Its early bearing anil handsome dwarf habit make it desirable for the home grounds. FILBERTS. These, frequently termed hazlenuts, are of the easiest culture, and are among the most profitable and satisfac- tory nuts to grow ; of dwarf habit, entirely hardy ; abun- dant yielders, succeeding almost everywhere, and coming into bearing early, as they do, with their rich, toothsome meat, they are worthy of being planted by everybody who \,has room. Kentish Cob. One of the largest and finest of the Filberts, oblong, meaty, and of excellent quality. (See cut.) Common Kng- lish Filbert. The sort usually sold in the fruit § stores ; quite dis- tinct in shape from tiie Kentish Cob, as may be observed fro m the cut, and in English. our opinion not quite so desirable. PECANS. (Carva olivteformis.\ This nut is well known and highly prized by all ; is of the easiest culture—the tree being of sturdy, lofty growth. From the fact of its being found in the forests of the South and West many suppose it is not hardy at the North, which is entirely erroneous ; it flourishes over a wide extent of the country, and should be more generally cultivated, as it deserves. The shell is very thin, the kernel sweet and delicious. Our trees are of the true, large, thin- shelled variety. Any one can enjoy this nut who will plant a few trees in some spare corner. WALNUTS. The wood of the Walnut, once so abundant, is now so valuable and in such great demand that large numbers of trees are being planted for this purpose alone, and the \j investments will prove profitable. Plant your wood-lots With young Walnuts ; they will pay you for the trouble. T
