M. nigra. Page 1345., add to 1. 12. : " Fig. 2526. is a sketch of a remarkable 

 black mulberry tree at Canterbury, growing on the land formerly used 

 as a garden by the monks of St. Augustine, near the Gothic gateway 

 yet remaining of that monastery. Mr. Masters, nurseryman of Can- 

 terbury, who kindly sent us the drawing from which Jig. 2526. was 



engraved, conjectures it to have been planted by the elder Tradescant, 



who was once gardener to Lady Wootton, at Canterbury. No one 



remembers to have seen the original trunk in an upright position, and 



the two arms shown as springing from it have now become large trees. 



The very remarkable mulberry at Battersea, figured in our Volumes 



of Plates, is supposed to be 300 years old."
