Plant in rows four feet apart and three feet distant in the rows . The directions given for Currants will 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 sul- 

 phide (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 oif ered ai-e seldom attacked by mildew.
