Cultivation of Small Fruit.
The OtdiO Daily Times says: — Mr William Ings, of the Forbury, has this season disposed of forty fur 501 b boxes of black currants and 10 ton oi gooseberries to Messrs Irvine and Stevenson, besides a couple of tons of gooseberries to the shop-*. Of those sold to Messrs [r vine and Stephenson, 3 tons were specially supplied for purposes, the firm finding a market for canned small fruits in the adjacent colonies, where they cannot be grown so favourably. Mr Inas last year disposed of eleven tons of gooseberries, and besides his orchard at the Forbury he has some acres on »/Taieri Plain in small fruits. His Bsare all being brought up to the mess, and the cultivation will no Nloubt be extended year by year. Mr Ings showed us a sample of black I currants which we ihould think have
— _ r — __ . - » never been beaten. The berries were ' the size of small, .grapes, as will be readily conceived when we state • ■ ■• - that there were only 170 to the pound,. The bushes though cacefulfy cultivated had not been subjected to any special treatment, and the fruit ocr- ■ tainly bore testimony to tlje favourable " season we have experienced.
