currants Keep on Growing for Years

planting as described above. But this
cause the callousing and roofing in the
fall is just so much time gained, and
if dry period should chance to come
before roots have started only a small
percentage of the cuts will grow.
If you plant on rich soil and give
good culture you will at the end of the
first season have sturdy bushes one
foot or more in height and sometimes
two or three shoots.
GOoseberry bushes are also frequent
ly grown from cuts as described for
currants. But this is not the best
method. BY far the best method to in
crease the goOseberry is the killing
system. This is an early summer job,
say mid June to mid July, according
to latitude. Take a single bunch Of
bushes or a row Of them, as the case
may be, and bank them up with loose
earth.
Make the bank broad enough so that
each shoot may retain its natural pO-
sition and make it high enough so that
only three or four inches of the tops
will stick out above the bank. Put In
earth enough so that after it settles
the sitl..t zion will not be materially
changed. If this is well done and the
season is reasonably wet every branch
will send out roots and you will have
as many bushes as you have shoots in
the bunch.
These may be taken away in the
fall or early spring and planted where
they are to remain.
To make assurance doubly sure
make the bank very broad so that 1t
cannot dry out. That is all you need.
Plenty of moisture and good, thrifty
bushes and you can grow gOoseberry
plants by the thousand.
