  "As 
  there 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  difference

  opinion 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  identity 
  of 
  'Juglans 
  

   mandshurica'

  you 
  be 
  so 
  kind 
  as 
  to 
  answer 
  the 
  following 
  questions 
  for 
  the

  Q. 
  1 
  What 
  type 
  of 
  nut 
  do 
  you 
  consider 
  the 
  "Juglans 
  mandshurica" 
  to 
  be? 
  

   J. 
  H. 
  Black, 
  Hightstown, 
  N. 
  J.: 
  Probably 
  a 
  Juglans 
  Regia 
  Manchuria. 
  

   T. 
  E 
  Steele, 
  Palmyra, 
  N. 
  J.: 
  No 
  resemblance 
  to 
  Persian 
  walnut 
  but 
  

   very 
  similar 
  to 
  butternut, 
  a 
  little 
  longer 
  and 
  thicker 
  than 
  butternut 
  and 
  

   of 
  little 
  better 
  quality. 
  

  

  Luther 
  Burbank. 
  Santa 
  Rosa, 
  Cal.: 
  Xigi-a. 
  or 
  the 
  connecting 
  link 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  butternut, 
  eastern 
  black 
  walnut 
  and 
  a 
  trace 
  of 
  Sieboldi 
  especially 
  

   in 
  foliage. 
  

  

  H. 
  E. 
  Van 
  Deman, 
  Washington, 
  D. 
  C: 
  It 
  is 
  almost 
  identical 
  with 
  J. 
  Sie- 
  

   boldiana. 
  

   J. 
  M. 
  Thorburn 
  & 
  Co., 
  33 
  Barclay 
  St., 
  N. 
  Y. 
  City.: 
  Our 
  idea 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  

  

  t 
  

  

  is 
  that 
  it 
  resembles 
  very 
  closely 
  in 
  size, 
  form 
  and 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  shell 
  the 
  

   English 
  walnut 
  or 
  Juglans 
  regia. 
  though 
  the 
  shell 
  is 
  thicker 
  and 
  the 
  

   quality 
  of 
  the 
  kernel 
  has 
  not 
  the 
  pleasant 
  flavor 
  of 
  the 
  Juglans 
  regia. 
  

  

  Q 
  2 
  Does 
  it 
  resemble 
  the 
  Pei'sian 
  walnut 
  or 
  the 
  buttermit? 
  

   J. 
  S. 
  Black: 
  Persian. 
  

   T. 
  E. 
  Steele: 
  (See 
  Q. 
  1). 
  

  

  Luther 
  Burbank: 
  (Does 
  it 
  resemble 
  the 
  Persian 
  walnut 
  — 
  ) 
  Xo. 
  ( 
  — 
  or 
  

   the 
  butternut?) 
  Very 
  much 
  in 
  nut 
  but 
  less 
  elongated 
  and 
  not 
  pointed. 
  

   Ve7-y 
  thick 
  shell.
