GOOSEBERRIES AND CURRANTS 
Gooseberries and currants are fruits whose merits for the home garden and local 
market are not fully appreciated. They are easy to grow, and they occupy only a 
small amount of space. They may be grown in shady corners or under trees too shady 
for other plants, thus permitting complete utilization of a limited garden area. 
They are very hardy. Heavy, annual crops are the rule, and strong 2 year old plants 
may produce some fruit the first year planted.

DOWNING GOOSEBERRY. A large, handsome fruit, green in color, thin skinned, ten- 
der, juicy, and sweet. An immense cropper, and free of mildew. 
POORMAN GOOSEBERRY. Fruit dark red, large and very attractive. Untii one is 
acquainted with the Poorman gooseberry, one does not realize how delicious a 
gooseberry may be. It requires a rich soil, and does not grow well on very light, 
sandy soils, where Downing should be preferred. 
RED LAKE CURRANT. A new red currant, far superior to all other varieties. Berries 
are unusually large, up to 4% inch diameter. The clusters are up to 6 inches long 
and filled out to the top with 8 to 10 juicy melting berries on each cluster. 
WHITE GRAPE CURRANT. White currants are fine for dessert because of their mild 
flavor. You will like to eat them. 
ASPARAGUS 
It takes only a little room to grow your own asparagus. 100 plants, set 1 ft. apart, will 
provide an average family supply.
