GOOSEBERRIES. 
This fruit is so useful for cooking when 
green or ripe, and may be canned with such 
facility, that it is beginning to be cultivated 
very extensively for both home and market 
use. Plant in good, rich soil and give a lib- 
eral mulching of manure each year. In order 
to obtain fine fruit, prune regularly each 
year. To prevent mildew, spray bushes as 
soon as leaves appear and several times dur- 
ing the season with potassium sulphide, one 
ounce to four gallons of water.

throwing its branches straight out or up- Red Jacket 
right, holding the mammoth berries far above 
the ground. Tbe fruit is of immense sixe, often measuring 1% to 2 Indi-

smaller sorts. Another and most valuable feature of this splendid berry 
is its hardiness. It has been thoroughly tested in all sections of Amer- 
ica and proven to be perfectly hardy, standing the severe winters of the 
North without any protection. In addition to this it is mildew proof, 
; the least sign of Mildew, rot, blight or any other diseases so common to
