C Nux Jutluns bifera. The double bearing Wallnut. 
The rwife bearing in a yeareof this Wallnut maketh the onely difference from the common fort, for thereof 
there is no further SUoh „, Wallnut,or the late ripe Wallnut. 
This Wallnut foooteVh not fonhany leaves untill it be M idfommer.or Saint lohus day as it is laid, fo that the 
tree feemeth as dead others having had greene leaves thereon long before : the leaves and frmte diftetrc not rom

The Place and Time. 
It is thought that the Wallnut firft came out of Perfut, for it is not knowne to grow naturally any where, but 
(till have beene planted of the Nuts put into the ground (for 1 have not heard that they can be produced by any o- 
ther meanes) wheieloever they grow,excepting onely the Virginia kmdes : they bloflome eare y, before the 
leaves come forth,’nd the ftuitc is ripe in September, except the late ripe .which as i» bud is in OUcber.
