The Gooseberry* 



These deciduous shrubs are best suited to tlie cooler districts with good soils 

 and ample moisture. The plants can be obtained from cuttings about ISin. to 

 ISiu. long, from well-ripened, strong wood, the buds and prickles being removed 

 from the lower end, as illustrated in Figiu'e 131 (illustrations after Wright), or 

 else by layering. When struck, the cuttings are planted out in rows about 5 feet 

 apart, the rooted cuttings being about four feet apart in the rows.
