W^/>^ r^^^^^^^ nnmt^ -^w JUGLANS CINEREA. Butternut, FINITE XXXII. Of the forest trees which deserve attentionfor other properties than the uses of their timber,the Butternut is undoubtedly one of the most in-teresting ; its fruit, bark and juices being all con-vertible to use. In favourable situations it becomesa large tree, having frequently a trunk of threefeet in diameter. It is abundant in the North-ern and 3Iiddle States, as well as in the Westerncountry. Some parts of the District of Maine, Iam told, produce woods of considerable extent,consisting wholly of this tree. Michaux tells us,that it is common in the states of Kentucky andTennessee, that it abounds on the banks of LakeErie, the Ohio and even the Missouri. The sameauthor states that it is found in the mountainous 116 JUGLANS CINEREA. parts of Carolina and Georgia, but that he has notmet with it in the lower or level portions of theSouthern States. It is variously known by thenames of Butternut, Ollnut and White Walnu
