liar in structure, we have indicated the various parts by letters, and 

 would be glad to receive guesses from our readers as to the names of 

 these parts, and the botanical name of the family to which the plant 

 belongs. The bodies designated by a are bright crimson in color ; 

 those at h and d are dull purplish-brown ; while the fringe-like struc- 

 ture at c is pale flesh-color. The left hand figure represents the same

 correct answers to the questions specified above.

 glabra, the butternut, black walnut, and bitternut, mixed in about equal 

 j)roportions.
