FILBERT or HAZELNUT. This is one of the easiest culture, and among the most profitable and satisfactory nuts to grow ; of dwarf habit; entirely hardy ; abundant yielders ; succeeding almost every- where, and coming into bearing young. Kentish Cob. This is one of the finest and largest of Filberts ; oblong and of excellent quality. 30 cts. each, $3 per dozen. Cosford, Thin Shells. An English variety ; valuable for thinness of shell and sweetness of kernel. 30 cts. each, $3 per dozen. English. The sort usually sold at the fruit stands. 25 cts. each, $ per dozen. JAPAN WALNUT. This species is found growing wild in the mountains of nortliern Japan, and is without doubt as hardy as an oak. The leaves are of immense size, and of a charming shade of green. The nuts, which are produced in extreme abundance, grow in clusters of fifteen or twenty ; have a shell thicker than the English walnut, but not so thick as the black walnut. The meat is sweet; of the very best quality ; flavor like butternut, but less oily, and much superior. The trees grow with great vigor, assuming a very handsome form,' and need no pruning ; mature early ; bear young, and are more regular and productive than the English walnut; having an abundance of fibrous roots it transplants as safely as an apple tree. No tree on my grounds has attracted more attention than the Japan Walnut. 50 cts. each, $4 per d
