No Better Crop for Mountain Lands or Foothills— 
FILBERT VARIETIES 
Barcelona. The best commercial and home variety; 
introduced and named by Felix Gillet. Our p'ants 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 retained in the husks, and are fine quality. All 
drop to the ground over a period of three weeks 
during September. One inch broad by 34-inch thick. 
Round or nearly so, color brown, bright and hand- 
some. Borne singly and in clusters of two to six. 
Must have a pollinator, see below. Will bear well in 
part shade, 
Purple Leaf Aveline. A beautiful ornamental va- 
riety. Believed to be pollinated by Daviana. Priced 
on Page 11. 
DuChilly. Large, over 1 inch long by 34 inch broad, 
flattened. Excellent quality, good bearer. It pollen- 
izes Barcelona and is pollenized by Barcelona, Not- 
tingham and Daviana. 
*Nottingham, Probably the best polinator for Bar- 
ecelona and DuChilly. Nuts are small but good flavor 
and tree bears regularly good crops. Trees of this 
variety are lighter grade than Barcelona, not being 
as vigorous a grower. 
*These varieties will pollenize Barcelona and will 
be sold only in connection with Barcelona.

CULTURE OF CHESTNUT 
planted. Set stake while planting to avoid driving it into roots. Cut back 
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 
branches 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. 
Cross-Pollination—More than one variety should be planted, both for bene- 
fits of cross-pollination and to lengthen out the harvest season. Our Quercy 
and French Marron varieties have an abundance of pollen.
