CURRANTS. 
Currants and Gooseberries should be planted on good soil, which 
must be kept rich and well worked. Pew fruits will live under such 
neglect, and very few so thoroughly repay for good and projier treat- 
ment. Trim out the old wood as soon as it b"i,dus to decline, and 
•shorten all the young shoots, to 
keep the bushes in good shape. 
Sprinkle ashes around the roots 
occasionally, to keep the borers 
away. The Currant worm may be 
destroyed by sprinkling the bushes 
with powdered white hellebore 
while they are wet with dew. This 
powder is poisonous, and, where 
it has been applied, the fruit should 
not be used without first being 
washed.
