TREATISE ON FRUITS. Vll 



GOOSEBERRY. 



BY the cultivation laid down, the fruit- 

 age of the several varieties may be obtained 

 in far greater perfection of size and flavour 

 than by former practice ; together with an 

 easy and certain method of preserving its 

 fruit in full perfection beyond the common 

 season of maturity. Also, a novel System of 

 propagating the several sorts, by planting 

 cuttings taken from bearing trees, when their 

 fruit is fully ripe, by which much time will 

 be saved, and the particular species with 

 certainty be obtained. 



It is easy to infer, that the very same sort 

 of Gooseberry, by different soils and ma- 

 nagement, has produced very different-sized 

 fruit, by the annual exhibitions in many 

 counties.
