Chestnut Hill, 



GOOSEBERRIES, continued 



Smith's Improved. Large, light green, firm. Moderately vigorous and 

 exceedingly productive. Requires good soil, and is unsurpassed for table use 

 and cooking. 



Chautauqua. This white Gooseberry is of the finest quality and size, and 

 excels in vigor and yield. Probably a seedling of some English sort. The 

 bush of the Chautauqua is a very vigorous, stout, stiff, upright grower. It 

 should not be planted closer than 4 by 6 feet apart. Its leaves are large, glossy 

 and dark green. Its fruit is of a beautiful color, perfectly free of spines and 

 hair, veined and translucent, averaging in size I to I Y* inches in diameter. It 

 is rather thick-skinned, but very sweet and of exquisite flavor. 



GRAPES 



Plant 8 feet apart. No fruit gives more satisfactory returns for the care 

 bestowed upon them. They require a deep, rich, well-drained soil. They can be 

 trained on stakes, but a wire trellis is found the most satisfactory. Prune closely 

 each spring, before the buds break, leaving but two or three eyes of the past year's 

 wood. Wood-ashes and ground bone are excellent fertilizers.
