The elements of forestry : designed to afford information concerning the planting and care of forest trees for ornament or profit and giving suggestions upon the creation and care of woodlands with the view of securing the greatest benefit for the longest time, particularly adapted to the wants and conditions of the United States. Forests and forestry. The Hickoeies. (Genus Carya). 1098. These occur uative only in North America, although fossil species are found in Europe. About ten living species are known in the United States and Mexico. The wood of the hickories is generally heavy, hard, close-grained, and re- markably strong and elastic. As a fuel they rank higher than any other of our native woods. 1099. The Pecan-Nut (Carya olivcBformis). This is 144. The Walnut-YoniiB Leaves Blossoms, found growing to the height of sixty to seventy feet along the country bordering the Mississippi and the lower Ohio, from Iowa southward to Louisiana, and westward in Indian Territory. The wood is coarse-grained,hard,strong, and durable, but not so val- uable as that of some other species. The fruit of the pecan is considered as one of the best of the hickories, and occasionally a tree is found upon which it is ex- ceptionally fine. There can be no doubt but that these could be greatly improved by cultivation, and that the finer varieties could be grafted upon other species, and grown with much profit. 1100. The Bitter HiCK- OEY (Carya amara). This species occurs from New England and New York, and southward into the Carolinas, where it is occasion- ally found from the coast to the mountains. It grows best in a cool. 145.
