WALN UTS. 



V 



A Bijoux. See Large Fruited. 



COMMON. The common walnut being raised from seeds, there 

 are a great number of varieties, varying in size, flavour, thickness of 

 the shell, and fertility. To secure a variety of a certain character, it 

 must be perpetuated by grafting in the same way as varieties of other 

 fruit trees are propagated. 



A Coque Tendre. See Thin Shelled. 

 Double. See Large Fruited. 



DWARF PROLIFIC (Early Bearing; Fertile; Praparturiem ; 

 Precocious). This is a dwarf-growing, early-bearing variety, which I 

 have seen produce fruit when not more than two and a half to three 

 feet high ; and a tree in my possession bore abundant crops of good- 

 sized and well-flavoured fruit when not more than six feet high. 



This variety reproduces itself from seed.
