A SIXTEEN- YEAR-OLD 

 "ROYAL" WALNUT 



At sixteen years of age, the new 

 "Royal" Walnut trees were sixty feet 

 in height and as much in breadth of 

 branches the trunk being two feet in 

 diameter at eight feet from the ground. 

 Meantime English walnuts on the oppo- 

 site side of the street averaged only 

 eight or nine inches in diameter, and 

 had a spread of branches only about 

 one -quarter that of the youthful 

 "Royal." This variety originated from 

 a cross of Juglans Nigra and Juglans 

 California.
