THE ENGLISH WALNUT.
Cultivation of tho Knglleh walnut Is
not only one of tho newest but one of
the most rnpldly growing industries In
tho United States; nnd of course the
reason f?r th'a Is readily traced to the
tfnet that this country Is .producing
only about one-half enough of these
nuts to supply the demand, says Hoi
lister Sage J n the Xatloiuil Xurscrvman.
The Persian walnut, commonly called
tho English walnut, 'wus named "Nut
of tho Gods" nineteen hundn d years
ago by tho Romans, and by them waa
distributed throughout southern Wu
rope, whero descendants of those origi
nal trees are now tandlng some of
them moro than a thousand years old
lasting monuments to the man who
Tfntch wo havo here in the Hast, but
they have overcome this drawback In a
great measure by Jrrlgatlntr a row days
lo'inrc tho nut are ripe. Thoy begin
the harvest the last of Septemtn r, gath
eilng tho nuts which have fallen, dry
ing them n trays for a fow days, then
taking them to the association packing
houses, whore thoy aro bleached and
sacked. Tho association dots tho ship
ping nnd marketing, the grower gets
his check on del.very at the warehouse,
For there Is no wasto and tho nuts are
all sold beforo tho hnrvest begins; In
fart, often oversold.
In Borne of tho old missions of Cali
fornia there aro English walnut trees
more than ono hundred nnd forty years
old, with trunks four feet in diameter.
Thcro aro many of these Individual
ancient trees, throughout the State, but
the oldest of tho orchards are from
thirty-five to forty years, Some of
theso trees have a spread of eighty feet
or more and tho growers consider that
un English walnut orchard will bear
profitably for at least 200 years.
If trees will do this In Irrigated sec
tions they will live and jrrow much
longer In unlrrlgated placet, for It 1
well known that the roots of trees not
lirlgated go much deeper into the sub
noil and got tho moisture nnd nourish
ment which this subsoil furnishes. The
i- 'ots of Irrigated trees remain nearer
the surface and are not so long lived.
As an ornamental trco tho English
walnut 'a unsurpassed. It has a light
comparative harmlessness of tins specie"
as It goes further north is probably dim

generation.
In 1895, when the city or Washington
was visited by an unusual number i f
theso Insects, ono of tho later genet-1-tloiiH
of caterpillars, which hatched
about August 2, commenced to spin
nliout September 3. During tho latter
part of Septemher most of the moths
mado their appearance and tho con
spicuous white, egg masses were very
abundant on tlho trees by October 1.
Caterpillars hatching nfter October 1
are unlikely to develop Into moths.

Mr Pomeroy's tree wns loaded with an
exceptionally fine variety of sweet fla

of nil tho English walnut groves In

How to Control It Ilnrncra.
The caterpillar of tho tussock moth,
which Is noticeable because of three
long black tufts of hair protruding from
Its yellow body, has done considerable
damage to many shndo trees during the
summer and fall. This Insect, which
extends througth the eastern United
States ns far west as Iowa, seems to
prefer poplars, maples, elms, alders,
birches and willows. Besides Injuring
trees, its barbed hairs occasionally pro
duce considerable irritation on the skin
of persons upon whom tho caterpillars
drop. To control the ravages of th!..
pest tho coming season the conspicuous
white egg masses laid by the moth
should be destroyed nfter the leaves
havo fallen, when they may be very
easily notlcrd.
