Goose benea, bliiicK, white and rod currants are ea'sily propagated by means of cuttings inserted at the present time. Shoots of the ,past summer's growth, ten to twelve inches long are phoseu, and cut beneath a hud to form the liases of the cuttings. On those of red and white" currants and nooseberry. all the budii except two or three ol the uppermost are removed. But all the buds are to be. left on black currant cuttings, The reason lor this is that the black qurrant renews itself annually by shoots which grow from the base. Insert the cuttings in a narrow trench, making firm and covering quite half of each cuttitic with soil
