On the Cultivation, S^c. of Gooseberries. 



Gooseberries are raised from cuttings, or from 

 seed, and some raise them from suckers ; but this 

 last is not a good way, as bushes raised in this 

 manner are more liable to throw out suckers than 

 those which are raised from cuttings or seed. 



The best time for planting cuttings is about 

 Michaelmas, always cutting them from the strong- 

 est and cleanest shoots. The length of the cut- 

 tings should be from six to eight inches, planting 

 them on an East or North border, at the distance 

 of one foot from row to row, leaving them about 

 three inches above ground. By planting at this 

 distance you will be able to hoe and keep them
