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 windbreak 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:

Sixty whip trees one-half and allow one strong shoot to grow to six feet where it 
may be headed. Branched trees cut back to 3 or 4 branches and head in 
hranches to 3 buds from trunk. Encourage growth to one central leader, 
which is Nature’s way. DON’T TRAIN TO VASE FORM, as trees will split 
apart with weight of the crop, Shade trunk for first few years with Tree 
Protectors (see page 4) or two thin boards.

fits of cross-pollination and to lengthen out the harvest season. Our Quercy
