Of the Blak MULBERR Y: 
3 e. 2 the Fruits ; I fhall therefore filently sais over all the other 
Kinds, fince they are more fuitable to the Taftes of fome Botanifts, who 
delight in Varieties of many ufelefs and unprofitable Plants, than to curious 
Propagaters of advantageous Fruits, 
is by cae Pa hich fhoul db ‘Taid doen 3 in Olfober ac. a eighteen 
Inches apart, that a free Air may be continually circulating about them; 
and there remain upon the Stools full two Years after, before they are 
taken away, that thereby they may be well rooted, when we come to 
take them up for tran{planting into the Nurfery. 
THE Diftances that they are planted at in the Nurfery, fhould not 
be nearer than two Feet and a half, or three Feet, and not nine Inches 
or a Foot as is ufually done, whereby they have not half enough Air to 
perfpire in, and confequently are greatly injur‘d thereby. 
THE Leaves of the Mulberry being very large and heavy, caufe 
their leading Shoots to bow downwards, and thereby grow crooked : 
Therefore to prevent fuch deform’d Growths, we fhould place ftraic 
Stakes, or Arbour Poles, by the Side of every Plant, and thereto tie 
their leading Shoots as they arife.
