THE GARDENING WORLD. 
October 15, 1904. 
small under those conditions in the south, so that the usual 
method of merely thinning out the shoots and shortening any 
weak ones should still be followed. Gooseberries so iiruned 
may not be kept in fertile condition for such a lengthy period, 
but you would be able to get larger berries on the young wood, 
and the numerous branches would serve to shade one another, 
and thus keep the berries in better condition as to flavour than 
they would be if more exposed by severe thinning of the 
branches. 
Gooseberries for Dessert. 
Would you be pleased to name half-a-dozen varieties of Goose¬ 
berry suitable for dessert. (W. M.) 
We presume you desire the varieties more for the sake' of their 
flavour than for size. In that case we should recommend Early 
Sulphur (yellow); Langley Green, sometimes named Glenton 
Green ; Ironmonger or Champagne (red); white - Ironmonger 
and Aston Red. The latter is a berry of excellent quality, but 
is not grown in many gardens according to our experience. As 
a rule Warrington Red, a smooth red berry, is more popular, 
though we scarcely think the flavour is any better than Aston 
Red.
