A one-page encyclopedia entry on the mulberry tree from Rees's Cyclopedia. It covers the medicinal qualities of the fruit and root bark, the case for wider cultivation in England for silk-worm rearing, mulberry cider in Devonshire, and the ancients' regard for the tree. It notes related species, including fustick-wood and the China and Japan mulberry, whose bark is used for paper and, in the South Sea islands, for cloth.
