Gooseberries 
A fruit that is growing in favor in 
this country, especially in demand 
among our foreign population. The 
fruit can be canned or preserved, 
green or ripe, depending upon the 
taste. Many people like ripe goose¬ 
berries to eat fresh. 
Gooseberries require much the 
same cure as currants, and thair 
habits are very similar. They will 
begin fruiting the second year and 
continue to bear good crops so long 
as good cultivation is given. Worms 
will eat off the foliage and render 
them unfruitful unless care is taken 
to destroy them before they do much 
damage. IJse Paris Green or Helle- 
boro. To prevent gooseberry blight, 
spray with Bordeaux mixture or 
Lime and Sulphur.

variety, of pure American origin, 
comes from the State of Minnesota, 
where it has made itself very popu¬ 
lar. We have had it growing for 
Perfection Currants 
Perfection. A new variety of great merit. 
We have fruited it several years and consider 
it the best variety of currant now before 
the public. It is productive, extremely large, 
larger than any other and. picks easily. 
The picture of this currant shown herewith 
was made from a photograph taken at 
the Geneva N. Y. Exp. Station in July, 
1901. It is a seedling from a cross of 
Fay and White Grape, resembling both 
in many respects. The flavor is very 
fine. In size it exceeds Fay. Prob¬ 
ably the most popular currant now 
before the public. It has won medals 
and diplomas wherever placed on 
exhibition. 20c each; dozen, $2.00;
