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 timber and make it very quick, being rapid growers. This fruit is 
excellent, and is recommended by some to plant in cherry orchards for the purpose of attracting the birds 
from the cherries, as they eat mulberries in preference to any other fruit.

wish to pay, and we will send articles to correspond with the price given.
