GOOSEBERRIES. 



This fruit requires the same cultivation as the currant. The surest method to prevent mildew is to 

 plant thickly in the rows, and mulch deeply, 6 or more inches with straw, tan bark, coal ashes, etc. The 

 gooseberry is a gross feeder, and delights in a deep, rich soil, given which it will do well if properly cared for.

Enormous (P.) — Those who attach importance to great 

 size in a sti aw berry should be well satisfied with 

 this ; for, as its name suggests, it is enormous. It 

 is a western variety and in general appearance 

 somewhat resembles Bubach No. 5, but the plant is 

 a better grower and the fmit is even larger and 

 very much firmer. Often variable in shape, deep 

 crimson, very glossy, firm and solid ; quality very 

 good indeed. It is excellent for canning, retaining 

 its form perfectly. The plant is a strong grower 

 and abundant bearer, its foliage showing not the

 take a high rank. Early. 25 cts. per doz,, $1 per 100,

 great productiveness and good quality to a remark- 

 able degree, and is evidently one of those sorts that 

 are especially adapted to the amateur and those 

 who grow extra fine berries for market. It is of 

 extra large size, bringing the highest price in 

 market, bright, glossy crimson, and fine in flavor. 

 The plant is strong and healthy, very prolific and 

 on good soil the berries maintain their large size to 

 the end of the season. We feel confident it will 

 give great satisfaction, and all who delight in fine 

 berries should not fail to set at least a few plants of 

 it this season. Early, 25 cts. per doz., $1 per 100.
