GOOSEBERRY CULTURE is similar to currant culture—see pages devoted to cur- rants. Plant early, cutting back tops severely. No fruit is more desirable for the home garden, for sauces, jams and pies. From four rows of gooseberries, perhaps ^00 feet long, we picked eighteen bushels of fruit. We scraped the fruit of the bushes with cloved hands, leaves and all, and run them through a fanning mill the same as beans. Being picked in a green state, they could be handled as easily and safely as potatoes. The gooseberry has been a neglected fruit. Fruit growers have not learned how readily they could be sold, how easily they could be shipped long distances, and how profitable they are. It has recently been discovered that the English gooseberries of large size can be successfully grown in the United States. For Gooseberry Mildew.— Liver of sulphur costs twenty cents per pound. Use one-half ounce to each gallon of water. Apply every ten days, from June 1st to August 1st. Give as much care as you give potatoes to keep off potato bugs, and your large English gooseberry will not mildew. Plant on the shady side of a hill, or fence, or building, or if in the open field, on a northern slope, which is much cooler than a southern slope.—In August last our Superintendent visited the State Experimental Grounds of New York and found Chautauqua, Lancashire Lad, Industry, Keepsake and scores of other large English varieties in full bearing. He also heard of a man who expected to set out 10 acres for fruiting. He evidently knows the value of these large gooseberries.—C. A. Green. It will not be long ere the fruit of the goose- berry will be general in the market. It is a delicious fruit and a fruit that everyone is fond of, a fruit that everyone could have if they have a garden or field. Last seaso
