FILBERT AND HAZEL BUSHES 
These plants are 
quite hardy and will 
succeed anywhere 
the English Walnut 
will or possibly far¬ 
ther north. The prin¬ 
cipal commercial 
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 sprinkling of 
nuts on. For those i 
who want quick re¬ 
turns and plants 
that do not take up 
as much room as the | 
larger growing trees 
it is well worth con- Aveline Barcelona DuChilly 
sidering this species 
of the nut bearing trees. The filberts also make an excellent 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 pollinization pur¬ 
poses. 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. 
WHITE 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. 
DAVIANA. Nut medium to large, roundish oblong, excellent quality. 
One of the best pollinizers for Barcelona. 
ITALIAN REI). This is another tall slender growing plant. Nuts more 
the shape of DuChilly and very attractive. 
PURPLE LEAF. This is a variety bearing a small to medium sized nut, 
but being planted for its ornamental effect. In the early growing season the 
leaves are a deep purple shade. 
JONES HYBRID. This new strain of filbert combines the hardiness 
of the American hazel with the reliable fruiting quality of the European fil¬ 
bert. Nuts are as large as the largest European varieties we are growing. 
We are propagating bushes only of the best sorts.
