It is out of the Russians that the New Horticulture must come, 

 even if the fruit is inferior, as the superior hardiness of both wood

Currant Worms -When these pests make their appearance they 

 will first attack the gooseberries. Noticing this some years ago I 

 applied a light solution of paris green- a small teaspoonful to a 

 pailful of water giving them onlj^ a light sprinkling, and saw no 

 more of the worms anywhere that year. Since then I have watched 

 the gooseberries, and dealt with them the same way, the worms 

 never reaching the currants at all. Oliver Gibbs, Jit.
