In fertile woods : New England to Florida. Tj . April, 
May. V. V. The Black Walnut is, like all the follow- 
ing, a tree of large size, and its nuts are eaten by men 
and several species of animals. The wood is put to 
various mechanical and osconomical uses ; for which 
information I refer to the different authors on forest 
trees, but particularly to the works of the younger 
Michaux.

under the name of Butter Nut, Oil Nut, and White, 
Wylnut. The younger Michaux has altered the 
adopted name, and substituted one indicating the me- 
dicinal use made of it, which certainly would be a 
very good name if the old one had not been so long 
established.
