Filbert Varieties 
Barcelona. The best commercial and 
home variety; introduced and named by 
Felix Gillet. Our plants are therefore 
genuine, being direct from the original 
mother tree. Its value for the grower of 
market nuts lies in its heavy yield, large 
size, good appearance, strong growth and 
disease resistance, The nuts are not re- 
tained in the husks, and are fine quality. 
All drop to the ground over a period of 
three weeks during September. One inch 
broad by %-inch thick. Round or nearly 
so, color brown, bright and handsome. 
Borne singly and in clusters of two to 
six. Must have a pollinator, see below. 
Will bear well in part shade. 
*Nottingham. Probably the best pol- 
linator for Barcelona and DuChilly. Nuts 
are small but good flavor and tree bears 
regularly good crops. Trees of this va- 
riety are lighter grade than Barcelona, 
not being as vigorous a grower. 
*Merville de Bollwiller. A round, point- 
nut of good size and quality, 
*DuChilly. Large, over 1 inch long by 
3/4-inch broad, flattened. Excellent 
quality, good bearer. It pollenizes Bar- 
celona and is pollenized by Barcelona. 
Nottingham and Daviana. Only in 3 to 
4 ft. size this year. 
*These varieties will pollenize Barcelona 
‘and will be sold only in connection with 
Barcelona. 
Purple Leaf Aveline. A beautiful orna- 
mental variety. Believed to be pollinat- 
ed by Daviana. Priced on Page 11.

FILBERTS FROM SEED 
While the filbert does not come true from seed, practically every seedling will produce 
good nuts, but of varying types. Some may be valuable new kinds. Such seedlings 
planted in hedge row, 6 to 10 feet apart, will make a good windbrake or may be used for 
ornamental groupings. Culture: Stratify seed in boxes of sand and when spring plant- 
ing is normal for your district, plant 3 inches deep in well prepared soil. A planting of 

Seedlings to windward of old filbert trees, may greatly aid pollenization. We offer the 
following. and urge early orders:

PLANTING AND CULTURE OF FILBERTS 
METHODS OF POLLENIZING 
(A) Plant solid to Barcelona. After third year top, graft one limb of each tree to 
Nottingham or White Aveline. Then put in grafts scattered through the planting of 
DuChilly, Daviana, White Aveline, Cosford; either several or all, to extent of ten as- 
sorted pollenizers per hundred of Barcelona. We will furnish grafting wood of these 
varieties. 
(B) Use 11% assorted pollenizer trees, indicated by * 
>.) (AD, Qi KP, ie >, SAD, & against varieties listed, scattered through the planting, 
to every hundred Barcelona. (See diagram at leit.) 
ak Sx Xe LX Every third tree in every third row planted to a pollina- 
tor is 11% and each pollinator is surrounded by eight 
Barcelona. This method cuts down the number of Bar-

by first plan, or a combination of A and B.

they are shallow rooted. Best results are obtained on

satisfactory. For windbreaks or hedge-rows, 6 to 10 feet.
