PRACTICAL TREATISE
ON the culture Of silk, adapted

"a on the culture Of silk, adapted
to the Climate and Soil Of the
United States, BY F. G. CoMsTocK.
Secretary Of the Hartford County Silk
Society, and Editor ofthe Silk Cultus
r;st. illustrated by Engravings.
The interest in all parts ofthe Uni.
| ted States in the Culture and Manu-
faclure of Silk, manifested by the con-
slant calls for Information on the sub
ject, has induced the publisher to have
prepared plain Practical Treatise
on The Cultivation OF the Mulberry and
Rearing Silk Worms, adapted to the
Soil and Climate of this country and
to the wants Of plain and practical
men.
The Practical Culturist in this coun-
try needs directory adapted to the
Soil ON which he plants bis trees, and
the Climate in which he rears his
worms, without reference to Soils and
Climates less congenial to theirgrowth.
1t has been therefore the object of the
| author to make treatise strictly prac.'
teal, emitting nothing of importance.
and adding nothing OF useless or exs.
| traneous character.
AS making the raw material into
Sewing Silk and Twist is very profit-
able to the Silk grower, all necessary
information for that purpose will be
given.
This work is in Press and will SOON
be published in duodecimo of about
100 pages, in handsome binding
price so cents. A part Of the edition
will be put up in elastic covers to be
forwarded by mail.
