"Juglans nigra grows best in deep, loose, fresh to moist, 

 warm and sandy loam. It will grow in a dry and compact 

 soil, but not in a wet one. Black Walnut is very scarce at 

 the present time, and therefore it would be a profitable in- 

 vestment to plant wherever the soil is suitable for this tree, yet 

 unprofitable for agriculture. The walnut is a fairly rapid 

 grower and it produces useful timber in forty years. For 

 planting, stratify the walnuts in the fall and leave them until 

 they begin to germinate in the spring, then the germinating 

 seed may be taken up and planted in its permanent position, 

 at a distance of six by six feet apart." (Hort. Rpt,, '03, 

 Meier, 214.)
