THI WALNUT ] 



tal tree for avenues. It has been introduced several 

 times in these Islands, but so far with very little success. 

 The foliage and habit are like those of the common wal- 

 nut, but its growth is said to be more rapid. The timber 

 is of a beautiful violet brown colour, finely veined, is close- 

 grained and heavy, and takes a fine lustre. The satin 

 walnut, or white walnut (juglans cinerea L. North Ame- 

 rica) is another forest tree whose timber is similar to that 

 of the common walnut, but is much more easily worked 

 and takes a better lustre. It is also not liable to the 

 attacks of insects. This tree has not been introduced in 

 these Islands.
