Propasatins Bush Fruits.
The fall season is the proper time
to prepare for the propagation of our
hardy bush fruits such as the currant,
gooseberry and raspberry. These
plants are among the most prominent
OF our bush varieties and succeed
much better in northern than in south
ern latitudes. AS reliable garden
plants they have gained a place in the
front rank and should be propagated in
every home garden. 20
The current Is best propagated by
long wood cuttings made In the fall or
spring-the former time Is largely and
we believe opportunity practiced.
These cuttings should be made soon
after the leaves have fallen. At this
time the maximum portion of plant
food Is present in the branches; that
which the leaves held during the grow
ing season having returned to the
branches to strengthen them tor the
process of reproduction the ensuing
spring. .&1''
AS soon as the leaves have fallen,
then, the cuttings should be made.

the base just below the bud. AS soon
as made they should be placed In

cold. In early spring as soon as
growth begins they should be planted

In this manner but the more common
method is by moundlayerage, which
may also be practiced In the propaga-

can be grown from sprouts which
