TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL-FRUIT PLANTS rw ^ ^... Mountain Seedling Gooseberries. New, vigorous and ve-y productive GOOSEBERRIES The Gooseberry is a northern plant, and seldom fruits well south of Maryland except in the high mountain sections. It grows best in a cool climate and moist soil. The plants may be set in rows from 5 to 6 feet apart and 4 feet apart in the rows and cultivated both ways for the first year or two. Little pruning is required and that is mainly to remove the stunted shoots and keep up a supply of vigorous new shoots from the base. Spraying with bordeaux mixture will keep down mildew, but mildew may be prevented in a great measure by keeping the head of the plant open and not allowing it to get crowded with shoots that are not needed. CARRIE. The bush is a vigorous grower, is perfectly hardy and gives an abundance of fine, dark green foliage which is entirely free from both mildew and anthracnose. The fruit is 50 per cent larger than Houghton, turns a deep maroon in color when ripe, and has a most excellent flavor. The plant is nearly thornless and the fruit can easily be picked without gloves. It commences to bear the year after planting and produces a good crop of fruit annually. A ver>- valuable variety wherever Gooseberries are grown. DOWNING. A very large, strong, vigorous grower, unusually free from mildew. It produces great quantities of large, light-colored, tender-skin berries of excellent quality. It is one of the oldest and most widely grown varieties, and is valuable both for home con- sumption and commercial use. HOUGHTON. Ver\' productive; berries of medium size and, for general purposes, one of the best. It is one of the healthiest and hardiest of the Gooseberry family and a variety that almost always produces a full crop, never failing entirely. MOUNTAIN SEEDLING.
