. Annual report of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Mulberries. 313 I. (a) The Russian Mulberry Sub-group. — Mortis alba var. Tatarica, Loudon. {Morus Tatarica of Linnaeus). This is a hardy type of Moms alba wMch was introduced into our western States during 1875-1876-1877 by tbe Kussian Men- nonites. It scarcely differs from tbe type of Morus alba in botanical characters, and perhaps should not be kept distinct, even as a botanical variety. As commonly seen, it is a I'ow-growing very bushy-topped, small tree with small and much lobed Russ'an Mulberry. The fruit is usually very small and insipid, and varies from creamy white to violet, deep red and almost black. The accompanying picture of the Eussian Mulberry appeared in the American Grarden some two years ago. It was made from a specimen taken early in the season from the Cornell garden. The Russian Mulberry is commonly propagated from seeds and is therefore very vai'iable. A lai'ge-fruited or distinct growing form often appears^ and three, at least, of these have been named. They are described below. 40.
