Known commercially as the "English Walnut," or "Madeira ; In America it is known as the " English Walnut," to distinguish it from our native species. In England it is known as " Madeira Nut," probably because the nuts were formerly imported from the Madeira Islands. A native of Asia, it can be grown as far north as New York. The tree is of lofty growth, and produces large, thin-shelled, delicious nuts. A vigorous grower, it fruits young, and as it does not leaf or blossom until late in spring, thereby escapes late frosts. The nuts grow in clusters, and have large, meaty, full kernels of fine flavor ; shell thin. Valuable, i-yr., 35 cts. each, $ per doz. ; 2-yrs., 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. AMERICAN.
