The Kinds of Gooseberries 327 



Poorman. Originated along about 1888 with William H. Craig- 

 head, Brigham City, Utah; introduced by D. S. Lohr, Trementon, 

 Utah, in 1896. Said to be a cross between Houghton and Downing, 

 which the bush and fruit indicate to be true. Plants so large and 

 vigorous that they must be set farther apart than other varieties; 

 upright-spreading, very productive, not susceptible to mildew. Fruit 

 larger than either parent, measuring over an inch long and nearly 

 an inch through, oval, pinkish red when ripe, quality excellent. 

 Considered the best of sixty-two varieties grown at the Geneva, 

 N. Y., Experiment Station. 



Portage (F). A variety received at the United States Division of 

 Pomology from A. H. House, Mantua Station, Ohio. Described in 

 the report for 1891, p. 395. Also described, and illustrated by a 

 colored plate, in the report for 1894. Said to be a chance seedling 

 found in 1874. Fruit solitary, evenly distributed, large to very 

 large, oblong oval; surface moderately smooth, dull, slightly downy, 

 with an occasional prickle. Color yellowish green, with bronze dots 

 near stem, and a long suture on some specimens. Flesh translucent, 

 greenish, quite firm ; pulp melting, moderately juicy. A good shipper. 

 Flavor mild subacid, rich, quality good. 



Puyallup (Puyallup Mammoth) (F). The original bush is said to 

 have been dug in 1881, at an old Indian camp on the bank of the 

 Puyallup River, one mile below the town of that name, by W. M. 

 Lee and his wife, of Tacoma, Wash. Introduced by J. M. Ogle, in 

 1887. Said to be a fairly strong grower, rather late in ripening. 

 Fruit large, pale green, smooth, sweet, of good quality. Mentioned 

 in the Report of the U. S. Pomologist for 1891, p. 395, as apparently 

 identical with Triumph, but Professor Beach considers this an error. 



Queen of the Whites (F). A strong grower, comparatively free 

 from mildew. Fruit of medium size, nearly round, smooth, pale 

 yellowish green, sweet, good. 



Red Champagne (F). A strong grower, comparatively free from 

 mildew. Fruit small to medium, nearly round, slightly hairy, dark 

 red, sweet, and good. This variety was recommended by the Amer- 

 ican Pomological Society in 1850. 



Red Jacket (H). A variety originated many years ago by Pro- 

 fessor William Saunders, of London, Ont. Named and introduced
