PRUNING GOOSEBERRIES.
It is best to get the pruning of gooseberries done where many bushes are grown. Severe pruning is quite out of place in regard to gooseberries. The old plan of shortening nearly all growths has been proved to curtail the crop, though it may result in the production of very fine berries.
