Injustice, ignorance and lust, the in
QUESTION yet would serve the law, and
guilIotines decide our least disputes.

The butternut or white walnut is a
native Of the United States. They are
trees of wide spreading branches and
usually from forty to fifty feet In
height. with trunks two feet or more
in diameter. 1t is a valuable timber

furniture and inside house finishing.
The inner bark was formerly used for
making a yellow dye. and as a medi-

can remain out Of doors until the

The best soil to start rose cuttings
in is either sharp sand or a little leaf

Weak growing roses that do not

NATIVE FRUIT AND NUT TREES.

The American persimmon tree Will
thrive and ripen its fruit as far north
as the Great Lakes. The fruit Is de-
licious when permitted to ripen on the
tree.
Grown under favorable conditions
this tree attains d height OF sixty fee'
with a trunk eighteen inches or more
in diameter. but under ordinary cir
cumstances 1t does not exceed half
these dimensions. The p%ersimmon Is
an interesting and attractive tree and
IL recommended where an uncommon
tree Ia desired.
Northern grown pecan trees are
hardy in the north: that is. over
practically all OF New York state, ex-
cept possibly In the extreme north
eastern part, and they are also hardy
in parts OF New England, as there are
several large pecan trees in Connecti-
cut. The pecan attains a size Of three
feet or more in diameter. and in form
somewhat resembles an oak. though
not so spreading in character. Bear

The cultivation Of this tree Is not
very well understood. liberal fertiliza-
ton is required to obtain good crops.
Planting OF pecan trees in the North
or in any locality whore their success
has not been demonstrated should be
experimental Set out only trees native
in the y nth. They will live and make
beautiful shade trees, but whether a
crop OF nuts a be produced remains
to be seen. The experiment will be
interesting. and II good crops OF nuts
can be produced It will be a source OF
lasting pleasure and profit. This tree
has a long tap root like the hickory
and should have a very deep hole made
in planting. so as TO get the long root
in the ground without cramping It.
