. The nut culturist : a treatise on the propagation, planting and cultivation of nut-bearing trees and shrubs, adapted to the climate of the United States ... Nuts. THE WALNUT. 247 to revert to the original or tree form. This may not show itself very strongly in the first generation if the nnts are obtained from grafted trees of some age, but in the second and third generation the early-fruiting and dwarf are usually entirely lost. The only certain way of secnring the true variety is by grafting or layering, but it is to be feared that very few trees propagated by these modes are in cultivation, at least in the Eastern States, although nurserymen have been offering Prseparturiens walnut trees in their catalogues during the past fifty years. In one now before me, published in New York city in 1844, trees of this walnut are offered at one dol- lar each, or about what is charged for seedlings at the present time. As nothing is said in- the catalogues about the mode of propagation, we infer that they are seed- lings, as grafted trees would be worth more than one dollar. The nuts of this dwarf walnut are of medium size, thin- shelled and of excellent flavor; valuable for gardens of limited extent. Seeotina. Late Walnut, St. John Walnut.—A very peculiar sort, inasmuch as it is the latest of all to bud and bloom in spring, and yet it pushes forward so rap- idly that the nuts are ripe with others in the fall. They are of medium size (Fig. 98), with a rather hard shell, but the kernel is plump and good flavored. The tree is very productive, and sure to escape late spring frosts. ViLMORlN.—This is claimed to be a hybrid between some variety of J. regia and our native black walnut, J. nigra. Scarcely known outside of France. VouREY.—A new and splendid variety raised near Vourey, a small town in southeast France. It has much. SEKOTINA OR ST.
