GOOSEBERRIES. 



Plant in rows four feet apart and three feet distant in the rows; set them in partial shade and mulch 

 thoroughly. Mildew may be successfully treated by dissolving one ounce of Potassium sulphide in four gallons 

 of water and sprayiug it over the bushes as soon as the buds have opened in Sprmg, and several times during 

 the summer. The varieties I offer are especially free from mildew. 



One year plants will be sent by mail at dozen rates i f desired. Add 50c. per 100 if de.sired by mail at him- 

 dred rates. The 2 yrs. heavy grade are too large to mail. 



Thousand rates will be given upon application. 



Downing. Universally known and always reliable. 

 It is the old standard native sort that has for years 

 been so largely planted for market. The bush is vig- 

 orous, hardy, productive, entirely free from mildew, 

 and succeeds ever5^whore. Berries medium to large, 

 pale o-reen and of excellent quality. 1 yr., doz., 5Uc; 

 100, *2.00. 2 yr., doz., GOc; IOq, '*2..^0. 



INDUSTRY. 



Industry. An European variety, now very popular 

 and largely grown for market. It is a superb sort, 

 and though of foreign origin shows little disposition to 

 mildew, yielding annually immense crops of bright, 

 clean berriies in locations and under circumstances 

 where other varieties in its class have failed entirely. 

 The fruit is enormous in size, dark red and of the finest 

 quality, rich and luscious; see illustration. 2 yrs. 

 heavy, ea., 15c; doz., 11.00; 100, $6.00. 3 yrs., ea., 20c, 

 doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



Keepsake. A superb foreign variety, and one that 

 succeeds finely m this country, without a trace of mil- 

 dew except in unfavorable locations. Fruit very large, 

 greenish-yellow and of fine flavor. It is a good grower, 

 regular and productive bearer, with dense foliage pro- 

 tecting the blossoms from early spring frost. Ripens 

 more than a week earlier than Industry. It is giving 

 great satisfaction and should be included in every col- 

 lection. 2 yrs. heavy, ea., 20c; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



Redjacket. A grand variety of native origin and 

 one of the finest American gooseberries; rivaling the 

 large English varieties in high quality and size of 

 berry; and excelling them by far in vigor of growth 

 and freedom from mildew. Indeed, it may be said 

 to be truly mildew-proof. The plant itself is very 

 attractive, being of such strong, vigorous growth, 

 with bi-ight clean and healthy foliage. It is very 

 hardy and a wonderful cropper, the large branches 

 being covered with its beautiful berries. The fruit is 

 large, smooth, of a rich ruby-red and fine in quality. 

 A superb acquisition to our native sorts. 1 yr., ea. ; 

 15c; doz. $1.00; 100, $6.00. 2 yrs., ea., 20c: doz., $1.25, 

 100, 18.00. 



Houghton. An old, well-known sort, renowned for 

 its productiveness, reliability, and sweet, good flavor. 

 Berries smalt and pale red in color. The small size of 

 its fruit has caused it to be in less demand than many 

 other sorts, but it is an excellent variety and desirable 

 on account of its productiveness and ^fine quality. 1 

 yr., <ioz., 40c; 100,-$1.50. 2 yrs., doz.,"" 50c; 100, $2.00. 



LOGAN BERRY. 



The great merits of this 

 unique berry are now pretty 

 well known, and the fact of its 

 having become popular in so 

 short a time is the strongest 

 kind of an endorsement of its 

 great value. It is thought to 

 be a hybrid between a red 

 Raspberry and a Blackberry, 

 and is truly a remarkable 

 fruit. The berries are of great 

 size — equalling large blackber- 

 ries, which they resemble in 

 form and structure, bvt are 

 deep reddish-maroon in color. 

 In flavor it is rich and spright- 

 ly — a mingling of the rasp- 

 be .ry and blackberry, the 

 raspberry predominating, mel- 

 lowed and refined, yet distinct 

 from either— melting and with- 

 out core. The flavor is so lus- 

 cious, novel and rich, the berry 

 cannot fail to please everybody 

 as a dessert fruit. For canning it is superior to all the other small fruits, and for jellies and jams it is unequalled 

 also. The canes are of strong, vigorous growth, semi-trailing in habit, and are clothed with an abundance of 

 large, dark green, leathery foliage (as shown by the accompanying illustration which was drawn from nature). 

 They are without tbe large sharp thorns of the Blackberry but have numerous flue red spines, like those upon the 

 Red Raspberry, and are propagated by rooting at the tips after the manner of Dewberries and Blackcap Rasp- 

 berries. What gives special value to this novel fruit is its earliness — ripening as it does at the close of the straw- 

 berry season, and in advance of all but the very earliest raspberries — continuing each year to give ripe berries 

 for three weeks and perfecting all its fruit, even the last, to full size, flrmness, color and flavor. 



Price, ea.» 10c ; 3 for 25c ; doz.. 75c ; 100, $5.00.
