A two-page encyclopedia entry on the mulberry genus (Morus), describing the black, white, red and Indian mulberries and other species, their native regions, cultivation, fruit and wood. It stresses the white mulberry and related species as food for silk-worms in China, India and southern Europe. It also begins a note on the paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera), whose bark is used for paper and, in the Pacific, for cloth. The page with a botanical illustration shows the common mulberry's fruit, leaf and female flower.
