of normal conditions of Russian life

Bush Fruit in City Gardens
and on Farms Should
Be PrHned NOv

Bush fruits in the city gardens and
on the farm should be pruned during
the fall or winter in order to increase
the yield OF berries next summer. The
period between the falling Of the
leaves in autumn and the starting of
growth in spring is the season in
which currants and gooseberries
should be pruned. The ideal currant
bush at which the pruner should aim
has six to eight main branches, while
the gooseberry has eight to II. None
of these branches should be over
three years old. Two or three Of the
main branches OF the currant and
three to four main branches of the
gooseberry should be removed each
season, the older branches being cut
out and a like number of the most
vigorous canes of the current seasons
growth left to take their place. All
other young canes and all canes bent
to or near the ground should also be
removed. If this system is followed
each year after the bushes reach the
age of three years, pruning will be
relatively simple and the plantation
kept in good condition.
