408 BUSH-FRUITS 



Red Jacket. An English variety, entirely distinct from the 

 American Red Jacket. Not a strong 'grower, but promising to be 

 productive and comparatively free from mildew. Fruit large to 

 very large, and often narrowed toward the stem. 



Red Warrington (Aston Seedling). A strong grower, compara- 

 tively free from mildew. Fruit medium to large, oblong, delicate 

 pale red, hairy, sweet, of best quality. Recommended by the 

 American Pomological Society in 1850. Also mentioned in the 

 Horticulturist, Vol. II, p. 341, as the best kind, both in Canada and 

 in England. Said to ripen late and to hang long on the bushes 

 without injury. 



Smiling Beauty. A good grower. Fruit medium to large, 

 nearly round, greenish yellow, sweet, of best quality. 



Spineless. Recently introduced in the United States, by C. 

 H. Joosten, of New York City. It is figured in the Gardener's 

 Chronicle for July 27, 1895, which says : "They are spineless 

 varieties obtained from seed. The first spineless gooseberry, 

 according to the Revue Horticole, 1892:180, was obtained as a 

 chance seedling by M. Billard about 1860. About 1884, M. Ed. 

 Lefort sowed the seeds of this variety, from which he obtained a 

 race of spineless varieties, several of which are described in the 

 Revue Horticole, as above cited. The^variety we figure is a dwarf 

 form, very productive, and with fruit of good flavor. It is the 

 form described and figured by M. Carriere and Madame Edouard 

 Lefort. The varieties are grafted upon Ribes aureum, but the 

 scions soon become free." Whether this desirable novelty will 

 achieve any degree of success in the United States remains to be 

 seen. 



Stockwell. A moderate grower. Fruit medium to large, oblong, 

 smooth, light green, sweet, good. 



Succeed. A fair grower, promising to be productive, and com- 

 paratively free from mildew. Fruit medium to large, oblong, 

 smooth, yellowish green, sweet, good. 



Sulphur (Early Sulphur,). A strong grower, comparatively free 

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

 yellow color, sweet, good. Placed on the list of the American 

 Pomological Society in 1850. 



Sunset. A strong grower, comparatively free from mildew. 

 Fruit medium to large, oblong, nearly smooth, yellowish green, 

 sweet, of best quality. 



Tally Ho. A strong grower, comparatively free from mildew.
