PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS. Gooseberries and currants do best 
In a partly shaded place. In the southern states they should be 
planted on the north side of buildings in complete shade. They 
are easy to plant, just set them about an inch or two deeper 
than they have stood in the nursery row. Water freely. Plant 
4 to 6 feet apart. 
In some localities worms eat the leaves of Currants and Goose¬ 
berries. At their first appearance, dust with Slug Shot. It is 
easy to apply, very effective, and contains no poison. Slug Shot, 
see page 62.
