NUT TREES 
ALMONDS | 
Two or more varieties of almonds must be planted together in 
the right combinations to secure successful pollination. Good 
combinations are Nonpareil and Texas Prolific; also Nonpareil 
and |.X.L. 
ALMOND VARIETIES 
1.X.L. A beautiful large, shapely nut; one of the most attrac- 
tive in appearance. Shell is soft, kernel sweet, of good quality. 
Tree strong grower. 
Nonpareil. The nut is medium size, with very thin ‘’paper- 
shell’’. The kernel is long, plump, sweet and of high quality. Tree 
a good cropper and strong grower. 
Texas Prolific. A popular variety. Rather small, hard shelled 
nut. Regular producer and large yields. Tree rather upright 
grower, an excellent pollenizer. 
BUTTERNUTS (White Walnut) 
Butternuts are a beautiful growing tree which yield large rough 
shelled nuts. The kernels are white, full-meated and oily. The 
flavor delicious, rich and sweet. 
ENGLISH WALNUTS. 
Throughout the fruit districts of central and eastern Wash- 
ington are many fine English walnut trees which yield large crops 
of choice nuts. They are z 
beautiful trees for the home 
grounds or garden and the 
nuts are always useful and 
appreciated. 

For Pacific Northwest con- 
ditions we offer the more 
hardy, dependable varieties 
which are late blooming and 
self-pollenizing. Walnuts de- 
velop to large spreading trees 
and should be planted 40 
feet apart. They develop deep 
growing tap roots and should be planted in deep soil free from 
hard pan. Or if some hard pan is present it should be thoroughly 
broken up. 
Types of English Walnut Trees. English walnut trees are 
propagated by grafting and also from selected seed. The grafted 
trees are more difficult to grow and command higher prices. 
From selected first generation seeds—which are seeds taken from 
grafted trees — excellent trees are produced which reproduce 
practically true to type and are somewhat less expensive than 
grafted trees.

BLACK WALNUTS 
Besides producing a food crop, the black walnut is one of the 
most stately shade trees. The foliage is beautiful green through- 
out spring and summer; colors beautiful golden brown in autumn. 
The improved new varieties of black walnut have commercial 
possibilities. The native black walnut grows naturally from 
Canada to Florida and from Maine to the Rocky Mountains— 
and on about all types of soils and locations. 
The improved black walnuts come into early bearing from the 
standpoint of nut trees, have the hardiness of the original native 
black walnut, and having thinner shells and whole meats, can be 
more easily cracked and the meats removed in halves and wholes. 
Should be planted 40 to 50 feet apart. 
American Black Walnut. A beautiful and stately shade and 
ornamental tree. Grows everywhere. Very hardy. 
Stabler Black Walnut. Originated in Maryland. Medium size, 
one of the finest black walnuts and one of the best of all in 
cracking quality. Kernels can easily be removed in halves and 
this variety runs quite a few one-lobed nuts from which kernel 
can be removed in one piece. Tree early bearing, prolific pro- 
ducer. Extremely hardy. 
Thomas Black Walnut. Originated in Pennsylvania. One of 
the finest black walnuts yet introduced. Nuts large, kernels 
large, very good quality. Kernels come out in halves similar to 
English walnut. Distinctive walnut flavor. Tree fast, upright 
grower. Bears heavily in five years. Extremely hardy. 
FILBERTS 
Western Washington and Western Oregon are especially 
adapted to the commercial growing of filberts. A crop failure 
in these localities has seldom occurred. 
Prof. Schuster, nut expert at the Oregon Agricultural College, 
says: ‘’The Pacific Northwest is the only place in the United 
States where filberts are grown commercially to any extent. Here 
the filbert thrives. .. . The large, fresh nuts of the Pacific North- 
west are much superior to the imported stock, as the imported 
stock is nearly a year old when received and of inferior quality.”” 
The filbert is less particular as to the location and soil than 
many other nut and fruit trees. It does well on any soil that is 
fertile, well drained, retentive of moisture during summer, and 
which has sufficient depth. 
Filberts are generally planted 25 feet apart, each way. This 
requires 70 trees to the acre. Pollenizer should contact each 
tree. In commercial plantings, pollenizers are planted every third 
tree in every third row. 

Barcelona Filbert Tree Seventh Year. 
Upper: DuChilly Filbert nut. Lower: Barcelona nut. 
(About two-thirds natural size.) 
Barcelona. A large round nut that drops freely from its husk. 
The self-husking feature is a valuable one. Makes a large tree 
and bears early. Proper pollination is essential. DuChilly, Davi- 
ana, and White Aveline are all good pollenizers for Barcelona. 
DuChilly. A leading commercial variety, very popular in West- 
ern Washington. Very large, long nut of superior quality. In 
some markets commands premium price over Barcelona. Trees 
more upright growing, not so large as Barcelona, but good bearer. 
Daviana. Excellent nut of the DuChilly or long type. The 
trees are large, handsome, and of upright growth. Excellent 
pollenizer for both DuChilly and Barcelona. 
White Aveline. Mostly planted as a pollenizer for Barcelona, 
and for home use. Barcelona also pollenizes White Aveline, so 
they are to be recommended for interplantings.
