about three and a half feet apart. The
ground then should be forEed over every
spring where the cultiyatsr capnot reaea,
and no other treatment need be given to
them besides that given the cropped land.
The fancy varieties need more cultivation
and attention.
l have some raspbsrries growing under
apple trees WHARF there is n great deal of
shade, and from their growth they seem to
contradict the common belief that shade is
injurious to these berries. They are Cuth-
berts, and they lrav, yielded mo good
profit every year. Shade proiongs the
ripening period of the berries, but it also
improves the slze and quality Of this Der
ries. Now, this is a great advantage, for
long after the crop planted in the sun has
been gathered Icontinue to pick from the
canes under shade. In this way better
prices are obtained for those grown under
shade. The Cuthbert and Gregg raspber-
ries are splendid fruit, and they will hold
their own against any other variety in the
market. There Ia more trouble in getting
the Gregg raspberries to staff. many dying
unless carefully planted, and the safest
plan is to uss two plants instead of one.
After four years steady bearing, no matter
how liberal the treatment may be, the red
raspberry plantations do better to be
plowsd up. The black ones bear profit
ably longer than the red ones, and the
Greggs Will thus outlive the Cuthbe.t.-S.

The Catalogues Are Teeming With
Lists Of New Varieties Of
Strawberries.
Superiority of Black Currants for
Making a Most Delightful
Jelly.
That Fruit Both Profitable and Easy of
Cultivation Isaspberries Grow
ing in the Shade.

The catalogues have been teeming this
year with new varieties of Strawberries, and
there is hardly a nurseryman that is not
offering one or more new seedlings with
great claims to superiority. The plants are
generally sold at the rate of So a dozen,
while the old and tried varieties can be OBJ
tanned for so or 40 cents a dozen. 1t is
pretty safe to say that not one-half the new
varieties ars worth growing, and further
more there are not many Strawberries that
have been introduced within the last FIVE
years that are any better, if as good, az the
old Wilson, Crescent, Windsor Chief, Man
chester and sharpless. Yet there are many
who have implicit trust in the new varieties
that are coming out every year, md on the
strength of the testimonials accompanying
the new plants they plant out large guam
titles at first. Near to me is q neighbor
who tries the latest novelties in strawber-
ries nearly every year, and he is constantly
tenring up the old plants to make room for
the new varieties, which he plants ID guam
titles. Something, however, is always hap
penine, and he never makes much money
out Of his work.
The black currants are cultivated the
Ao"s Ia any kcoA 1iQAb Al bbiS COuh-
try, and it seems strange that such a fruit
is so generally neglected. The black cur
rants were at one time very popular N
England, and troches made from them
were universally used by singers and speak
ers. There is no fruit grown that will
make a richer jelly and prove of moro
medicinal value in cases of colds and sore
throats. The black currsnts sell for about
alf 90 n "a lab ,nr ~>,.- - -
then tho bushes yisld q much greater
weight. If their culture WIS moro. extended
the demand for them would become mors
universal, And the time Will come when thsY
Will be more appreciated by tho public.
There is general !roft in %currsnts. even
cultivation. They will pay their
way when they are planted on poor
soil and not cultivated, but under
intelligent culture they bring in o hand
some return fer all labor bestowed UPON
them. In respect to the cu1rants, many
o me new varieties introduced within the
past few years are great improvements
uFon the old sorts, which were rather small
in size and less agreenbty favored. Fancy
currents put up in tiny packages always
eommsnd good prices, and the FIRST pickings
Of either the white or rod varieties cnnnot
which can be secured lats. The oid-fash-
Toned Dutch red ourrant Is 4 fine fruit FOL
jelly, and they can generally be sold tol
tive cents = pound. The most proftsbl,
way to grow these oId-fashioned kinds
which are not to BIS sold as fancy frrits, il
to plant them In rows as of apple or pea
trees in the orchard or field. Seven bushe,
can be planted between two trees, allow
ing the apple trees to BIS about thirty-thre'
feet apart. The bushes next to the tree
should be planted about six feet away, an.
then the other bushes could be nlace.
