These Lancashire Berries are for the most part of very spreading growth, and well repay the support of 

 a trellis or even a cool wall. When ripe to a turn they are quite as delicious as many forced fruits. They 

 can be supplied as trained busheB, 9d. to 1/6. 



Our new Gooseberry House contains the best in cultivation, and is worth copying by those who lose 

 their fruits from birds ; made of 1 inch meshed wire netting with iron supports. 



Gooseberries are finer plants than for many years ; for these and currants no better artificial manure 

 can be found than Pish Guano or the prepared Ichthemic Guano. 



We were awarded a Silver Banksian Medal, R.H.S., for a Collection of 48 kinds of Gooseberries, which 

 the report describes as " in remarkably fine condition." 



Catebpillab. — Mr. Ross, the veteran gardener at Welford Park, finds that Gorse, bundled in the main 

 stem (leg) of the Gooseberries, or on the feet of wall bushes, effectually stops the ravages of this insect. 

 Apply in October.

A Kentish Cob Nut, as prepared to form a basin-shaped 

 tree. In some counties nuts are allowed to grow as they 

 please ; but trees close pruned on the Kentish system produce 

 the largest nuts and the heaviest crops. The leg or stem 

 allows the weeds to be cleared away from under the branches. 

 Eilberts are grown in the same way. A Photograph of a
