of the delivered fruit these are the
main points of the story, 'why the
famous berries, from Gooseberry
Ranch, on Summcrville road near
Alicel, are the finest in the Valley.
Some may like fresh strawberries bet
ter now. But don't forget the winter,
and how nice the gooseberry sauce,
the pies and especially the mixed fruit
jellies will taste then. Green goose
berries jell perfectly, with no more
sugar than other fruit. Oan up tho
juice, mix later with early apples
or other sweet fruit. You can't make
this jelly fast enough for the children
ami grown-ups. It's economical,
healthful, delicious. People beggecTi
for 150 gallons of our fruit last year
after the big crop was gone. Order
now of "The Gooseberry Man."
