Tf nPYTUYT Bramble fruit like blackberries, rasp- 
wberries, etc., should have all old 
wood (older than the previous season’s growth) cut out 
close to the ground each spring and the past season’s 
growth should be trimmed back to 3 or 4 feet in height. 
All of the old canes should be removed and burned. 
Mulching of currants and gooseberries will give good 
results. A strawberry bed should have a light coating two 
inches deep of coarse hay, or straw that is free from weed 
seed, after the ground has just frozen ; and in the spring 
just about the time growth starts, this covering should be 
raked between the rows and allowed to remain there until 
the fruit has been harvested. Then it should be removed 
and cultivation be resumed. 
CURRANTS 
Hardy, easily cultivated; popular for table use, jellies, 
etc. Set 4 feet apart in rich ground ; cultivate well and 
prune out old wood. Dust 
with hellebore, for worms.
