’s Giant, form a combination 
of exceptional merit. In quality of meat, thin-
