GOOSEBERRIES. 405 



Long-Bunched Red, Much like Red Dutch, but with 

 clusters longer and larger, and rather larger fruit ; a 

 strong-growing, productive, and valuable variety. 



Prince Albert. A moderate grower, with large, stiff, 

 deeply-cut foliage, very productive; valued for its late 

 ripening ; fruit light red, large, acid. 



Red Dutch. A well-known variety, generally super- 

 seded by the larger varieties. 



Short-Bunched Red. A strong, upright grower ; ber- 

 ries large ; bunches short ; mild acid. 



Victoria or noughton Castle. Very large, bright red, 

 bunches five or six inches long ; hangs on the bushes 

 after others are gone ; distinguished at once by its remark- 

 ably long bunches and bright red color, and by the 

 foliage, which is quite distinct, dark green, coarsely and 

 bluntly serrated, quite flat, and frequently reflexed or 

 turned backwards at the edges ; the shoots are not so 

 stout and erect as those of the Cherry. 



White Dutch* Yellowish white, transparent, milder 

 than the red, and better for using raw ; excellent. 



White Grape. Larger every way than the preceding ; 

 the largest white currant ; growth rather spreading, foliage 

 thicker, deeper green, and more reflexed. There are sev- 

 eral other sorts under cultivation, of little value, unless to 

 those who arc making large collections for curiosity and 

 experiment.
