. X JUGLANS INTERMEDIA VILMORE- 



ana Carr. Juglandaceae. 



Cuttings of a tree 80 feet high, a hy-

 black walnut, with branches more up- 

 right than those of the European walnut, 

 grayish bark, and bronze-colored young 

 shoots. The slightly coriaceous, smooth, 

 dark-green, oval leaflets remain on the 

 branches until killed by frost. The fruit 

 is not produced every year and never in 

 large quantities ; it is smooth, and the 

 nut is more deeply furrowed than that 

 of the European species.

Plants of one of the handsomest small

 color which is remarkable, and the 

 bright-blue berries add a touch of style 

 to the plant. This shrub, an introduc-

 quires plenty of moisture.
