MULBERRIES. 
The Mulberry is a very valuable family of trees. Most of them make beautiful, 
well shaped and clean shade trees. All make very valuable limber and make it very 
quick, being rapid growers. The fruit is excellent for fowls, as well as man, and it 
will serve an excellent purpose in keeping birds from cherries and other fruits, as the 
birds will eat that in preference to any other fruit- Besides the above, millions of 
dollars is made out of the leaves by feeding them to silk worms. It should receive 
more attention in this country than it does.

ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT. 
Our limited space will not admit of a full description of every shrub or flower, 
neither can we give the exact price for each particular size and style of plant. They 
vary so much in size, shape and condition that a minute description would occupy 
too much space. But we can guarantee satisfaction if you will, in ordering articles 
where the price ranges from one figure to another, simply give the price you wish to 
pay, and we will send articles to correspond with the price given.
