JUGLANDEZ. 
JUGLANS REGIA. 
Loudon, v. 3, 1423. 
A Walnut tree, planted im: the early paragar 
1814, near the north east front of this house, to 
commemorate the birth of my brother Hanmer* 
now measures only four feet, one inch round, at 
the height of three feet. Some others however, 
planted a few years later by my father, in the 
back yard of his house at Mildenhall, have grown 
to a much greater size... The chalky Sole 
Mildenhall appears to suit the Walnut, and there 
were many fine ones in the parish; but the winter 
of 1860-61 either killed or severely injured nearly 
all of them, young and old. The bark of the trunk 
in trees of fifty years old and upward, is compara- 
tively almost smooth, whereas that of Juglans 
nigra at a much less age, becomes remarkably 
rugged. 
JUGLANS NIGRA. 
Loudon, v. 3. 1436, 
Several planted by my father in the arboretum 
and about the grounds, have grown very well. 
It is a very handsome tree, and my father notes 
that he found it to grow faster, and to attaina 
given height in a shorter time than the common 
Walnut.
