The fruit, which ripens early, is soft, sweet and luscious throughout with no hard core; ripe before late raspberries are gone. Should, be mulched to keep berries from ground. The most profita- ble small fruit we cultivate. GOOSEBERRIES. This fruit requires the same cultivation as the currant. The surest method to prevent mildew, is to plant thickly in the rows, and mulch deeply with six or more inches Of straw, tan-bark, coal ashes, etc. The price is highly remunerative, and the demand is yearly increasing. The. American varieties are not subject to mildew. Where parties have, for a series of years, mulched gooseberries and currants with coal ashes, they have suffered nothing from the worm or mildew. In mulch- ing be sure the ground is well under-drained, or it is worse than useless. Good cultivation is better than half mulching. Put it on thick. In a dry season the extra amount of fruit will doubly pay for the material used, not to speak of the saving of labor and cleanli- ness of the fruit. DOWNING. AMERICAN VARIETIES. Downing.
