THE LOVETT COMPANY. 



'-Japanese {Juglans Sieboldi). This species is found growing wild in the mountains of northern Japan, and 

 is as hardy as an oak. The leaves are of immense size, and the nuts, which are produced in great abundance, 

 grow in clusters of fifteen to twenty ; have a shell thicker than the English walnut, but not so thick as the 

 black walnut. The meat is sweet, of the very best quality ; flavor like a butternut, but less oily, and 

 muchsupei-ior. The trees grow with great vigor, assuming a very handsome form and need no priming; mature 

 early; bear young, and are more regular and productive than the English walnut; having an abundance of 

 fibrous roots it transplants as safely as an apple tree. No tree on our grounds has attracted more attention than 

 the Japanese Walnut. 4 to 6 ft., ea., 50c; 3 for .$1.25; doz., $4.00. 2 to 3 ft., 

 ea., 35c; 3 for 90c; doz.., |3.00. SmaU, ea., 25c; 3 for 60c; doz., $2.00.
