inrOur venerable frienii.Dr Thnclier, liiis given us 

 "another slumbler" relative to ilie singular freaks of 

 nature, in the account of tho apple tree, producing fruit 

 of opposite qualities, which no doubt will be interesting 

 to our readers. We have seen and tasted an apple from 

 this very tree alluded lo ; vvc should be glad, however, 

 to have another taste, iis that was a nuiuher of years 

 since, and not very satisl'aotory. requirin;;some fancy to 

 distinguish between the sweet and the sour; it was not 

 probably a good specimen, as we were assured at tho 

 lime that the tree was known to many as producing 

 fruit as described in Ihe description published to-day.

U' We acknowledge the receipt of a basket of 6ne 

 native grapes, from our friend, E. Phinney, Esq , of Lex- 

 i-Boton. The flavor of them was fine— the color a light 

 claret— bunches very compact. This is the same varie- 

 ty we saw growing in such profusion on his stone walls 

 1 few weeks since, and noticed in the Farmer. J. B. 



llj=We feel ourselves under great obligations to the 

 Rev. Morrill Allen, for his answers to the queries of Mr 

 mes.

Itlorus ninlticanlls Trees from Seed. 



The subscriber offers for sale 10,000 trees produced from 

 seed of the genuine Morns Multicaulis. The seed was rais- 

 ed on his premises is 1835; the trees have been multiplied 

 for the two last years by layers, their growth is more rapid 

 than the original tree, and appear to be sufficiently acclima- 

 ted to endure the winter, some of them having been left 

 standing in the open field unprotected during the two last 

 winters without any essential injury. The leaves are very 

 large and equal in quality to any other kind for feeding the 

 silk worm. Those who are wishing lo purchase a superior 

 kind of Mulberry are requested to call and examine for them- 

 selves, before the foliage is destroyed by frost

Harvard, September 11. 



MXJIiBBKRY TREES. 



The subscriber has on hand a quantity of MulberryTrees of a 

 quality which is probably superior to any kind ever introduced 

 into this country. They were imported Tour years since and 

 though they have sustained the rigorous cold of the last three 

 winters entirely unprotected, yet it is believed a Southern or 

 Western climate would be more admirably adapted to their 

 growth and propagation. Their foliage is most luxuriant 

 and affords more nourishment than any other variety. Silk 

 produced by worms fed with the leaves, has been pronounced 

 by judges to be the best ever manufactured by them, and de- 

 cidedly superior to the best Italian. A few thousand will be 

 for sale if immediate application is made to the subscriber, 

 where specimens may be seen. 



Also — A few hundred Morus Multicaulis and Asiatic.
