Nilghiri strawberry. 



This vigorous and hardy strawberry was introduced from Cliina under 

 the direction of M. Maurice de Vilmorin and is remarkable for its 

 tufted habit, hairy foliage, its small white flowers, and especially for its 

 small, insipid, white, hairy fruits. (Adapted from Journal Soci^t^

52681. Juglans intermedia vilmoeeana Carr. Juglandaceae. Walnut. 

 A tree 80 feet high, possibly a hybrid between the European and 



American black walnut, with branches more upright than those of the 

 European walnut, grayish bark, and bronze-colored young shoots. The 

 buds are inclosed in fleshy, hairy scales. The fruit is intermediate 

 between that of the two parents. The slightly coriaceous smooth dark- 

 green ovate leaflets remain on the branches until killed by frost. The 

 fruit is not produced every year, and never in large quantities; it is 

 smooth and the nut is more deeply furrowed than that of the European 

 species. The seed germinates well and produces plants resejubling the 

 parent. (Adapted from Garden and Forest, vol. Jf, p. 52.)
