ith an open exposure to the air and sun. Some growers recommend partially shaded situations, 
but we have generally found a deficiency of flavor in such places. 
The plants or suckers should be planted in rows, four feet apart ; or, in vtry small gardens, two 
and a half to three feet will do, and two and a half to three feet apart in the rows. When planted 
u this way two or three plants are usually put in the " hill'' — forming a clump, or as gardeners < 
call it, a " stool." Some Nurserymen recommend planting in double rows, eighteen inches apart 
n the row, and allow t'.era to run together ; but this " running together," according to our expe- 
rience, is just tne way to obtain small, poor fruit. 
They should be regularly pruned every spring, cutting out all the old, weak, and dead wood 
and surplus shoots, leaving five or six of the strongest suckers ; a few inches of the tops of these 
should also be cutoff where they are weak and immature. The ground should be well spaded 
around them, •end a top-dressing of manure given. The canes should be neatly tie J up to stakes. 
Protection. — In the cooler portions of our State, and in Canada, the Raspberry is liable to be 
killed in the winter. Toiguard against this, the canes, may be ti^d to stakes, and covered with 
straw, or they may be laid down and covered with a few inches of earth, leaves, litter, or branch- 
es of evergreens. 
A Raspberry plantation will last about six or seven years ; a new one should be made in a new 
place. To obtain a crop of late fruit, it is only necessary to produce new wood by cutting down 
the canes in the spring, to within a few inches of the ground.

GOOSEBERRIES. 
Price, 20 to 25 Cents Each ; — $2,00 to $2,50 per Dozen. 
The cultivated varieties of English Gooseberries, are so numerous, and most of them of the 
same colors so similar, that we have not deemed it necessary to fill up our Catalogue with a list 
of names. Our collection is made up of the best Lancashire sorts of Red, Yellow, Green, and 
White. We import the finest varieties every year, and cultivate such kinds as we find to be free 
from mildew in our region. 
Culture. — In the first place, the Gooseberry, to succeed well, must have a deep, rich and rath- 
er heavy moist soil — d^ep and rich, at any rate ; and it must be kept rich by annual manurings. 
Early in winter, they should be properly pruned, by thinning out the superfluous, old wood, and 
some of the new — leaving, on all sides, free access to the light and air — and the form of the bush 
should be well proportioned. Some of the best Gooseberry growers, practice cutting out nearly 
one half of the wood annually, where the bushes are in a thrifty condition. 
The Gooseberry is valuable for Pies and Tarts very early in the season, and when ripe, is a 
fine table fruit. It should be cultivated with care in every garden.
