TnO BlaCIk Walnut,

The Black Walnut, is one of the most
valuable of our native trees. 1t is a
rapid grower, and attains height of
sixty to ninety feet. The largest black
walnut tree in the country is said to be
growing ut Roslyn, Long Island, on
tho estatc Of the late lamcntcd Lo,t w :.
=. Eryant. 1t grew from seed in the
year 17l3. Itis twenty-five feet around
1t, three feet from the ground. At the
height of about fifteen ieet, the trunk
divides into several large branches,
ana spreads out into Il large head, COW
crlng space OF a hundred and fifty
feet IN diameter. Usually, in the for
est, or where these trees grow together
III groups, the trunn is a single column
to the height of thirty to fifty feet,
without branches. Although the black
walnut Is found to II limited extent III
almost every section Of the country, il
Is only In tho valley Of the Mississippi
ana Its tributaries that it becomes a
prominent feature of forest scenery.
FROM Ohi0, westward to Colorado, it Is
one Of the most important; or, at least.
such was its rank before the native for
ests were lcyclcd. At present It, Is
comparativc'y scarce In the States cas-
Of the Mississippi, and, at the rate it is
now disappearing, another quarter Of a
century ut most will exhaust the suDply
Tor mechanical purposes. In view of
the great value of this tree for its tim
per, the beauty and elegance OF which
for cabinet and other fine work it is so
we'll known, and understanding the
absolute certainty OF its high price IN
the market Of the next generation, 1t
Will be an act Of only ordinary pru-
dcncc, FOR those properly situated to dc
30, to plant it. AS II nut, tho fruit OF
he Black Walnut is Of little value. A..
III ough its peculiar flavor is enjoyed by
some.
