136 COMPLETE INSTRUCTION IN 



&ent to all parts, by mail and express. I also 

 $ent out many broods of silkworm/ when in the 

 first molt. I packed in boxes with crinkled 

 paper and fresh leaves, and they always arrived 

 safely at their destination. I have sent them as 

 far as Washington, D. C. 



This year (1902), the interest in the silk busi- 

 ness is much greater in all parts of the Union 

 than I have ever known it to be. This is espe- 

 cially so in the Southern States. The people in 

 San Diego seem to begin to realize what unde- 

 veloped wealth is lying at their doors, and acres 

 of mulberry trees and slips are being added to 

 those already in. The largest of these mulberry 

 groves are owned and cared for by the following 

 named persons: Mr. Thomas J. Swayne and wife, 

 of Coronado; Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Casseres of 

 National City; another party at Otay, and 

 many others whose names do not appear. 



The Theosophists of Point Loma have several 

 acres of mulberry orchard, which, if wisely cared 

 for, will in the near future serve to feed millions 

 of worms. 



There is ample room for all kinds of manu- 

 facture of silk in this broad land of ours. The 

 market can never be overstocked, so long as silk, 

 as a fabric, stands at the head of the triple crown 

 of textile industries, cotton, wool, and SILK.
