NUT TREES 
FILBERTS' 

oa 
Barcelona produced from trees in our garden 
Filberts are easy to grow and will succeed wherever it is possible to grow peaches. 
The trees bear very young. Often nuts are produced the first year after planting. 
The trees do not grow large. Fully grown trees compare in size with a peach or 
plum tree. Trees in our small planting have been free from disease and have 
required no spraying. Filberts sucker freely and these must be cut out from the 
base of tree or a bush will result. Nuts are large from named varieties and have 
the best cracking quality of any nut. ‘The kernel comes easily from the shell and 
is very tasty and of high food value. The kinds we have grown have been very 
productive and ripen their crop early before there is any danger of frosts. We 
recommend planting only named varieties as seedlings vary so much in productive- 
ness and vigor that their value is questionable. It is a good plan to cultivate or 
mulch the trees each year. 
IMPORTANT: Filberts will set few if any nuts when planted alone. Plant more 
than one variety to insure proper pollination. 
We recommend planting two Barcelona and one of the other kinds listed. Reason: 
In our own planting, Barcelona has yielded about twice as many nuts, the tree 
grows larger and is better shaped. 
BARCELONA. Nut very large, round, fine flavored. Tree very vigorous. Very productive. Nuts 
drop easily from husk. An important commercial variety in large plantings in Oregon. Ripens 
in early September. Much hardier than a peach. After 20 degrees below zero during winter of 
1943 we harvested a nice crop of nuts this year. 
DUCHILLY (Kentish Cob). Nut is large and long. Tree is upright in habit of growth and vigor- 
ous. Very productive. Nut cracks easily and very fine in quality. Ripens along with Barcelona. 
DAVIANA. Nut medium to large. An excellent pollenizer for Barcelona. Tree smaller and slower 
growing than other kinds. Nuts excellent in quality. Ripens early September. 
Prices: 2 yr. transplants, 4 to 5 feet, each $1.85; 3 for $5.15; 6 for $9.00. 
Plant a few Nut Trees in the garden or along the fence this year.
