A66357	Virginia's discovery of silke-vvorms, with their benefit and the implanting of mulberry trees : also the dressing and keeping of vines, for the rich trade of making wines there : together with the making of the saw-mill, very usefull in Virginia, for cutting of timber and clapbord, to build with-all, and its conversion to other as profitable uses.	Williams, Edward, fl. 1650.	1650 (1650)	Wing W2659; ESTC R235035	55,527	81
