little earlier in ripening. Premo is a new early sort, and 

 Lucretia is the largest and sweetest. 



Gooseberries. These are of two distinct t5^es, the na- 

 tive and the English sorts. Of the former Downing and 

 Houghton's Seedling are perhaps two of the best. Of the 

 English sorts Industry is perhaps the best suited to our 

 chmate. Golden Prolific and the Pearl, pale green, are fine 

 for eating raw. 



Grapes. These should be selected for color and season. 

 Among the best of the black are Campbell's Early, Moore's 

 Early, and Worden, which is extra large and fine. Concord, 

 Wilder and Eaton are good medium-to-late black sorts. Of 

 the red, Brighton is early, Catawba medium, Delaware and 

 lona late. Of the white, Moore's Diamond and Green 

 Mountain are good early sorts, and Niagara, Empire State, 

 and Pockhngton are medium to late. The latter is really a 

 pale golden yellow instead of white; it is extra large and 

 juicy and one of the most delicious of all grapes.
