. 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. MISCELLANEOUS NUTS. 277 been extensively used as food, from the earliest times down to the present day. Nearly all the ancient authors refer to them as among the valuable products of the countrj. Macrobius, in his story of the Saturnalia, speaks of the cones as Nuces vel Poma Pinea. These pine nuts are called PinoccM in Italy and Sicily, and occasionally a few reach this country, where the Italian name has been corrupted into Pinolas. These seeds or nuts are used for desserts, puddings and cakes, also eaten raw at table, as with almonds. They have a slight taste of turpentine, but it is not strong enough to be at all disagreeable. In this country we have several na- tive species bearing very large edible seeds, and they are known in the West under the general name of Pition, or nut pines. The best of these nuts, to my taste, are the seeds of Pinus edulis, so named by the late Dr. Engelmann, because of its large, sweet and edible seeds. It is a small, low-growing tree, more or less common on dry hills and slopes, from Colorado southward through New Mexico, and into western Texas. The seeds of Pinus Parry ana and Pinus cem- broides, of Arizona and Lower California, are also called Piflons, and largely gathered by the Indians. Farther. FIG. 104.
