233 SMALL FRUIT CTTLTTTBIST. 



Among the very newest and !argest varieties which 

 have taken premiums at the great Gooseberry shows in 

 England, I give the following twelve as the heaviest nam- 

 ed in this record : 



RED. Leicester's Smoker, Brother-ton's Foreman, Pilk- 

 in ton's Farmer. 



GREEN. Prophet's Diadem, Becket's Bravo, Brother 

 ton's Birchen Lane. 



YELLOW. Wilkinson's Oyster Girl, Eardlay's Hannah, 



WHITE. Shingler's Edna, Miss Soars, Walton's Annie. 



The heaviest berry weighed 29 dwt. 12 grs. ; and the 

 lightest 16 dwt. 2 grs. 



But to produce berries of the weights given requires 

 extra care, more than probably any of our cultivators 

 would be likely to give to the Gooddbeny, even if our 

 climate was as suitable to its culture as that of England
