The Columbus Gooseberry. — Through the kindness of Messrs. EU- 

 wanger & Barry, we give an engraving of a new American seedling gooseberry, 

 said to be of the EngHsh type. We can say nothing definitely as yet concern- 

 ing the value of this variety, for it has not yet been tested, even at the fruit 

 experiment stations of New York or Michigan. The introducers say that it is 

 of large size, oval in form, skin greenish yellow, smooth, of the finest quality. 

 They also describe the plant as a strong robust grower, with large spines, and 

 large, glossy foliage which has not yet shown any trace of mildew.
