DRIED MULBERRIES FROM AFGHANISTAN, MORUS ALBA. 
These dried mulberries were presented by His Majesty the Ameer of Afghanistan to the 
Department of Agriculture through his official representative, Mr. A. C. Jewett. They are practi- 
cally, but not quite, seedless and extremely palatable. Analysis showed them to have about the 
food value of dried figs. According to Mr. Jewett they form almost the exclusive food of hundreds 
of thousands of Afghans for several months each year. Photographed (P15747FS) by E. L. 
Crandall, April 6, 1915.
