Success with Small Fruits. 



nursery rows, and although in preparation the ground was well enriched, 

 a shovel of compost around the young plant gives it a fine send-off, and 

 hastens the development of a profitable bush. In the field and for market, 





In the Currant Field. 



I would urge that currants be grown invariably in bush, rather than in tree 

 form. English writers, and some here who follow them, recommend the 

 latter method ; but it is not adapted to our climate, and to such limited 

 attention as we can afford to give. The borers, moreover, having but a 

 single stem to work upon, would soon cause many vacancies in the rows. 



Currants are grown for market with large and increasing profits 

 indeed, there is scarcely a fruit that now pays better. The graphic pencil 

 of Miss Curtiss has well suggested the July scenes on Mr. Cornell's place, 

 near Newburgh, one of the largest currant farms in the country.
