You notice in tidewater Virginia. and espe-
cialiy around WILLIAMSBURG many venerable old
mulberry trees which the relics of a fad
introduced early in the colony. For a century
and half the people made Intellectual attempts
TO produce their own silk in order to escape the
commercial tyranny of the French merchants.
Charles | and Charles III both favored the enter
prise. and encouraged il 10y promising rewards.
BY the direction of Cromwell the House of Bur
gesses passed a law requiring the planting of
one mulberry tree to every ten acres of land in
the colony. Hence you find mulberry trees
everywhere. There also law permitting
only councillors and heads of families to appear
in gold lace. and forbdding every body to dress
in silk clothing unless the silk grown in
Virginia. The experiment fully tried but
was Improbable. In 1655 four hundred pounds
of silk Were sent to London: in 1868 three hun
dred pounds We're sent present to Charles
III. These are the largest shipments noted in
the records Occasionally few pounds went
along with cargo of tobacco. The worms did
