Growing English^iGooscbcrrics 



An interesting address illustrated by spe- 

 [ imen fruits in bottles was given at the 

 conference of the American Pomological So- 

 ciety in St. Catharines last September, by 

 Mr. R. B. Whyte, of Ottawa, on the subject 

 "How to Grow English Gooseberries Free 

 from Mildew." The speaker said that oui 

 native varieties, the Houghton being an ex- 

 ample, are free from mildew and can he 

 grown anywhere. The hybrids, such as 

 Downing, Pearl and Red Jacket, also are 

 free from mildew and are superior in size 

 and quality to the natives; they are the 

 commercial berries of America. The Eng- 

 lish varieties, such as the Whitesmith 

 and Industry, have not been grown with 

 much success in this country owing to their 

 susceptibility to mildew and sun-scald. As 

 they excell all other types in flavor and in 

 size, they should be grown more extensively. 



To grow them successfully they must be 

 planted in clay loam soil, well fertilized and 

 cultivated. To equalize the temperature, 

 which is necessary in the prevention of mil- 

 dew, plant in partial shade of trees, but not 

 directly under them. In very dry weather 

 water must be applied or mulching resort- 

 ed to. A pruning system must be adopt- 

 ed that will keep the bushes oflf the 

 ground, so as to ensure a free circulation 

 of air. Prune fairly closely ; if too close, 

 liable to mildew ; if too open, liable to sun- 

 scald. Prune in September. Among the 

 varieties of English gooseberries, recom- 

 mended by Mr. Whyte are the following : 

 Red-Sportsman, Slaughterman, London 

 Red, Victoria, Crosby ; white- Whitesmith. 

 Triumph, Keepsake ; yellow- Weatherall, 

 Alma; green-Lofty, Green Ocean and Conn.
