Flowers of 
The Filbert 
Upper, pistillate. 
Lower, staminate. 
At Nevada City, Calif., these Fil¬ 
bert Trees, produce well on this 
ledge. 
Blooming habits of the Fil¬ 
bert are unlike fruit trees, 
in that after blooming the 
tree continues dormant. Un¬ 
til May, four months after 
blooming only are the nuts 
visible, being protected from 
killing frosts within the pis¬ 
tillate bud. 
Filbert Varieties 
Barcelona. The best commercial vari¬ 
ety; introduced and named by Felix Gil- 
let. Our plants are therefore genuine, 
being direct from the original mother 
tree. Its value for the grower of market 
nuts lies in its heavy yield, large size, 
good appearance, strong growth and 
disease resistance. The nuts are not re¬ 
tained in the husks. All drop to the 
ground over a period of three weeks 
during September. One inch broad by 
3/4-inch thick. Round or nearly so, 
color brown, bright and handsome. 
Borne singly and in clusters of two to 
six. Will bear well in part shade. 
*DuChilly. Large, over 1 inch long by 
3/4-inch broad, flattened. Excellent 
quality, good bearer. It pollenizes Bar¬ 
celona and is pollenized by Barcelona, 
Nottingham and Daviana. 
‘Daviana. Nut large, roundish oblong, 
excellent quality. One of the best pol- 
lenizers for Barcelona and DuChilly. 
‘White Aveline. Medium size, fair bear¬ 
er. Quality very high. Fine pollenizer. 
Noce Lunghe. The largest of all. One 
inch long by 7/8-inch wide. Good qual¬ 
ity, fair bearer. Said to be pollenized by 
Nottingham. Large 5 yr. bushy plants. 
$2.00' each. 
Purple Leaf Aveline. A beautiful orna¬ 
mental variety. 75c to $2.50 each. 
‘Nottingham. Probably the best pol¬ 
linator for Barcelona and DuChilly. Nuts 
are small but good flavor and tree bears 
regularly good crops. Trees of this va¬ 
riety are lighter grade than Barcelona. 
Prices on Nottingham are 15c higher 
than the list. 
‘These varieties will pollenize Barcelona 
and will be sold only in connection with 
Barcelona. 
PLANTING AND CULTURE OF FILBERTS 
METHODS OF POLLENIZING 
(A) Plant solid to Barcelona. After third year top, graft one limb of each tree to 
Nottingham or White Aveline. Then put in grafts scattered through the planting of 
DuChilly, Daviana, White Aveline, Cosford; either several or all, to extent of ten as¬ 
sorted pollenizers per hundred of Barcelona. We will furnish grafting wood of these 
varieties. 
(B) Use 11% assorted pollenizers scattered through the planting, as shown above, 
to every hundred Barcelona. Every third tree in every third row planted to a pollinator 
is 11%. This method cuts down the number of Barcelona trees per acre and yield will 
probably be less than by first plan. 
(C) Is a combination of the two methods. Experience has shown, that it is best not 
to depend on any v one pollenizer. Owing to the peculiar blooming habits of the filbert, 
a known good pollenizer will fail one year and act favorably the next. This is particu¬ 
larly true in some districts. Therefore, we advise the planting of several pollinating 
varieties in every commercial planting. 
DISTANCE APART TO PLANT 
On good soils, plant 20 to 25 feet apart. On poorer soil, 16 to 18 feet. Either square 
or triangular planting is satisfactory. For windbreaks or hedge-rows, 6 to 10 feet. 
FOR GOOD GROWTH 
Plant carefully with root-crown not over 3 inches below surface. Leave basin for 
irrigating. 
FOR GOOD HEALTH 
Mix one-half to one pound BONE MEAL with soil that goes about the roots. Later 
Apply 54 to Yi pound, according to size of tree, of Nitrate of Soda or Sulphate of 
Ammonia, in two applications. First, as buds are starting; second, 3 weeks later. 
Hoe in or scatter over root area. 
FOR SAFETY 
Shade stem of your tree with YUCCA TREE PROTECTORS (see page 16 for prices) 
or by two thin boards, V fashion, southwest side. 
FOR GOOD CULTIVATION 
Irrigate in basin directly over roots the first two years and cultivate regularly. 
Plant early in spring as possible. Plant cover crops suitable to your location. (See 
your County Agent about same.) 
SOILS FOR FILBERTS 
They will grow in most any soil, shallow or deep, as they are shallow rooted. Best 
results are obtained on soils that are not heavily acid, but a slight acidity is not 
harmful. 
WHY TRANSPLANTED LAYER PLANTS ARE BEST 
Perpetuation of a species by layers is a natural method. LAYER GROWTHS ARE 
TRUE TO VARIETY FROM ROOT TO TOP and if anything happens to the top the 
root-crown will soon replace the damage by new sprouts. Graftage practiced on seed- 
ings subjects the graft to all the weaknesses of the root and the danger of worthless 
type sprouts from below the graft union. OUR ORIGINAL STRAIN OF TRANS¬ 
PLANTED TIME-TESTED BARCELONA FROM LAYERS IS BEST FOR YOUR 
PLANTING.
