CURRANTS. 



This fruit ripens about the time the raspberries go out of bearing. It will remain on the 

 bushes, without injury, longer than any other small fruit, when grown 

 on cool, moist soil. Plant four feet apart, in good soil ; prune out old 

 wood, so that each remaining shoot may have room to grow. Late in 

 May, watch the bushes carefully for the currant-worms. If they ap- 

 pear, dust with hellebore. Manure heavily in autumn, and early in 

 spring spade in the manure. 



A very valuable variety, remarkably productive, 

 with very long bunches of large, rich, red. 

 colored fruit. Compared with the best, it 

 is better in flavor, much less acid, and five 

 times as prolific. One-year plants, 30 cents 

 each, $3.00 per dozen; two-year plants, 50 

 cents each, $5.00 per dozen.

GOOSEBERRIES. 



Being a gross feeder, the gooseberry delights in a deep, rich soil. Planting under partial 

 shade, along fences, or by the side of buildings, in a measure prevents mildew, to which goose- 

 berries are very subject. Mulching is also good, as a preventive. Should the currant-worm 

 appear, use hellebore as directed for currants. Plant and prune as recommended for currants.

Whinham 's In dust r y . 

 This variety originated in the 

 north of England, is of a very 

 robust habit of growth, and 

 is extraordinarily productive, 

 and is suitable for cooking 

 purposes at an early date. It 

 is of enormous size when ripe ; 

 •color dusky red. This is the 

 only Gooseberry of this fine 

 European class that is perfect- 

 ly free from mildew, and as 

 reliable as our own small na- 

 tive sorts. The demand for it 

 is now something astonishing, 

 over half a million plants be- 

 ing sold last year in this coun- 

 try. Prices reduced to 25 



-cents each; $2.50 per dozen. Industry Gooseberry.
