THOSE v<r *~ties marked L.P. are of very large size, and are known 

 as "Lancashire Prize Gooseberries." For the whole of these 

 descriptions I am indebted to the Horticultural Society's Cata- 

 logue, as I have had no opportunity of personally examining this 

 portion of the fruits of Great Britain.
