IlIK JAMES KINEK WALNUT TREE. 



Professor C S Sargent of the Arnold Arboretum, Boston, called this the most remarkable 

 tree in the eastern United States. Vigor is its most marked characteristic— note its 

 size in comparison with the horse and buggy underneath. There is good reason to believe 

 that it is a hybrid, and Mr. Bisset finds strong evidence to show that it isa cross between 

 the common butternut and the Persian or so-called English Walnut. (Figure 1.)
