Among the thousands of varieties OF
mulberry trees, we have introduced the
four kinds hereafter described, which
have been set in the first rank by all SILK
cnlturists for their excellent qualities.
There are: The white mulberry t,ee.
This kind furnishes Il great mum Der OF va
rieties, and can be planted as standard,
ornamental or forest trees rs well as Tor
silk producing tree, sonLd wood, beaul-
ful leaves and sweet fruit.
Rosc-,eatcd mulberry tree; variety
of the white which furnishes itself many
other, has larger and heavier leaves; Civ
ing one ronn'l of cocoons per eighteen
pounds of it's leaves, splendid as orna'
mental tree. not so good as the white as a
forest tree: it produces the finest silk
known.
The Moret:i Elata does not degenerate
by seed, sustains the hardest winters Bet
ter than any other kind. 1t is fit for a
standard. ornamental and forest tree. 1t
grows straight up with an elegant shape
and luxuriant foliage. AS the white aud
| rose, it does not fear the Srassb"pper,
| rabbits and horers nor the many kinds OF
vermin which too often ruin most OF the
trees in this cnuntry.- 1t gives ORC pound
of cocoonS to every fourteen pounds OF
| leaves.
