It has been stated in an English paper that black walnut timber grown in the United States is worth four shillings {$I), and Canadian black walnut $1.25 per foot (cubic?) in Bristol, England, where there is a large demand for it. It is doubtful whether this will hold good of walnut timber grown in some portions of the Union. In the Far West, where trees suffer severely in winter and their vital powers are much strained, it is likely timber may not be as sound as in locations where there are no set-backs from droughts, or extreme cold winds or temperature; for it is well known that what affects the health of a tree affects the durable quality of the timber also. The matter is, however, one requiring the careful attention of timber planters, for there is no doubt that though " walnut from the States," as given in this quotation, is a very indefinite statement, there is a great deal of judgment required in selecting a good location with the view to the most perfect success.
