The HiccoRY Tree. 



* ■ 



HIS Is ufually a tall Tree, and often grows to a large bulk, the 

 body being from two to three feet in diameter. The leaves are 

 fcrrated, narrower and fliarper pointed than the Walnut, but in manner 

 of growing on footftalks, like it. The nuts are inclofed in like manner 

 with the walnut, with an outer and inner (hell. In OSIober^ at which

 a hammer. The kernel is fweet and well tafted, from which the In- 

 dians draw a wholefome and pleafant oil, ftoring them up for their 

 winter provifion. The Hogs and many wild Animals receive great 

 benefit from them. The wood is coarfe-grained \ yet of much ufe for 

 many things belonging to agriculture. Of the faplings, or young 

 trees, are made the beft hoops for tobacco, rice and tar barrels : 

 and for the fire no wood in the N )rthern parts o^ America is in fo 

 much requeft. The bark is deeply furrowed.

The Pi 



NUT. 



T 



HE branches of this Tree fprcad more, are fmaller, and the 



leaves not fo broad as thofe of the Hiccory ; nor is the bark fo 



wrinkled. The nuts are not above one fourth part fo big as thofe of 

 the Hiccory, having both the inner and outer fliell very thin ; fo that 

 they may eafily be broken with one's fingers. The kernels are fweet j 

 but being fmall, and covered with a very bitter Ikin, makes them 

 ufelefs, except for Squirrels, and other wild Creatures. 



Another Walnut remains to be obferved, which I never faw but 

 in Virginia-, and is there called the white Walnut. The Tree is ufually 

 fmall ; the bark and grain of the wood very v/hite : the nut is about 

 the fize, or rather lefs than the bl^ck Walnut, of an oval form, the 

 outermoft fhell being rough.
