Gardening. CORYLUS COSMIDIUM 383 The nuts should not be gathered until ripe, a condition indicated by the browning of the edges of the husk. If left until fully ripe, many of the nuts will rattle out and be lost. The highest prices are obtained for freshly gathered nuts in the husks. To prevent husks from molding, they should be well dried or slightly sulphured. Hazelnuts may he held for considerable periods in tight Teceptacles, as casks or jars, by sprinkling salt over them and storing them in a cool, dry place, or in a refriger- «.ted compartment. Few insects trouble the European Hazelnuts in America, the nut weevil of Europe, Balaninua nucum, not having yet been naturalized. B. nasiciis sometimes â¢does considerable injury to the native species. Nuts and Filberts are terms loosely used abroad, espe- â cially in England, to designate certain rather indefinite forms of C. Avellana and C. maxima. In general, such varieties as have husks shorter than their fruits are termed Nuts, while such as have husks as long as or longer than their fruits are designated Filberts. But few varieties are known in America, most of the Hazels grown being seedlings from imported nuts. Va- rieties of G. Avellana and O. maxima are not, clearly â¢distinguishable, but in general those with husks longer iihan the nuts are assigned to G, 'maxima, and those with â short husks to O. Avellana.
