FILBERTS 
Filbert growing is commencing to be one of the bigg2st industries in the Willamette Valley. Many of our large growers have 
planted as many as a thousand trees without any !oss on account of the qualitv trees. Many of the growers plant their orchards at 
various distances ranging all the way from 18 to 25 feet. 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 satisfactory 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 Bar- 
celonas. 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 an oblong nut bringing about two cents per pound more on the 
market. They do not bear quite so heavily and do not self-husk themselves. In other words the cost 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 prorit- 
able 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 Idaho, 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 heavily 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.
