The small Fruit, such as Strawberries, ilaspberries, 

 Blackberries, Gooseberries, Currants, etc., ripening from 

 the first of June till Fall, are everywhere capable of suc-

 small expense. They should have a place in every garden.

 can be had throughout the year almost as fresh as when 

 gathered.
