^Japanese {Juglans Sieholdi'. This species is found growing -nil:! 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 much superior. 

 The trees grow with great vigor, assirming a very handsome form and need no pruning; mature early;; bear 

 young, and are mora 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
