If tle supply of fresh fruit ever catches up to the demand the surplus may be turned into pre- serves. All loss is thereby avoided. and profits are doubled. Berries are valuable products on simall farms, as the bushes usually may occupy ground which is otherwise ul- most worthless. They may fill up fence corners or the idle spaces in or chards. It is seldom necessary to use a choice bit of land for these crops, but the return can be safely reckoned at the rate of $150 to $250 an acre. This | extra money is picked up in time which can be spared from the principal crops of the farm. Spring planting is safe and is quite generally favored. In selecting plants one needs to con sider ripening and shipping qualities. A grower wishes both early and late berries. For instance, the Plum Farm- er black raspberry ripens early and is a delicious fruit. thick meated, julcy and sweet. They pick easily and stand up and carr well. In quality, firmness and produ tiveness they are all that could be de- sired. The plants are hardy and vig- orous. Then the Gregg is a late fruiting black raspberry of fine quality. This is one of the best known late berries. It 18 a good shipper and is an excel CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRIES BELONG IN THRE GENERAL GARDEN SCHEME. lent variety for evaporating. Berries are large, regular, glossy black, with grayish bloom; quite firm, sweet and of the best quality, with that delightful flavor which distinguishes the blacls ragpberry. These berries give early and late supplies and will always seli at high prices to town customers. There is a medium berry also which may be worked into the program. This helps to make a full and profitable sea- son. The Cumberland is a fine, large |3 berry, ripening in midseason. This is the largest of the raspberry family and is of such a handsome appearance that it is sure to bring the top price. Bushes are healthy and vigorous. The Cuthbert has long been regarded as the best of all red raspberries, not only on account of its fine shipping qualitles, but for its size, color and richness of flavor. The plant is a strong grower, with healthy foliage. The Cuth- Lert is one of the reliable varieties that can be depended on to bear a profitable crop of berries nine seasons out of ten. St. Regis is the only variety of rasp- berry that gives a crop the first year the plants are set out, and it gives two crops every year afterward. St. Regis begins to ripen In June and continues to bear fruit until frost. This is truly an everlasting red raspberry. The ber- ries are large, bright crimson of the highest quality, with true raspberry flavor. It cannot be surpassed as a ta- ble fruit. No garden is complete with- out raspberry bushes, and'a full acre may well be devoted to berry culture. There are three distinct classes of raspberries—red, purple and black. They do best on sandy loam, but will grow in any soil that is fairly well drained. Set the bushes in rows about six feet apart and three feet apart in the row. The cane should be kept well cut down to five or six of the strongest near the parent plant. Cut out and burn all the old canes as soon as they are through fruiting. The Rathbun is a leading blackberry It is luscious, of the highest quality, with a fine polish and sufficiently firm to carry well. A large proportion of these berries will measure one and one- half inches in length. They cannot be surpassed for table or canning pur- poses. The plant is a strong, erect grower and, unlike most varieties, pro- duces few suckers, but roots from the tips, like raspberries. The blackberry is hardy, having sustained a tempera- ture of 15 to 18 degrees below zero without harm. By midsummer it can be trained in tree form. Currants and gooseberries belong in this same general garden scheme and are highly profitable. They should be mulched every spring and well pruned, so that new wood may have a chance to grow. The ground about them should be kept in good condition by manure and cultivation. Kill worms with powdered hellebore. Give plants winter protection. Take advantage of a want ad.
