Walnut Family (Juglandaceae) . 



Butternut (Juglans cinerea). — A small tree as commonly seen 

 in Kentucky, with ash-gray bark and straggling branches. Not 

 very common anywhere, but has been observed in extreme eastern 

 and extreme western counties. From my notes it appears to be 

 unevenly distributed, occurring in more of the central counties than 

 elsewhere, and being scarce or wanting in the Blnegrass Region and 

 in much of the western third of the State.

Black Walnut (Juglans nigra). — Common thruout Ken- 

 tucky, formerly even more so. A fine tree, producing a valuable dark- 

 brown wood. Merchantable trees are rapidly being sought out and 

 destroyed. Easily grown from the nuts. In bloom May 13, 1900, 

 at Lexington. 



During the ten years preceding 1899, $5,000,000 are claimed to 

 have been paid for walnut timber sold out of Bluegrass Kentucky. 

 From $10,000 to $15,000 were paid for walnut timber on single 

 farms, and $30,000 is said to have been offered and refused for the 

 walnut on a very large tract in Woodford County.
