five feet apart. Keep free from weeds and grass by 
cultivation and mulching. Use plenty of manure and 
trim out .superfluous wood by cutting back the new 
growth two-thirds each year. Sprinkle ashes around 
the roots occasionally to keep out borers. If currant 
worm appears, dust with hellebore.

sometimes measuring one-half inch in
