A Transplanted Mulberry Tree.— In a garden attached to 
a cottage on Harfrey’s Eoad, Gorleston, which was built by my 
great uncle, William Danby Palmer, early in the present century, 
as a summer resort, and now belonging to myself, stands, at the 
present time, a Mulberry Tree which, for the last three years has 
again, after an interval of many years, borne fruit ; it is 15 feet in 
height, and 3 feet 1 inch in girth, and has a somewhat singular 
history, which, so far as I am acquainted with it, is as follows : —

says from the early part of the eighteenth century (‘ Perlustration,’ 
vol. iii. p. 123), and in the fore-court attached to these premises

probably planted by one of them. 
It was certainly there, and of sufficient growth to allow a seat

late Mr. T. C. Lake has informed me that he there courted his 
wile, whose father was then my great-grandfather’s tenant, in 
that position. 
The “Cote” being pulled down, as before mentioned, had it 
not been for the action of my late uncle, Salmon Palmer, this tree
