"One of the trees that gives me tremendous amount of satisfaction is one that is very rarely planted now - the Chinese mulberry, Morus alba. Many of you will probably know it as the chosen food of silkworms. It was not for this purpose, however, that I secured my specimen, but because the clear yellow of the autumn foliage was so appealing, and the fresh bright green of the summer foliage so refreshing. It surely should prove one of the most delightful shade trees for the lawn, for to lie beneath it looking up through the foliage on a hot day is unimagined ease to the eye and mind. The fruit is white and should not become troublesome in the matter of staining one's garments." "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, February 1938.
