Juglans regia. the Walnut of commerce (X ). Often known as the ' English'' Waluut. nia and it seems now to be common. In fact, it is some- times difficult to distinguish the two species. The Cali- fornian species attains a height of 50 ft., making a broad- topped handsome tree. Commercial Walnut culture is concerned with J. regia, and this culture is practically confined to California. The species is hardy even as far north as parts of New York, and in the Middle and Southern states it often bears well, but its culture is not attempted on a large scale in the East.
