On the Cidtivatiori oV. of Gooseberries^ 



Gooseberries are raised from cuttings, or from seed, and 

 some raise them from suckers ; but this last is not a good way, 

 as bushes raised in this manner are more liable to throw out 

 suckers than those which are raised from cuttings or seed. 



The best time for planting cuttings is about INIichaelmas, 

 always cutting them from the strongest and cleanest shoots. 

 The length of the cuttings should be from six to eight inches, 

 planting them to an East or North aspect, at the distance of one 

 foot from row to row, leaving them about three inches above 

 ground. By planting at this distance, you will be able to hoe 

 and keep them clear of weeds. Water them frequently in dry 

 weather during the spring. 



The Methods of Planting Gooseberries are i-arious. 



The Market-Gardeners about London plant them in rows 

 from eight to ten feet apart from row to row, and six feet from 

 plant to plant in the rows. In that case, I advise pruning them 

 in the beginning of October, and the ground between may be 

 planted with Coleworts or Beans for a spring crop ; by so doing.
