Plants, of one year old from the graft, are liable to bo

merits of this new Mulberry are known, it will become 
universally popular.—J. Frost, 
Not long since, a gentleman who bas eaten of it 
freely for a couple of years, informed us that he 
considered it equal to the raspberry. This being 
the case, the value of a tree that will give several 
bushels of such fruit, ripening in succession for 
live or sik weeks cannot be questioned. It is an 
acquisition to our catalogue of small fruits that 
our people will not be slow to appreciate.
