It has a flavor with a tart apricot tang; a wonderful fruit 
canned. Shy bearer in some localities; planting with Hun- 
garian recommended. 
Date Prune—Coats 1418, Imp. French. Larger than the stand- 
ard French prune; excellent for drying; reddish purple, juicy, 
very sweet. 
“DEMARIS” EARLY ITALIAN 
One of the leading commercial varieties, due to its early ripen- 
ing period, which is approximately two weeks in advance of the 
common Italian prune. 
The fruit resembles the common or regular Italian prune in 
color, size and shape. Trees have the same habit of growth and 
are identical in appearance. 
The Lafayette Nursery Co. are pioneer growers of this variety, 
having placed thousands of the trees on the market each year 
since this fruit became established. 
French—The old type of fine texture sweet, red prune. 
for drying. Medium size. 
Hungarian—Large size with beautiful bright red; a good fresh 
market fruit but not suitable for drying. A pollenizer for the 
Burton prune. 
Italian—Medium to large in size, oval, dark purple, sweet and 
delicious; the standard for drying and shipping. September. 
Noble—A new variety planted commercially near Eugene, Ore- 
gon. The extreme size and deliciousness of flavor promises 
recognition as one of the leading commercial prunes. Com- 
mands premium prices. Excellent for drying. 
Silver Prune—Large size and sweet; a good dryer, but ripens 
rather late for the northern climate. 
Sugar—Large early sweet prune ripening in August. Color very 
similar to Improved French, covering to purple. 
NUT TREES 
ALMONDS 
The Almond is one of the leading market nuts and quite 
extensively grown, with favorable results, throughout the North- 
west. Trees grow rapidly and are hardy. 
Drake Seedling—Strong grower and heavy bearer. Valued as a 
fertilizing variety. Sweet, short kernel. Soft shell. 
I. X. L.—A vigorous grower; nuts large, thin shelled. 
Nonpariel—Nut sweet, very thin shell; good home variety. 
Ne Plus Ultra—tLarge and very long; soft shell; hulls freely; tree 
heavy and excellent bearer. 
Texas Prolific—Resembles very closely the Drake Seedling. 
Highly valued to plant with other varieties as a pollenizer. Vig- 
orous grower and regular cropper. 
CHESTNUTS 
Varieties: Large American Sweet, Spanish, Italian. 
Chestnut trees are very hardy, and are productive of good 
results over a wide range of territory. Make good shade trees 
and as well nut crop. Plant two varieties for best results. 
FILBERTS 
Next to the Soft Shelled Grated Walnuts, Filberts lead as a 
commercial nut crop. One tree is required for a pollenizer in the 
center of a planting of nine. Until recently it was generally con- 
sidered that Filberts were to be confined, as a crop, to the area 
west of the Cascade Range. The trees are resistant to WINTER 
INJURY, and should prove profitable over a wider area. We ship 
heavy rooted tip layered plants. 
BARCELONA—The leading commercial variety. Large nut, 
plump, moderately rounded in shape. A splendid yielder when 
properly pollenized. Du Chilly and Daviana have proven best 
as pollenizers for Barcelona. 
Du Chilly—Another popular nut but not as heavy producer as the 
Barcelona. Large, long, well filled shell. Generally commands 
a price premium in the market. Pollenizer. 
Daviana—Rounding nut somewhat smaller than the Barcelona. 
We recommend it as a pollenizer in connection with the Barce- 
lona and Du Chilly for complete pollenizing of all varieties. 
HICKORY NUTS 
Large Shell Bark—One of the leading native nuts in the Eastern 
states. Slow growing but very fine as upright ornamental trees. 
Nut meats unexcelled for quality. 
Ideal 
WALNUTS 
Franquette—The leading commercial walnut grown today. It is 
a large oblong pointed nut. Hulls out easily. Well filled and 
of fine flavor. The nut that is used in all commercial plant- 
ings. It is adaptable for curb planting in cities, making a won- 
derful shade tree as well as bearing a heavy crop of fine nuts. 
Improved Blacks— (Stabler, Thomas.)——These are improved 
black walnuts, the nuts being larger than the common black, 
larger kernels, more easily cracked out. These varieties will 
do much better in cold climates than the English walnut. Meats 
come out in halves. Not available until fall of 1946. 
California Black Walnut—An exceptionally hardy, rapid growing 
variety adapted to most any climatic condition. Very valuable 
as a shade or ornamental tree. 
PECANS 
Schley—Thin shelled, medium to large. Rich flavor, good grower. 
Has few equals as a market nut. 
Success—Soft shelled, proific, sef-fruitful, heavy bearer. Large 
size. One of the old standards. 
Burkett—One of the largest thin-shelled varieties. The whole 
meat comes out readily. Heavy producer.
