FILBERT AND HAZEL BUSHES 
These plants are quite 
hardy and will succeed 
anywhere the English Wal¬ 
nut will or possibly farther 
north. The principal com¬ 
mercial planting of the fil¬ 
bert to date has been in 
Oregon and Washington. 
These plants are doing very 
well here in our nursery and 
the small plants we ship out 
usually have a nice sprink¬ 
ling of nuts on. For those 
who want quick returns and 
plants that do not take up 
as much room as the larger 
growing trees it is well worth 
considering this species of 
the nut bearing trees. The 
filberts also make an excel¬ 
lent screen hedge when 
planted 6 ft. apart in the 
row. The filberts will bear 
but a few nuts when planted 
alone. Plant more than one 
variety for cross polliniza- 
tion purposes. We have 
selected just a few of the 
best varieties of filberts 
which can be counted upon 
to bear the finest nuts. 
BARCELONA. This is the leading commercial sort being planted in 
Oregon and Washington where it bears very large crops. Although it blooms 
early here, Barcelona is one of the best croppers we have. It blooms over 
a long period and needs two or three pollinators for the best results. 
W'HITE AVELINE. This variety has so many good points it should be 
in all collections. Nut medium size, fair bearer. Quality excellent. Fine 
pollinizer. 
Du CHILLY. Tree more upright in growth. Nut large and long. Ex¬ 
cellent quality and good bearer. 
DAYIANA. Nut medium to large, roundish oblong, excellent quality. 
One of the best pollinizers for Barcelona. 
ITALIAN RED. This is another tall slender growing plant. Nuts more 
the shape of DuChilly and very attractive. 
RUSH. This is a native hazel of good quality. The nut is not as large 
and attractive as the European filberts and the hybrid hazels. This bush is 
very hardy and does well outside of the usual filbert sections.
