142 WALNUT. 



Juglans nigra, the black Walnut, is a tree of large size ; 

 its fruit is known to be excellent. 



Juglans olivceformis, Pecan, or Illinois nut, is delicious. 

 The nuts of Juglans sulcata, which is called thick shell bark, 

 Hickory, and Springfield, and Gloucester nut, are large and 

 well-tasted. The shell bark Hickory, shag bark, or scaly 

 bark Hickory, Juglans alba, is so called on account of its 

 bark, which is torn lengthwise in long loose strips, as in J. 

 sulcata. The Juglans toi*mentosa, the Mucker nut, white 

 heart Hickory, or common Hickory, and most of the other 

 kinds enumerated, are worth preserving; or cultivating 

 where there is none, for its timber for mechanical purposes ; 

 and that of the Juglans glabra, or Hog nut, is useful for 

 brooms, &c.
