WALNUT. 



Although three walnut trees, exclusive of butternut, are native of 

 the United States, the whole of the walnut lumber is cut from the 

 common black walnut (Juglans nigra), which abounds throughout 

 the eastern half of the country, extending from the Atlantic to the 

 edge of the treeless plains west of the Mississippi River. The small 

 Mexican walnut (Juglans rupestris) grows in Texas, and another, 

 which is also small, is the California walnut (Juglans califomica) .

SYCAMORE. 



A single species of sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) furnishes the 

 lumber of this name in the United States. It ranges from southern 

 New England to Nebraska and southward to the Gulf of Mexico. 

 One small species of sycamore in Arizona and another in California are 

 seldom sawed for lumber.
