L,a Versaillaise Very large, red ; bunch long ; of 

 great beauty and excellent quality. One of the fin- 

 est and best, and should be in every collection. 

 Very productive. 



I^ee's Prolific Black A new English variety. 

 The fruit is large, and of superior quality ; the bush 

 is a vigorous grower and enormously productive, 

 rendering it very profitable. 



White Grape Very large; yellowish-white; sweet, 

 or very mild acid ; excellent quality and valuable 

 for the table. The finest of the white sorts. Very 

 distinct from White Dutch, having a low, spreading

NEW GOOSEBERRIES. 



Down ing 1 Origin, Newburg, N. Y. Fruit much larg- 

 er than Houghton ; roundish, light green, with dis- 

 tinct veins; skin smooth; flesh soft, juicy and very 

 fine. Vigorous and productive. The most valuable 

 American sort. 



Industry Large; oval; dark red, hairy ; rich and 

 agreeable. Although this is a foreign variety it has 

 succeeded admirably on our grounds, where it has 

 fruited extensively for several years. We can con- 

 fidently recommend it, both for the garden of the 

 amateur and the market plantation. The plant is 

 remarkably vigorous and productive, and the fruit 

 large, beautiful and of excellent quality. Where 

 shoots are left long, they fruit to the very tips. We 

 regard it as, on the whole, the best foreign goose- 

 berry ever introduced. 



Miii Ill's Improved From Vermont. Large, oval, 

 light green, with bloom ; flesh moderately firm, sweet 

 and good. Vigorous grower.
