GOOSEBERRIES AND CURRANTS 
Gooseberries and currants are fruits whose merits for the home garden and local mar- 
ket are not fully appreciated. They are easy to grow, and they occupy only a small 
amount of space. They may be grown on places too shady for other plants, thus per- 
mitting complete utilization of a limited garden area. 
They are very hardy. Heavy, annual crops are the rule, and strong 2 year old plans 
may produce some fruit the first year planted.

CHAMPION GOOSEBERRY. A large, handsome fruit, green in color, thin skinned, 
tender, juicy, and sweet. An immense cropper, and free of mildew. 
POORMAN GOOSEBERRY. Fruit dark red, large and very attractive. Until 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 Champion should be preferred. 
RED LAKE CURRANT. A new red currant, far superior to all other varieties. Berries 
are unusually large, up to 1/2 inch diameter. The clusters are up to 4 inches long 
and are 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. 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRIES 
A tremendous bearer of immense berries, often 2 inches long, and almost seedless. 
They have a delicious sweet flavor, wonderful to eat or to can. 
Boysenberries are trailing vines. Allow canes to trail along the ground the first sea- 
son, protect them during the winter with straw or similar material, and tie them to a 
trellis, fence or stakes the following spring, after cutting them back to about 5 ft. 
After crop is off, canes have to be cut off entirely, new canes coming from the roots 
taking their place. 
Our 2 year old transplanted Boysenberries are beautiful, heavy plants. They usually 
begin to bear the first year planted.
