eafiiy trained, it grov/s regularly, makes a beautiful ap* 

 pcar<ince, unci is a coiiftint and great bearer. 



No. 4. IVhite Goofeoerry is very large and fmontli, it 

 is very juicy, and its tafte not unplealant. The bu(h grow s 

 regularly, and is a good hearer. 



No. 5. 'The rough round red Goofehcrry is the commoncfl 

 of any : its juice is of a pleafant acid tafte. The bufb grows 

 irregular, and tlie branches have frequent prickles on 

 them : it is a good hearer. 



No. 6. The fmooth red Goofeberry is fo.mewhat fweeter 

 in its tafte than the Rough-red, and the bufli is not fo 

 prickly, neither is it fo good a bearer. 



No. 7. The Bottle'G oof £ berry is a black or dark-red 

 Berry, of a long form, fmooth, and almo(1: tranfparent. 

 Its juice is different in tafle from that of any of the above, 

 and is very agreeable. The bufh produces but few 

 branches, the prickles are rare: it is a bad bearer. 



No. 8. The rough, or rather downy yellow Goofeberry^ 

 which is very late of ripening, in good feafons is a tole- 

 rable frui?, but in bad is watery and four, or in- 

 fipid. Ti e buili is (Iv.iufifli, has many prickles, and is 

 a great bearer. 



7'he beft method of propagating any of the above 

 kinds, is to make choice of a bearing branch with a long 

 flraight fteiii ; cut it off floping from the bufli» and 

 thruft in the cut end five or fix inches into the foil;, on a 

 north afpec^ed border. This may be done any time in 

 the end of September^ in the month oi Oaobery or even 

 till the beginning of Jpril. Cover the ground about 

 your cuttings with litter or dung ; and water them next 

 fprirg and fnmmcr, if the weather is very dry. Such 

 of them as have grown vigoroufly the firfl: year, may 

 be faftly tranfplanted in autumn. But fuch as have 

 thriven but indifferently, you may let fland another 

 year, and then they uill be provided with good roots, 

 and lucceed well when planted. 



In training of them, keep your bufh to a fingle flem, 

 for a foot and an half, or two feet from the fuf- 

 face cf the ground : leave only a few regular branthes 

 at equal dillances on its head. If vigorous iTioots make 

 their appearance when the tree is young, and are ill- 

 placed) break them off from the tree ; which is eafiiy 



done.
