. North American trees : being descriptions and illustrations of the trees growing independently of cultivation in North America, north of Mexico and the West Indies . Trees. Black Mulberry 3^3 peduncles a little shorter; the pistillate catkins somewhat oblong, 0.5 to 10 mm. long. The fruit is subglobose to oval- oblong, I to 2 cm. long, varying greatly in size and quahty, usually longer than its stalk, white or pinkish, sometimes nearly dry, and never as juicy as that of the Black mulberry. The wood is moderately hard, close- grained, hght yellowish brown; its specific gravity is about 0.71. It is used for vari- ous purposes in the Old World; said to be a favorite for wine casks in France. The leaves are the chief food of the silkworm and also used as fodder for goats and sheep. The bast is used as a coarse fiber; the root-bark as a vermifuge and as a dye. In Turkestan the dried fruit of this species or a related one is ground into meal for food.

In our area it has been introduced on account of its pleasant black fruit, and has become naturalized along roadsides and waste places in the southern States and also on the Pacific coast, at- taining a maximum height of 20 meters, with a trunk diameter of 6 dm. The branches are numerous, slender and spreading, forming a large round head; the bark is sUghtly fissured, with many irregular dark gray scales; the twigs are round and slender, shghtly hairy, becoming smooth and brownish gray. The leaves are thin and firm, ovate, 4 to 15 cm. long, short taper-pointed, rounded or heart- shaped at the base, sharply toothed on the margin, sometimes 2- or 3-lobed, hairy at first, becoming dark green and shining above, paler, with prominent venation be-.
