O OTHER life insurance company in the world pays death claims as promptly as does Tae Paciric Murua. The first money received by dependents after the death of their bread-winner is the most valuable. That THe Pacrric Murvat’s “immediate payment” provision is appreciated, the following selected from many, plainly shows: FRESNO, Cal., November 15, L889. Col. A. B. Covalt, Resident Agent of the Pacific Mutual Life Ins. Co. of California: I hereby acknowledge receipt of the company’s checks for $10,000, and $947.15 additions, which was earned by one of the $5,000 policies, in pany pient in full of both policies of J. H. Hamilton, deceased. Tbe final proofs were received ut home office yesterday, the l4th, and >this morning you hand me check for full amounts, without discount. Such promptness should recommend this company to all persons desiring life insurance. Many thanks for kindness and promptness in eh yee I can cheerfully recommend Colonel Covalt and his Company for promptness and fairness in dealing. ALEX. GORDON, Adm’r of Estate of J. H. Hamilton. To the above should be added, that although insured in several life companies, THE Pacrric Mutua. paid its policies from two to four weeks earlier than any other. As it is well known that ready funds are the most telling where large property interests are to be protected, the value of the truly immediate-payment plan of Tur Paciric Murua. cannot be overestimated.

A Improved Soft-Shell Walnut. The English Walnut. 251 THE ENGLISH WALNUT. Before planting a walnut orchard select good, rich, deep valley soil, with an abundance of available water. Plant about forty feet apart—twenty-seven trees to the acre. An equal number of some other kind of fruit tree may be planted between if desired. At eight years of age the improved varieties of walnuts are estimated to yield one hundred pounds to the tree, which at present market prices are worth ten to fifteen cents per pound. But if you can’t market them readily, you have the whole year in which to crack them! Juglans regia is the botanical name of our English walnut or the Madeira nut of commerce, and many cultural varieties have been originated. In California have originated a number of so-called hard and soft shelled varieties. Some strongly advocate the hard shell varieties; others advance claims for the supremacy of the soft shell, which is now gaining in popular favor, especially in Southern California, where it is much more largely propagated than the other sorts. The soft shell walnut originated in the orchard of Joseph Sex- ton, of Santa Barbara, and Geo. W. Ford has since secured by selection his improved soft shell, which has proved very prolific and profitable, especially in Orange county. By courtesy of Mr. G. W. Ford, of Santa Ana, California, we give an illustration of his im- proved variety. The following notes on the culture of this variety is extracted from an essay by Mr. Ford, read before the Thirteenth State Fruit Growers’ Convention: My improved soft shell nuts took the premium at the last Dow- ney fair. I had about one-third of a bushel there, and they averaged twenty-four to the pound. Last year a well-known fruit grower at Tustin raised some soft shells which ran as low as eighteen nuts to the pound. I plant my walnuts in the nursery rows four feet apart by one foot apart in the row, and do not believe in planting nursery stock of any kind too close. Certainly cheaper trees can be grown by that method, but I have yet to find a stunted tree that ever gave good satisfaction when planted in an orchard. In planting trees in an orchard, first of all plow the ground deep, then go over it with a harrow ora pulverizer. Dig large and deep holes; plant two or three inches deeper than the trees grew in the nursery; lean them to the prevailing summer winds and you will not have to stake the trees to make them grow straight. Press the soil firmly around the roots, and if not very moist give each tree five or 252 The Walnut and Its Culture. ten gallons of water, which is sufficient to settle the ground firmly around the roots. Cultivate your orchard to the depth of four or five inches. If the soil is moist enough to keep the tree in good growing condition during the summer months, irrigation is not necessary; but to make a first-class walnut, in size and in the full- ness of kernel, if the ground is not naturally moist enough, artificial means will have to be adopted. My improved soft shell walnut commences to bear at four years from the seed; at six years my trees average fifty pounds of nuts to the tree, while some went as high as seventy-five pounds; at seven years, they averaged ninety-six pounds, and at eight years old, av- eraged as high as one hundred and twenty-five pounds, while some of the largest trees bear one hundred and fifty pounds of the finest walnuts I have ever seen. THE WALNUT AND ITS CULTURE. The walnut is a genus of beautiful trees of the natural order Juglandacee, named Juglans trom Jovis, the heathen God, and glans a nut. The two most widely known of North American species are Juglans nigra (the black walnut) and Juglans cinerea (the butter nut). But the variety to which we wish to call particu- larnotice, and which is attracting attention among fruit growers in Southern California, is Juglans regia, the common English walnut or Madeira nut. It is classed among the hardy deciduous trees and js a native of Persia. It was introduced into England in 1562, thence distributed over a considerable portion of the globe, wherever the climate and soil is suitable. It is a lofty tree with large spreading branches. Its foliage resembles that of the ash, and the leaves give forth a fine balsamic odor when bruised. By bruising and rubbing on the skin they are said to be a sure cure for the itch. Placed in wardrobes they prevent the ravages of moths. An excellent pickle and a kind of ketchup are made from the unripe fruit. Just before they are ripe they are much used in France with vinegar, salt, pep- per and shallots. Walnut oil is a commercial product of Persia and some parts of France, but has attained no proportions in this country. The timber of all kinds of walnuts is very valuable, that of the black walnut sometimes bringing fabulous prices. In California the English walnut is planted in orchard form for the purpose of raising nuts for the market, and the tree also has special value for shade and a great many streets and avenues are lined with this magnificent tree. Where shade is needed during the The Walnut and Its Culture. 205 summer and sunlight in winter this tree is found always satisfac- tory. It makes a splendid growth in California and has been known to have a spread of sixty feet in less than twenty years. The English wainut has proved very profitable along the coast in this state, but at the same time a great many fine groves in the in- terior give promise of heavy yields. It does best where a deep, rich, moist and loamy soil is to be found, but is doing very well in this climate where the soil is less favorable. Where water is to be had and irrigation is carried on splendid walnuts can be raised on any of the foothills and uplands, but moisture must be had, and a dry and neglected place will not do for the walnut. The trees are propagated from the seed, which usually come true, being first planted about a foot apart in the nursery row. (The month of January is best for planting). When the seedlings are one year old they may be transplanted into orchard form, and should be set from forty to sixty feet apart each way. Some orchardists advocate leaving the walnut tree in the nursery row until it attains the age of three to five vears, but experience will soon show the fal- lacy of this operation. On the other hand if the seed is planted in orchard form and the seedling never molested, better results will undoubtedly be attained. Some experimenting has been done at different times in the way of grafting and budding the walnut and the result has well repaid the trouble as several new varieties have been secured that are improve- ments on the old sort. One new variety that has come into promi- nent notice is Ford’s Improved Soft Shell, which, without doubt, has more excellent qualities than any other. The kernel is of excel- lent flavor, firm, and always fills the shell well, and is a good keeper as well as a good shipper. Of other varieties we quote from Wick- son’s ‘‘California Fruits.”’ ComMON ENGLISH WALNUT:—This is the ordinary English wal- nut of commerce and is considered very desirable for its shipping qualities, being medium hard shelled, The tree is not as reliable a bearer as the newer sorts and for that reason is not as widely planted as some others. SanTa BARBARA SOFT SHELL:—The soft shellis a little later start- ing in the spring than the common nut, and blooms about ten days later. It fruits at from four to six years from seed, and usually pro- duces a full crop every year. This variety is not as strong a grower as the common walnut, and more trees can be placed to the acre, and more nuts can be pro- duced. The kernel is white and very fine. The shells are thin and 254 Revision of the Bombylid Genus Aphoebantus. break very easily, but cannot be shipped any reasonable distance without damage. PROEPARTURIENS OR DwWarF ProwiFic:—A choice French variety that has proved itself to be worthy of cultivation in California. It is not truly what its name implies, not being a regular dwarf nor such an early bearer, but the fruit is of an excellent quality and is always in demand where it is known. PERSIAN WALNUT OR KaGHazi:—Is very much larger than the ordinary kinds and thin shelled. The tree is late in blooming and therefore is especially good for places that are in danger of frosts. There are a few other varieties that will no doubt prove valua- ble in time, but are not worth while describing at present. The walnut tree is usually headed at a height of six to eight feet, and requires considerable attention in the way of forming a head for the first three or four years. The tree is naturally of spreading habit but ifit is trained with an upward tendency more strength can be secured. L. C. Cummins. REVISION OF THE BOMBYLID GENUS APHOEBANTUS. In the May number of the Canadian Entomologist for the year 1886 I gave descriptions of all the species of Aphoebantus (five in number) then known to occur in North America. Since the publica- tion of that paper the Baron Osten Sacken has described six new species from this region, three of which occur in the United States (Biologia Centrali Americana, Part Diptera). In Southern Cali- fornia I have collected specimens belonging to twelve as yet unde- scribed species, making a total of twenty-three species now known to occur in this country. The following table will aid in identifying the species which occur in the United States. Osten Sacken’s Aphoe- bantus rattus from Texas is unknown to me in nature, and I have given it a place in the accompanying table in accordance with his published description; all the other species of this table are repre- sented in my collection. I have included in this table my Eucessia rubens, which might be mistaken for an Aphoebantus, although lacking the long, style-like prolongation of the third antennal joint: 1.
