Lancashire Gooseberries to Grow for Profit.
The following varieties of large-growing gooseberries have been proved to be among the best in cultivation for pulling unripe for tarta, and cooking in other ways. The demand for this fruit for these purposes is ever on the increase, and it may be of service to readers who have land to spare, and who are otherwise favourably situated for turning the crop into market, to know what kinds are beat Buited for this purpose. It may be remarked that unripe gooseberries pay well, that they travel well, and are not so destructible as ripe fruit, and therefore are not liable to depreoiate from these causes when they arrive in the market. Cottagers land, others near towns wishing to make the most of their gardens should give attention to gooseberries. The beßt kinds for pulling unripe are those which arrive earliest at considerable size, and the following sorts all meet this condition, and are great croppers, which is another first-rate recommendation :— Lord Lee, Rifleman, Long Barney, Duke of Sutherland, Blucher, Lancashire Lad, Thumper, Stockwell, Gretna Green, Triumphant, Tall-ho, and Progress.
