Juglans Sieboldiana, Maximowicz. 



Throughout Japan, where it forms a large tree. To this species is 

 ascribed, by Mr. P. G. Bixford, a tree now much grown in California ; 

 the leaves are very large ; the nuts are produced early, regularly and 

 in abundance, from 15 to 20 often clustered together, have a shell 

 not so thick as that of the Black Walnut ; the kernel is in taste like 

 that of the Butternut, but less oily [R. J. Turnbull ; L. Burbankj. 



Juglans stenocarpa, Maximowicz. 



From the Amoor-territory. Allied to J. Mandschurica. 



Juniperus Bermudiana, Hermann.* 



The Pencil-Cedar of Bermuda and Barbadoes, occurring also in 

 Jamaica (there up to 6,000 feet), the Bahamas and Antigua. This 

 species grows sometimes to 90 feet high, and furnishes a valuable red 

 durable wood, used for boat-building, furniture and particularly pencils, 

 also for hammer-shanks of pianofortes, on account of its pleasant odor 

 and special fitness. It is almost the only native timber of Bermuda. 

 Planks of 32 inches width have been obtained [Lieut-General Sir J. 

 H. Lefroy]. The tree will thrive in the poorest soil, for instance, 

 coral-sand, and has a very great power to resist storms on account 

 of the deeply penetrating roots, which may reach to 30 feet. In 

 South- Africa it thrives well, growing twice as fast as J. Virgiiiiana 

 [Sim]. Parlatore unites with this the J. Barbadensis (Linne), but 

 Grisebach regards it as distinct. Many of the plants in gardens 

 called Thuya or Biotia Meldensis belong to this species. 



Juniperus brevifolia, Antoine. 



In the Azores, up to 4,800 feet ; a nice tree with sometimes 

 silvery foliage. 



Juniperus Cedrus, Webb. 



A tall tree of the higher mountains of the Canary-Islands. 



Juniperus Chinensis, Linne. 



In temperate regions of the Himalayas, up to an altitude of 15,000 

 feet, also in China and Japan. Hardy in Christiania [Schuebeler], 

 This tree, is known to rise exceptionally to about 100 feet, with a 

 stem-girth of 13 feet; it is of comparatively rapid growth, furnishing 

 a reddish, soft and fine-grained wood, suitable for pencils [Hoopes]. 

 Probably identical with it is the Himalayan Pencil-Cedar (Juniperus 

 religiosa, Royle). The timber of some other tall Junipers needs 

 tests. 



Juniperus communis, Linne. 



Colder parts of Europe, Asia, North-Africa and North-America, 

 ascending the European Alps to 8,000 feet, the Indian mountains to
