VERYWHERE throughout our country, but more especially 

 ^^ , in the Northern and Middle States, the White Walnut, per- 

 'i"^ 'haps more commonly known as the Butternut, is to be tbund. 

 The former is the more proper designation, as it belongs 

 y s among the true Walnuts. The trunk is usually rather short, 

 but large in girth. The branches spread horizontally, giving 

 It a large, rounded head, sometimes thirty or lbrt_\- teet high. The 

 foliage has a plumy appearance, eacli leaf being composed of se\eral 

 leaflets arranged in pairs along a stem, with a single one to terminate 

 the point. The nut is elongated in shape, and encased in a husk or 

 sheath that is inseparable from it, and in that respect differing from 

 other Walnuts. The kernel is very sweet, pleasant-flavored, and rich 

 in oil, which gives it its most familiar synonym. The wood is useful 

 in some of the arts. The bark is used in medicine as a cathartic, and bv dvers 

 to produce a brown dye.
