THE WALJ^UT. 233 Trees grow to an immense size, with deeply furrowed bark; wood dark colored, valuable f^r cabinet work, inside finishing, gun stocks, etc. Common in deep, rich soils, from western Massachusetts west to southern Min- nesota, and southward to Florida. Most abundant west of the Alleghany mountains, and especially in the rich valleys of the Western States distant from railroads and water communication; elsewhere the trees have long since been cut for their timber. I have only one synonym to record, and this is scarcely worthy of notice, viz. : WaUia nigra. (Alefeld in " Bonplandia," 1861.) Varieties of the Black Walnut.—As with the butternut, there are no varieties of the black walnut in cultivation; at least, none propagated by means which will insure the perpetuation of their varietal char- acteristics. It is true that there are plenty of wild vari- eties to be found, these varying widely in size and form, and somewhat in thickness of their shell, as well as the ease with which the kernels may be extracted, but none of these have been perpetuated by artificial means. Among the earliest varieties recognized by botanists, one was called Oblong Black Walnut, Juglans nigra oblonga, by Miller, 1754, and perhaps in earlier editions of the "Gardener's ; He says this is from Virginia, and only a variety of the common black wal- nut. Marshal], in 1785, describes this "black oblong fruited walnut," and adds : "There are, perhaps, some other ; These oblong, or, more correctly speaking, oval nuts, often sharp-pointed at both PIG. 82.
