FILBERTS 
Filbert growing is commencing to be one of the biggest industries in the Tualatin and Wil- 
lamette Valley. They have proven to be an exceptionally fine success. Tualatin Valley Nurseries 
have a new planting of their own of 50 acres. There is something over 3500 trees in this planting. 
We only lost about 6 trees out of this large amount. This proves that Tualatin Nursery stock 
will give 100% satisfaction. Many of our large growers have planted as many as a thousand trees 
without any loss on account of the quality trees. Many of the growers plant their orchards at 
various distances ranging all the way from 18 to 25 ft. If you have a deep rich soil, we advise 
planting them a little farther apart. On soils that are shallow and not so rich, it will be satisfac- 
tory to crowd them a little closer. The average orchards are planted 20 feet. This takes 108 
trees to the acre. In planting always remember that you place a pollenizer, one tree to 9. In other 
words you put a pollenizer every third tree in every third row. Use Duchilly and Daviana. 
We advise one Duchilly then have the next pollenizer a Daviana, then a Duchilly again, 
etc. This way you can see that there will be a pollenizer against every one of the Barcelonas. The 
Barcelonas are by far the most profitable as they are heavier producers and are self-husking. The 
Barcelona is a round type nut. The Duchilly,one of the pollenizing variety is oblong nut 
bringing about two cents per pound more on the market. They do not bear quite so heavy and do 
not self-husk themselves. In other words the ccst of harvesting would be more. The Daviana 
is a small round nut but is a wonderful flavored nut, but it is worth less on the market than 
any of the others. We advise to always put in a few as pollenizers anyway. 
Filberts can be grown successfully on most any kind of soil, although the hill soil or any 
soil that is sandy or shot loam, that is well-drained is best. We have known them to grow in 
quite wet places and will do reasonably well but they are much less profitable on that kind of 
ground. They will grow as far north as the Canadian line on the West coast. We have sold 
several small orders east of the mountains in Idahu, Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington, 
Montana and as far as we know they will thrive quite well but may not be quite as profitable 
as on the west coast. Any growers deciding to plant in those districts we would advise not to go 
too heavy but plan only for an acre or two. We are sure that they would not lose by doing so. 
They will also do quite well in northern California where weather is not too hot in the summer. 
. There are also two other varieties of filberts which we grow, as you will notice, they are 
fisted in our catalog. If there is any further information you would like regarding the filbert 
growing, kindly get in touch with us. | iG 
We can safely say that our filbert tree stock is the highest class that you possibly can get 
as to productiveness, health and vigorous growing. Our own orchard of 50 acres will 
easily prove that if you are only in the market for 3 or 4 filbert trees, we believe that you could 
get by, by ordering just one of the pollinizers, either Duchilly or Daviana. These filberts of 
ours are the tip-layered stock. We do not sell the suckered stock which you can buy at lower prices 
sé do not get this confused with our stock. If interested in cheap sucker stock get in touch with 
us as it may be we can secure some from some of the growers that have them but for real success 
insist on Tualatin Valley Nursery tip-layered Filberts. Filbert Prices on Next Page.
