THE WALNUT — CULTURE IN EUROPE. 



walnuts are gathered and shipped, and as given in the United States 

 Treasury returns for the above-named years: 



Austria-Hungary is not credited with any walnut export to the 

 United States. The only other country growing walnuts which exports 

 them to New York and San Francisco that I know of, is Chile. These, 

 as a rule, reach New Yprk and San Francisco in the month of August, 

 and the only data I can find in the United States Treasury returns as 

 to the walnut export from that source is that contained in the returns 

 for the quarter ended September 30, 1894, in which Chile is credited 

 with an export figure of $5,844 48 for that year. No figures are given 

 for 1895, and I presume no w^alnuts were received.
