m TREATISE ON THE CULTURE AND 



always cutting them from the ftrongeft and cleaned fhoots. 

 The length of the cuttings lliould be from fix to eight inches, 

 planting them on an Eaft or North border, at the diftance of 

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

 above ground. By planting at this diftance, 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 Goofeberries are various. 



The Market-Gardeners about London plant them in rows 

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

 from plant to plant in the rows. In that cafe, I advife 

 pruning them in the beginning of October, and the ground 

 between may be planted with Coleworts or Beans for a Spring 

 crop ; by fo doing, there will be no occafion to tread over 

 the ground and hurt the Coleworts in pruning the buihes; 

 for, before the Goofeberries begin to fhoot, the Coleworts will 

 be all cleared off the ground. 



After this time (or before if you find it convenient) lay a 

 good coat of rotten dung on the ground ; then dig it and 

 plant early Potatoes ; but not fo near to the Goofeberries as 

 to hurt them. 



The roots of Goofeberries fhould always be kept clear to 

 admit the fun and air. In fmall Gardens I would recommend 

 planting them in quarter by themfelves, at the diftance of 

 fix feet between the rows, and four feet from plant to plant ; 

 or you may plant them round the edges of the quarters, about 

 three feet from the path; you will then have the ground 



clear
