A.-Lead the dear man 10 a set OF
encyclopedias. have him look up
the reference 10 butter nuts and
then Brazil nuts. and he will find
they are two distinct species OF
nuts. The butter nut is a native of
America, and flourishes from New
Brunswick to Georgia. and west
ward TO Dakota and Arkansas. The
Brazil nut is largely exported from
Para and from ports OF French Gut
ana. The trees cover extensive
tracts in Northern Brazil and are
especially abundant along the ANA
zon and Orinoco rivers.
The chief difference between the
nuts Is that the butter nut is round.
while the Brazil nut Is oblong and
three-cornered. The covering of the
former is smooth and yellow. while
the latter is rough and brown. They
both have very hard shells.
