HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 



SMALL FRUITS IN THE HOME GARDEN 



BECAUSE of the prevailing high prices for fruits of 

 all kinds, a berry patch generally proves a most 

 profitable adjunct to the home garden of a permanent 

 nature. A strawberry bed of even small size pays hand- 

 somely, in spite of the fact that it occupies the ground the 

 year around. Grape vines may be trained to fences. 

 Gooseberry and currant bushes may be utilized as boun- 

 dary or division lines or to border the paths, Tree- 

 shaped specimens of both lend themselves particularly 

 well for this purpose. 



Here are the names of some of the best known kinds: 



1. CURRANTS: Black Victoria, Red Cherry, Perfection, 

 Wilder, White Grape. 



2. GOOSEBERRIES: Downing, Houghton, Industry, Car- 

 man, and Portage. 



3. GRAPE VINES: Black Concord, Moore's Early, 

 Red Brighton, Catawba, White Diamond, Niagara. 



4. STRAWBERRIES: New Everbearing Superb and Pro- 

 gressive. Of the common kinds, Dunlap, Gandy, Haver- 

 land, Parsons, Sample, Warfield, Wm. Belt.
