Gooseberries 
Pixwell—The introduction of this variety by Prof. 
Yeager brought in a new era for gooseberry 
growing. Because the older kinds were so hard to 
pick they Were not popular even though the fruit 
was good. The Pixwell bush loses the thorns on 
two-year wood, and the berries have very long 
stems, so picking is no longer a problem. The ber- 
ries are about twice the size of Carrie and super- 
ior in quality. They have many uses, being good 
for jam, jelly, sauce, pie, and when ripe are pleas- 
ant for eating. They keep for a long time which 
is a considerable advantage for busy folks. It 
will pay to plant a few of these. Heavy grade two-
