Highflyer. An English variety that has a reputation for ripening two 

 or three weeks earlier than the other sorts. Nuts of a good size, and 

 kernels well flavoured. Tree strong in habit and a free bearer. 



Ltirgr-frnite'l (Double French). A strong variety with very large Nuts, 

 which are often more than twice the size of the common Walnut. The 

 kernel is, however, small in comparison to the size of the Nuts, and does 

 not nearly fill the shells. It is pleasantly flavoured when eaten fresh, 

 but when kept long it becomes rancid and bitter. Tree robust and bears 

 fireely. Not a very desirable variety. 



Late (Tardif, .SV. Jean). This variety starts into growth very late in" 

 the season, a useful quality in districts where the frosts are troublesome 

 when the spring is advanced. Nuts of medium size, well filled, and 

 kernels of good quality. The Nuts, however, do not keep well, and 

 must be used quickly. Tree vigorous and very productive. This kind 

 has the reputation of coming true from seed, but will sometimes produce 

 plants differing from the parent.
