GARDENING. 



J 3 



which consists in bending the new growth 

 to the ground and covering the elbow to 

 the tip with moist dirt. 



This is the surest and best method, 

 especially with gooseberries, which are 

 hard to propagate from cuttings. All 

 cuttings should be placed in rich, well 

 prepared soil and thoroughly cultivated 

 the following season. In severe climates 

 protect in winter with a mulch of coarse 

 manure or straw. 



There are some advantages in propa- 

 gating your own plants. You can con- 

 tinue those varieties that do best in 3 - our 

 particular locality and soil. You can 

 transplant them as soon as your ground 

 is properly prepared. You can use more 

 care in transplanting, and fill in the miss- 

 ing hills at leisure. But it is no doubt 

 cheaper to buy plants from reliable 

 growers; and if the work is to be simply 

 mechanical and for dollars and cents 

 only, then do not try to propagate small 

 fruit plants. The fruit garden should be 

 a source of pleasure, profit, inspiration, 

 devotion. It should be one of the strong 

 ties that binds us to home ever after.
