gooseberries. 
This fruit, so popular, large, handsome and delicious in Europe, is beginning to re- 
ceive a little of the attention in America that it well deserves. Like the currant (to 
which it is closely allied), the gooseberry is a gross feeder, and delights in a deep, rich 
soil. Its greatest enemy is “mildew,” which, however, is generally avoided by plant- 
ing in partial shade, as recommended for currants, and by thorough mulching. 
KEEPSAKE. This is one of the latest and most improved English 
varieties. Fruit very large, green, and of the best

should try it. 2 year, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per dozen. Small plants
