Propagation : by Cuttings. Large, 

 straight, and healthy young shoots should 

 be procured at the end of autumn, and 

 these may be shortened to about fifteen 

 inches in length, cutting away the weaker 

 portion the point. All the eyes or buds 

 must be cut out, except the four top ones, 

 in order to prevent the future plant from 

 producing suckers. These should be 

 planted in any ordinary garden-soil, in a 

 light situation, but not too sunny. Plant 

 about four inches deep, and keep them 

 tolerably moist during spring and early 

 summer. Cuttings of young growing 

 shoots, also, strike readily under a glass. 



Layering is performed as with other 

 deciduous shrubs ; if in the old wood, at 

 the same period as the cuttings, and for 

 the same reasons ; if in the young shoots, 

 when they have acquired some strength, 

 about the beginning of July. 



Seed. This is the source whence new 

 varieties may be obtained. The seed 

 being washed out of the pulp when ripe, 

 may be sown immediately ; and in the 

 ensuing spring, if the plants can be 

 early subjected to a slight bottom warmth, 

 they will be a foot in height in the first 

 summer, and may, with good management, 

 be brought to bear, some in the second 

 year, and all in the third. 



Soil. A deep, sandy loam is best 

 adapted to the gooseberry. Any free 

 garden-soil, of average quality, will pro- 

 duce them in tolerable perfection, if well 

 manured, and, above all things, freed 

 from excess of moisture. Gooseberries 

 will never thrive in stagnant soil; they 

 will become hide-bound speedily, and 

 their stems covered with moss. Never-
