LARGE FRUITED (A Bijoux; Double; French; De Jauge; A 

 Trc's Gros Fruit). Nuts, very large, two or three times larger than 

 the common walnut, and somewhat square or oblong in shape. The 

 kernel is small for the size of the nut, and does not nearly fill the shell. 

 It requires to be eaten when fresh, as it very soon becomes rancid. 



The shell of this variety is used by the jewellers for jewel-cases, and 

 is frequently fitted up with ladies' embroidering instruments. 



LATE (Tardif ; Saint Jean). The leaves and flowers are not 

 developed till near the end of June, after all danger from frost has 

 passed. The nuts are of medium size, roundish, and well filled, but 

 they do not keep long. The tree is very productive, and is repro- 

 duced from the seed. 



A Mesange. See Thin Shelled. 

 Praeparturiens. See Dwarf Prolific. 

 Precocious. See Dwarf Prolific. 

 St. Jean. See Late.

THIN SHELLED (A Coque Tendre; A Mesange). Nuts, oblong, 

 with a tender shell, and well filled. 

 This is the best of all the varieties. 



A Tres Gros Fruit. See Large Fruited. 



YORKSHIRE. This is of large size, but not so large as the Large 

 Fruited. It fills and ripens well.
