However, she does not supply all the nation consumes; a large tonnage is still imported from abroad. There is every reason to believe that the culture of these two nuts will increase with the years, and that in the not far distant future we shall be growing in large commercial quantities filberts, pistachc nuts, pecans and other varieties. The geo- graphical distribution of almonds and walnuts covers nearly all regions of the state; the coastal counties and the interior valleys, the mountain plateaus and the foothills of Northern, Central and Southern California. During the years of exploita- tion and development of California nut culture, the Fancher Creek Nurseries have not only carried on research work in the selection of profitable varieties, but have maintained nut orchards and tested out those sorts that have proven to be good bearers of quality nuts. Having accomplished this, we have grown only dependable trees of recognized commercial varieties. THE ALMOND Soils and situations.
