BRUSSA MULBERRT, 



A fresh lot of genuine Brussa Mulberry Seed just received 

 at the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Stoie, 

 Nos. 51 and .52 North Market Street This species of Mul- 

 berry flourishes best in high and ema poor lands, and is 

 more likely to endure the rigors of our severe wineirs and 

 not so subject to the effect of the frost, as trees brought from 

 more southern latitudes, or warmer climes. 



The leaves of the Morns alba of Brussa, are said to con- 

 tain a much greater quantity of saccharine matter, than any 

 other of the white species, and moreover, the leaf is much 

 larger than those of Italy and Spain ; it is also a hardy tree, 

 susceptible of being raised in climates, where the frosts are 

 severe. 



At the annual fair of the American Institute, at New 

 York, in October last, specimens of the leaves of the Brussa 

 tree, of different years* growth, were exhiliited, and excited 

 universal approbation, and the Institute awarded a silver 

 medal for the introduction of this invaluable tree, observing 

 in the report of the committee, " that these with every new 

 and useful plant, calculated to withstand the rigors of our 

 climate, are worthy of attention, and those introducing them 

 into our country, deserve to be placed on the catalogue of 

 country's benefactoi*s."
