Currants. 



Currants and Gooseberries should be planted on good soil, which must be kept rich and well worked. Trim out the old wood 

 as soon as it begins to decline, and shorten all the young shoots, to keep the bushes in good shape. Sprinkle ashes around the 

 roots occasionally, to keep the borers away. The currant worm may be destroyed by sprinkling the bushes with powdered white 

 hellebore while they are wet with dew. Where it has been applied, the fruit should not be used without first being washed.

Plant in rows 5 to 6 feet apart, 2 to 4 feet apart in the row. Cut the tops off within a few inches of the ground when planted.
