The Butternut 
Juglans cinerea 
The well known butternut of boyhood 
days, which is probably the hardiest of 
our nut trees. 
The Filbert 
Corylus avellana 
The Filbert, or European hazel, forms 
a small, beautiful, fruitful tree. It is very 
hardy. 
We have narrowed our selections 
down to the two that have done best for us. 
BRIXNUT is a very large, round fil¬ 
bert from Oregon. It is a vigorous grower 
and good producer. 
HALL’S GIANT is very similar to 
Brixnut, and a proven pollenizer for same. 
Turkish Tree Hazel 
Corylus columa 
This hazel becomes a large forest tree, 
and thrives under conditions that would 
kill our native hazel. Its nuts are small and 
hard-shelled, but palatable. It never throws 
up suckers from the roots, and makes a 
very desirable stock on which to graft com¬ 
mercial varieties of filbert. 
In Conclusion 
Do not spend money for trees unless 
you love them well enough to plant them 
properly where they will get plenty of - . 
room and sunlight. Give some cultivation 
while they are young. Use no fertilizer the 
first year, but an increasing amount there¬ 
after.

culture you will profit by joining the 
Northern Nut Grower’s Association. Send

You will enjoy the society of the Nut 
Growers. They are people of imagination 
and vision, of sentiment and sense. They 
come from every walk of life but you will 
feel at home among them if your memory 
still treasures the lure of Autumn sun¬ 
light, frosty mornings, and pockets stuffed 
with forest loot—-the Open Sesame to the 
Order of Eternal Boyhood. 
They are conservationists in the best 
sense of the word—the salt of the earth.
