Persian — ^Thia excellent fruit tree should be in every family or- 
chard. Trees of rather slow growth, but bear young and produce 
the largest and finest fruit of all the mulberries. The fruit is 
black, &rge, one to one and a half inches long, with a fine aroma- 
tic flavor and abundant sub-acid juiee. This tart flavor makes 
it very different in taste from all other mulberries. It makes 
better pies than blackberries, as there are no seeds and no core. 
Mulberries are invaluable for protecting cherries and other fruits, 
as birds will eat the mulberries in preference. This variety is 
also invaluable to jjlant in chicken yards for shade and feed. 
Commences to ripen in early suznmer and bears continually 
until late fall.
