GOOSEBERRIES. 



Plant in rows four feet apart and three feet distant in tlie rows. Tlie directions given for currants 

 apply equally to gooseberries. The greatest enemy is mildew, which, however, may be generally 

 avoided by planting in partial shade and by thorough mulching. Mildew is now successfully treated by 

 dissolving one ounce of potassium sulphide (liver of sulphur) in four gallons of water and spraying it 

 over the bushes as soon as the buds have opened in spring, and several times during the summer. The 

 varieties offered are seldom attacked by mildew. 



One-year plants will be sent by mail at dozen rates if desired. Add 50c. per 100 if to be sent by mail at 

 hundred rates. The two-year plants are too large to mail. 

 Hundred and Thousand rates will be given u|)on a|)[)llcatlon.

CRANBERRIES. 



CULTURE. Prepare the soil, if wet 

 and spongy, by draining away the sur- 

 plus water to 10 or 12 inches below the 

 surface ; remove the topsoil, make level, 

 and cover with two or three inches of 

 sand. Plant two feet apart each way 

 (requiring 10,000 slips per acre) with 

 dibbles, leaving a top of one to one and 

 a hdJl inches above ground. The slips 

 root readily, even when apparently dead 

 from drying ; if placed in water 12 to 24 

 hours they will revive and grow. Flood 

 the plants at approach of winter, keep- 

 ing them covered until after freezing 

 weather in spring.
