WHAT TO GROW. 19 



Where the district is favourable, one can scarcely go 

 wrong, however, with well-selected plum trees. Such 

 prolific sorts as the " Victoria " will often bear well, even 

 the second and third year after " grafting." But one 

 must be prepared to have an occasional bad season, even 

 with a good many of the best and most prolific sorts. 



In really good situations there are few fruits that are 

 so remunerative as well-selected gooseberries and currants. 

 There are such really good prolific sorts in cultivation, 

 that on well-cultivated ground the returns from these 

 fruits are of the most encouraging and lucrative character. 

 They are certain to find ready buyers if a little enquiry 

 is made of the local retailers in advance, or at the nearest 

 jam factory.
