About this title

Synopsis

A Manual Containing Information Respecting The Growth Of The Mulberry Tree: With Suitable Directions For The Culture Of Silk by Jonathan Holmes Cobb. This work is a practical guide for growing mulberry trees and for cultivating silk in the United States. It covers the selection of mulberry varieties (notably White Mulberry and Chinese forms), soil types, and climate considerations, followed by detailed methods of propagation (seed, grafting, budding, layers, cuttings, suckers) and cultural practices such as planting, pruning, hedges, and leaf harvesting. The volume then delves into the Silk Worm’s lifecycle, diseases, and the operation of the cocoonery, including hatching, feeding, space, and handling of cocoons. It continues with the processes of reeling silk, sorting and cleaning cocoons, producing waste silk, cleansing and dyeing, and finally the manufacture of sewing silk and twist. The Preface situates silk cultivation in historical context and outlines the Hartford County Silk Society’s efforts to disseminate practical knowledge to American farmers.
