CURRANTS. 



There is no other Garden Fruit so easily cultivated as the Currant. All the varieties are un- 

 ommonly productive in any tolerable garden soil. Suckers or shoots from the root, or from be- 

 eath the surface of the ground, should not be permitted. The stems should be kept clear of 

 ranches, at least two feet from the ground ; and the heads should be thinned out a little every 

 /inter, and receive now and then a dressing of manure. When the bushes have attained the age 

 f six or seven years, the fruit becomes smaller and inferior in quality, when it is time to replace 

 hem with young ones.

The cultivated varieties of English Gooseberries, are so numerous, and most of them of the 

 !iame colors so similar, that we have not deemed it necessary to lill up our Catalogue with a list 

 ►f names. Our collection is made up of the best Lancashire sorts of Red, Yellow, Green, 

 Lud White. We import the finest varieties every year, and cultivate such kinds as we find to 

 )e free from mildew in our region. 



Culture. — In the first place, the Gooseberry, to succeed well, must have a deep, rich, and 

 lather heavy moist soil — deep and rich, at any rate ; and it must be kept rich by annual manur- 

 |ngs. 



. Early in winter, they should be properly pruned, by thinning out the superfluous, old wood, and 

 )ome 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 

 me-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 

 ine table fruit. It should be cultivated with care in every garden.
