Walnuts, no ways differing from those of our own country, are very
common in the woods of Tucuman, but scarce seen in other parts of
Paraguay. Their wood is employed in making pistol-cases, handles, and
for other kinds of cabinet-maker's work. The nuts are of different
sorts, for some are very large, with a soft rind, others quite dwarfish,
and with rinds as hard as a stone.
