Gooseberries 
A very popular fruit, especially with our foreign element. The fruit can 
be canned or preserved, green or ripe, depending on the taste. Many pople 
like ripe gooseberries to eat out of hand. 
The plants should be set about 3 feet apart in the row. with rows 5 to ti 
feet apart. They should be freQuently hoed and cultivated to stimulate a large, 
healthy growth early in the season. They will begin fruiting the second year 
and continue every year as long as well cared for. To keep the worms from 
eating the leaves in early spring, the plants should be liberally sprinkled with 
hellebore or Paris Green water. To prevent blight, spray liberally with T^or- 
deaux mixture or lime and sulphur.

Grapes 
This fruit requires a sunny location, so plant on the south side of buildings, 
fences, and to cover unsightly objects. There is hardly any location but what 
will ripen the early and more hardy kinds and every farmer and houseowner 
should have a supply for home use. The varieties we list arc adapted for 
the North. They seem to do best near buildings where the soil is rich, loose 
and mellow. Plant the vines from 6 to 10 feet apart each way, spread out the 
roots and cover them with 0 inches of mellow soil. Keep clean of weeds and 
the vines well trimmed. 
Pruning.—When the vines are set they should be cut back to within two oi’ 
three buds from the root. In November, after the leaves have fallen, or very 
early in spring before the sap has started, they should be pruned liberally. In 
pruning rather tender vines, leave more wood than is needed, as some may
