. : os 6 FILBERTS—For a long while I turned up my nose at filberts but I had 
a few trees. At last the handsome way they grow won my attention. 
Picking up the nuts won my affection. Eating them confirmed it; and now I’m 
an enthusiast starting a test orchard and selling the proved standard varieties. 
Try some. They are intimate yard trees and very good screens. 
Barcelona is the heavy bearer and Du Chilly and several others are pollena- 
tors. You must have both. Please order Barcelona and pollenator. One pollenator 
to half a dozen Barcelonas is all right. Two are better. Plant six feet apart for a 
screen, fifteen to twenty feet apart in the open. 
7 HAZEL NUT. This is a hardy plant. Very satisfactory to grow and an 
gees, early bearer. Winkler variety is native to Iowa—very hardy. Filberts will 
ae pollenate it, so will wild hazel pollenator. Hazel will not pollenate filbert.
