" Messrs Jos. Breck & Co. (ienllemen, I scad you a lot ol 

 Mulberry seed which please sell on my account It was sent 

 from Broosa, Asia, and represented to be of the best quality. 

 •1 he seed is large and fell Yo.l are aware that the Asiatic 

 Mulberry, differing from the well known Chh.ese or Morus 

 .Multicaulis, is held m high estimation by the natives and 

 considered by them to be inferior to none for its productive- 

 ness, and superior adaptation for feeding silk worms. This 

 is undoubtedly that variety."

 be no .loubt of its vitality. JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
