For the ¥ 
NORTHWEST 
ee - 
The Pacific Northwest cli- 
mate is ideal for growing of 
Filberts (Improved Hazel- 
nuts). They are productive 
in a wide variety of soils if 
well drained, preferring a 
deep fertile soil. Filberts are 
not a perishable crop, re- 
quire no careful handling or 
cold storage. The nuts ripen 
in September and October 
and drop from the tree. 
They are raked together and 
spread out to dry in a warm 
room. The production of 
filberts in western Washing- 
ton and western Oregon 
should continue to be in- 
creasingly profitable. Plant- 
ings in England over 100 years old are still bearing maximum 
crops. 
Nursery Grown Transplants from Tip Layers or Grafts— 
Branched plants, $1.50 and $2.50; large specimens, from $3.50. 
Quantity prices on application.

main crop trees. Filberts are generally planted 25 feet apart 
each way, or 70 trees to the acre.
