MULBERRIES. 



THE only variety cultivated in this country for its fruit 

 is the BLACK MULBEBKY (Morus nigra), and it is only in 

 the southern counties where it attains perfection. In the 

 midlands it ripens its fruit when trained against a Avail ; 

 but it is doubtful whether the crop so obtained is suffi- 

 cient remuneration for the space the tree occupies.
