THE WALNUT 175 



the tradition tracing the cultivated walnut of Japan to Korea. The 

 Koreans again have a tradition that walnuts reached them from China 

 about fifteen hundred years ago in the days of the Silla Kingdom. 1 

 The Korean names for the fruit are derived from the Chinese: ho do 

 being the equivalent of hu t'ao, kan do corresponding to k'ian t'ao, 

 and ha do to ho t'ao. The Geography of the Ming Dynasty states that 

 walnuts are a product of Korea. 1
