PLATE VIII. 



The Queensland Nut (Macadamia ternifolia). 



The fact that the Queensland nut will grow and fruit in California and Florida has been established, 

 and it remains for American experimenters to start its cultivation on a commercial scale. The 

 delicate flavor of the nut, resembling but richer than that of the filbert, and its extremely attrac- 

 tive appearance should insure its being added to the almond and the pecan on our dinner tables.
