ROM our little experimental nursery we are presenting to our customers a very limited list from 
= the stocks of the best varieties available of nuts and some of the more difficult fruits to propagate. 
We are sold out of a large number of items and list here only a few that we still have in some 
quantity. Trees are dug as ordered instead of being packed from a storage house. This means that 
the fine rootlets, which are important to trees that are hard to transport, will reach the customer ready 
to grow. However, we may have'some delay in getting orders dug and packed due particularly to 
weather.

In the northwest some of our plant breeders have brought out new 
filberts that exceed in size and quality anything the world has seen 
before. These filberts are due to take their place in our markets and 
give the American grower superiority in the filbert market just as 
our new apple varieties have given the apple grower a big lead on all 
foreign apples. 
These new filberts are being planted with the old standard Barce- 
lona to give that variety a better and more complete pollination 
ath every year. Some growers are planting nothing but the large nuts 
Barcelona Filberts in their new plantings. 
The Oregon College of Agriculture and C. E. Schuster, the federal 
nut man, advocate planting three varieties for Barcelona pollination. 
However, three will not cover the period of Barcelona blooming and 
it takes some earlier and later varieties to cover the complete period. 
So our recommendation is to add some of the larger varieties. 
These larger varieties are bringing the highest prices paid in the 
filbert market. 
Unscrupulous sellers of nursery stock are still selling stock 
with but one pollinizer. The only way we can level off our crops 
and get good crops every year is by a complete common sense pollina- 
tion over the whole period. 
We have but a few of the larger nuts this year but are 
working into them as fast as we can. Growers should get into these 
and keep up with the procession. These big nuts are bringing prem- Scherf Filberts 
ium prices. Write for prices on quantities.
