 Asialir Mulberry seed at §5 p roz, and in packages of 1-i 

 oz. at i.'io. Tne following note will inform our customers as

Messr> Jos. lireck & Co. Gentlemen, I send you a lot of 

 Mnlherry^^seed which please sell on my accoonl It was sent 

 (rom IJroosa, Asia, and represented to be of the best quality. 

 The seed is large and fell. Yoj are aware that the Asiatic 

 Mullierrv, diCfering from the well known Chii.ese or Morns 

 IMnlticaulis, is held 'n high estimation by the natives and 

 considered by t.ieni to be inferior to none for its productive- 

 ness, and su[)erior adaptation for feeding silk worms. This 

 is undoubtedly that variety. We have tested the seed, and 

 can assure buyers, (hat there be no doubt of its vitality.
