The Broussa is an improved variety, celebrated also for its 

 great hardihood, and for affording silk of the first excellence, and 

 it is consequently well suited for the most northern parts of the 

 Union. 



The Morus Rubra, or Red Mulberry, of our own country, but 

 whose fruit is frequently black, grows luxuriantly in the most 

 northern parts of New-England, and there is also a species call- 

 ed Morus Tartarica, which is a native of northern Tartary. 

 From these circumstances, it may be inferred that the worm can 

 find food growing in a natural state, conducive to its sup- 

 port, even in those rigorous climates, and consequently, the 

 efforts of man may be successfully devoted to an extension of 

 the silk culture in similar latitudes. 



Mulberries, &c. 



Genuine Morus Multicaulis, or true Phillippine Island Mul- 

 berry, producing the largest leaves. The Trees of this fine 

 variety, reared by us, have become hardened and acclimated by 

 culture, in a high and exposed location : the wood is very 

 mature and perfect, and the joints very close, thence affording 

 one-third, and often one half more buds for propagation, than 

 those grown far to the south. As the root of this species will 

 throw up numerous shoots, each root is charged at 10 to 12 

 cents in addition to the charge for the body of the tree, as stated 

 below. In many places the root is counted as 15 to 25 cents, 

 or as 6 to 12 inches measurement.
