of the American Walnut-trees, but unfortunately it is 
only doubtfully hardy in the northeastern states and will 
probably never grow to a large size here or produce the 
great crops of nuts and the timber which make this such a 
useful tree in many parts of the world. Chestnut-trees 
(Gastanea) are fast disappearing from the United States 
as the Chestnut-tree disease spreads, and there is now 
little interest in drawng a comparison between the 
American and foreign species. The European Chestnut 
is not hardy in Massachusetts. The Japanese Chestnut 
is a small tree of no great value, and the Chinese Castanea 
mollissima, which it is hoped may prove resistant to the 
disease, has only been in the country for fifteen years. It 
has proved hardy in the Arboretum and produces a little 
fruit here.

It appears therefore from the experience gained in 
Massachusetts during about a century that only the fol¬ 
lowing deciduous-leaved trees of large size have proved 
themselves to be worth general planting in the north¬ 
eastern states for ornament or timber:—the Gingko, the 
Pseudolarix, the European Larch, three species of Poplar, 
three Willows and their hybrids, the Cercidiphyllum, the 
White Mulberry, the Ailanthus, the European Beech, the 
English Elm, one Birch, three Lindens, the European 
Horsechestnut, and the Norway Maple, twenty in all. At 
the end of another century the record of the Arboretum 
will, it is to be hoped, be able to tell a story of greater 
successes.
