Mo'ux.Y. (Named after Morna, one 

 of Ossian's heroines. Nat. ord., Com- 

 posites [Asteracece]. Linn., ID-Synye- 

 nesia 1-sEqitalis. Allied to Podolopsis.) 



Greenhouse plants, with yellow flowers, from 

 Swan River. Nitida, an evergreen, may be 

 propagated by cuttings, under a bell-glass, and 

 both are easily raised from seed, sown either in 

 September or March, but in both cases the 

 plants must be kept in light soil, and well 

 drained, or they will damp off. The autumn- 

 sown ones will bloom in the greenhouse early 

 in spring and summer ; the spring-sown ones 

 late in summer, and the beginning of autumn. 

 If it is desirable to try them out of doors, they 



should not be planted out far north of London, 



until the middle of June.

MORTON-BAY CHESNUT. Castano- 

 spe'rmum. 



MO'KUS. Mulberry. (From wor, the 

 Celtic for black ; referring to the colour 

 of the fruit. Nat. ord., Morads [Mo- 

 raceae]. Linn., %1-Moncecia 4-7Wra/j- 

 tfito.) 



Seeds, layers, cuttings, and truncheons ; in 

 fact you can scarcely fail to propagate the" 

 mulberry, as pieces of the roots, branches, and 

 even the stem, if stuck into the ground in a de- 

 ciduous state, will grow more easily than a 

 gooseberry cutting ; deep sandy, or calcareous 

 loam. Of the hardy kinds, Niffra is the hardiest, 

 grown chiefly for its fruit. Alba is more tender, 

 grown chiefly for its leaves for feeding the silk- 

 worm.
