 good quality; bush vigorous, hardy and prolific.

 able for market and the home table.

 riety; fruit smooth, red, tender and very good; 

 bears abundant and regular crops. Free from 

 mildew and sure to bear a crop even under neg- 

 lect. Good only for home use as it is too small 

 for market. 



Josselyn. — (Red Jacket.) The plants are 

 strong, clean growers. An American seedling of 

 large size; smooth, prolific and hardy, of best 

 quality. Has been well tested over a wide extent downing. 



of territory by the side of all the leading varieties, and so far the freest 

 from mildew, both in leaf and fruit, of them all. A wonderful cropper, 

 with bright, clean, healthy foliage. Valuable for commercial purposes 

 and the home table. 



Pearl. — An exceedingly prolific variety that has been well tested and 

 ranks No. 1 in healthfulness, vigor of growth, freedom from mildew and 

 productiveness. Same color as Downing; seems to possess all the good 

 points of that variety with a little larger fruit and rather more prolific. 

 A splendid market variety.

 being unsurpassed by any other variety for table use or cooking; bush 

 moderately vigorous and exceedingly productive. Especially valuable for 

 home use. 



ENGLISH VARIETIES OF GOOSEBERRIES. 



This family of Gooseberries are much more susceptible to mildew 

 than the American sorts, they are, however, fine, large fruit of high quali- 

 ty and command the highest market prices. 



Industry. — The best English Gooseberry 

 yet introduced. Of vigorous, upright growth, 

 greatest cropper and more free from mil- 

 dew than any of the English varieties; ber- 

 ries of the largest size, one and one-half 

 inches in diameter, and one of the most ex- 

 cellent flavor, both pleasant and rich; color, 

 when fully ripe, dark red. One of the lead- 

 ing market sorts and probably grown more 

 extensively than any other single variety; 

 also valuable for home use. A plant 

 of the Industry in full bearing is a most 

 wonderful sight and not soon forgotten. 



Keepsake. — Fruit very large, straw col- 

 ored, of excellent flavor; carries well to 

 market. Bloom is weir protected by early 

 foliage, making it one of the surest crop- 

 pers. One of the best English sorts for
