A fine, hardy variety, with a large, plump kernel, and exceedingly ornamental 
when in bloom. 
This is the “ Ladies’ Almond ” of the shops, and although preferable to the for¬ 
mer, is not quite so hardy. Kernel sweet and rich. 
A native species, the Julans Cinerea of botanists. Wood light color. Tree 
handsome. 
Our native species. Smaller than the Spanish, but sweeter. 
A hardy tree, producing nuts of very large size and good flavor. 
Black Ischia, Brown Turkey, Celestial and White Marseilles. 
Smaller and with a thicker shell than the English, but of good flavor ; hardv and 
productive. 
The fruit of these is so much larger and better flavored than our native species, 
as to give them the preference for cultivation over the latter, in localities 
where they will succeed. 
Several varieties. 
Our trees are grown from extra fine thin-shelled nuts. 
The well-known native species, hardy, prolific and valuable. The timber in point 
of durability is difficult to excel. 
This rich and fine flavored nut is quite hardy with us, and makes a vigorous 
growth. Well worthy of cultivation.
