We were shown this week nam
moth walnut, grown in the garden of
John Cuneo, near Pine Grove. Ii
measured six inches in circumference
one way and Sc inches the other, more
than twice the bulk of the average wal
nut. 1t was taken from tree that was
nursed in the agricultural station years
ago from an imported variety. The tree
bears liberal crop each season, the
fruit in quality is equal to that of the
choicest variety. The kernel, however,
is not so large as the outer shell would
indicate, the nut does not fill the shell
as completely as in the common walnut.
But making due allowance for this,
the nut is materially larger than the or
binary kind.
