This variety comes from St. James parish, and has been

 the Bourgeois. The late Mr. W. R. Stuart, of Ocean Springs, 

 Miss., named it Van Deman, in honor of Prof. H. K. Van 

 Deman, late pomologist of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture. A very fine nut, but occasionally it does not

YOUNG. 



This is a very thin-shelled nut of medium size and fine 

 quality. Tree very productive. The original tree stands 

 between St. Martinsville and New Iberia. It has been pro- 

 pagated to some extent and called simply a seedling. As Mr. 

 B. M. Young, of Morgan City, has taken such an active inter- 

 est in preserving and distributing this valuable seedling, I 

 have taken the liberty of giving it the name of Young in this 

 Kst. (See No. 3, figure XIV).
