Filberts and Walnuts are very profitable nut crops of the Paeific Coast. Plant a nut orchard and 
reap golden profits in a veiy few short years. Our nut trees are grown from record bearing; strains 
budded to the type of root system best suited to your area. Nuts are a heavy bearing, non-perish¬ 
able crop. 
FILBERT 
Culture is Profitable Enterprise on this Coast 
The following facts and suggestions are earnestly offered to prospective planters of Filbert Trees, 
and as a successful guide to producing a profitable grove. 
Ideal soil and climatic conditions found in certain parts of Oregon, Washington, California and 
British Columbia have proven to be exceedingly well adapted to the culture of Filberts. Many 
groves in these areas planted in the last ten to thirty years have proven very profitable as com¬ 
mercial investments for their owners. Regular bearing habits and heavy yields make them favorable 
to plant. They enjoy an amazingly strong market position, placing them at the top as a farm crop. 
Young groves at five years old produce a paying crop. Reported yields of 25 to 30 lbs. on 8 year 
trees, 30 to 40 lbs. on 10 year trees, 60 lbs. on 15 year, and as much as 100 lbs. and more on 25 year 
old trees, would positively indicate that they are paying profits far in excess of ordinary farm crops. 
The filbert industry is young and future possibilities are immense. This growing horticultural 
enterprise is past the stage of experimentation. Definite methods of planting, pruning, cultivation, 
harvesting and marketing, have been successfully developed. Consumption of filberts in the United 
States in the past few years has made rapid strides and today is consuming more than 30 million 
pounds annually and which amount is mostly imported, showing a great field for expansion of the 
filbert industry on this coast. The metropolitan centers of the East and Middle West have tasted our 
Western grown nuts in the last few years and brokers from those sections flood our nut marketing 
organizations with early orders to insure securing a highly flavored filbert for their trade. The 
quality of the Western grown filbert is far superior to the foreign filbert imported chiefly from 
Sicily, England, France and Italy. European competitors are compelled to pay 5 cents to 10 cents 
per pound tariff. Their new crop does not reach us in time to catch our holiday season and is often 
stale and rancid on arrival. Rapid growing co-operative nut selling organizations in Oregon and 
Washington are ready to take care of your crop. 
Filberts are used by large manufacturing industries in cakes, cookies, candies, bread and ice 
cream, as well as sold daily as a healthful food to an ever increasing appetite of the nut consuming 
American. They are a healthy nut, rich in flavor, easy to crack, clean, readily digested and high in 
food value.
