GOOSEBERRIES, ELAEAGNUS. 127 



N/ OREGON JUMBO. 



From the Pacific coast and like many 

 fruits from that section it is of mammoth 

 size. But large size is not by far its only 

 merit for it has never been known to mil- 

 dew, is very prolific and of high quality. 

 In color the fruit is pale gi'een, rendering 

 it a fit companion for the Industry. We 

 believe it possesses much merit. Ea., 50c; 

 3 for $1.25; doz., .$5.00. 



V RED JACKET. 



A pure native American variety rival- 

 ing the large English varieties in size and 

 excelling them in vigor of growth and free- 

 dom from mildew. Red Jacket is so abso- 

 lutely free from the curse of mildew that it 

 may be said to be truly mildew-proof. The 

 plant itself is very attractive being of such 

 vigorous growth and the foliage so bright, 

 clean and healthy. It is a wonderful crop- 

 per, the large branches being covered 

 with the beautiful berries. The fruit ig 

 large, smooth, rich ruby-red in color, and 

 of excellent quaUty and fine flavor. For 

 several years it has been grown alongside 

 of Industry, Triumph, Crown Bob, White- 

 smith and a dozen other noted English 

 sorts, and whilst everyone of these have mildewed more or less in both leaf and fruit, mildew has never yet ap- 

 peared on Red Jacket. 1 yr., ea., 30c, '^^^r 75c; doz., $2.50. 2 yrs., ea., 40c, 3 for $1.00; doz., $3.50. 



^ CHATAUQUA. 



A white gooseberry which is equal to the largest and finest va- 

 rieties in size, beauty and quality, and excels them all in vigor 

 and yield. It is probably a seedling of an English variety, but 

 shows less tendency to mildew than any other of the foreign 

 type, and it has now been successfully fruited for several years. 

 At the World's Fair, the Geneva Experiment Station showed 

 specimens of almost every known variety of gooseberries, both 

 from Europe and America, but two plates 

 of the Chatauqua overshadowed every 

 other gooseberry on exhibition, in size 

 and beauty, and was equal in quality 

 to the best. The bush is a vigorous, stout, 

 stiff, upright grower and wonderfully 

 prolific. The illustration gives a fair idea 

 of its productiveness. Its fruit is of a 

 beautiful faint yellow color, perfectly 

 free from spines and hairs, averaging in 

 size from 1 to 1% inches in diameter and 

 sometimes \}4, inches long. It is rather 

 thick-skinned, but very sweet and of ex- 

 quisite flavor, 



lyr., ea., 75c; 3 for $2.00; doz., $7.00. 2 yrs.. ea., $1.00; S for $2.50. doz., $9.00. 



ELAEAGNUS. 



Clsagrnus longipes. 



A beautiful shrub from J apan, belonging to the Olive family of plants. It grows to the 

 height of from five to six feet, making a well branched bush of great beauty; leaves 

 longish-oval, bright green above and silvery-white beneath. The blossoms appear in 

 May, in great profusioii. The berries are ripe early in July and are oval in shape, 

 like an olive, and about the size shown in the illustration, often much longer, bright 

 scarlet, very handsome. Like cranberries, the fruit requires cooking, and may be 

 used in the same manner. It is produced in great abundance. The bush is entirely 

 hardy and is free from insect enemies. Its ornamental beauty is beyond dispute. 



The true longipes is a dense, bushy grower, which begins to bear fruit when 

 about two years old and only two feet high. With this has been confused another 

 variety, umbellatus, which is a vigorous-growing, willowy shrub that often grows 

 to the height of ten feet without bearing fruit. The true longipes is the variety we 

 offer. Ea., 25c; 3 for 60c; doz., $2.00 (by mail.)
