GOOSEBERRIES. 



This fruit is so useful for cooking when green or ripe, and may be panned witli such facihty, 

 that it is beginning to be cultivated very extensively for both home and market use. Plant lu 

 g-ood, rich soil and give a liberal mulching of manure each j-'ear. In Order, to obtam fine fruit, 

 prune regularly each year. To prevent mildew, spray bushes as soon ^as, lea^res ajjpear and 



ground. The Jrwit is of immense size, often measuring 1% to 2 inches in length, a rich deep red m 

 color. In flavor and quality it is unequalled, being entirely free from the coarseness so often 

 found in the smaller sorts. Another and most valuable -feature of this splendid berry is its 

 hardiness. It has been thoroughlv tested in all sections of America and proven to be per= 

 fectly hardy, standing tlie severe winters of the North without any protection. In addition to 

 this, it is mildew proof, never showing the least sign of Mildew, rot, blight or any other diseases 

 so common to this fruit. It attains a marketable size quite three weeks earlier than any other 

 gooseberry, consequently commands the highest price, and is the heaviest cropping vanety m
