The Walnut of history is Juglans regia (Fig. -7011), a native of southeastern Europe and re- gions beyond. Etymologically, the word Walnut signi- fies a nut that comes from a foreign source. It is inter- esting to note that in this country Juglans regia is known as English Walnut, apparently because the im- ported nuts are likely to reach us by way of England. In eastern North America, the word Walnut usually applies to the native Juglans nigra (Figs. 2710, 1193), although it sometimes, but erroneously, designates the large-fruited hickories. A related species, the butter- nut (J. cinerea, Figs. 2711, 1194) is sometimes called White Walnut. The Black Walnut (J. nigra) is often planted on roadsides and about yards, but it is scarcely a horticultural product yet. A very similar species in California is Juglans C'alifornica (Fig. 2712), which makes a fine large tree and often bears excellent nuts. The eastern J. nigra was early introduced into Califor- 2709.
