Gooseberries 



One year plants hy mail at each and dozen rates, if desired. Add 50c. per 100 to hundred rates if to go hy 

 mail. Two year plants are too large for mailing. 



During the past four or five years, the growing of Gooseberries has been exceedingly profitable; some 

 growers realizing more than $1,000 per acre in a season for the crop. Their culture is decidedly simple and 

 all the varieties offered are entirely hardy without protection. Plant in rows four or four and a haK feet 

 apart and three feet apart in the row. Use fertilizers or stable manure freely. 



J CARRIE GOOSEBERRY 



CARRIE GOOSEBERRY SOMEWHAT REDUCED 



A marvel of productiveness and a good Gooseberry in every respect. Originated in Minnesota (hence 

 • of ironclad hardihood) and is said to be a cross between the Industry and Houghton— inheriting the valuable 



properties of fruit of the Industry and vigor, freedom from mildew and increased productiveness of the 

 Houghton. When fully ripe it is of deep maroon color, of the highest quality and the finest variety for 

 jams, jellies and canning. 



I have fruited the Carrie for three years and with me it has sustained every claim made for it. It is a 

 strong grower and its yield is simply enormous. The berries are of fair, though not of large, size, and of ex- 

 cellent quahty. In my humble opinion, it is much the 

 best Gooseberry, all things considered, to date and 

 is destined to become the Gooseberry of the future. 



At the recent meeting of the New Jersey State 

 Horticultural Society, this variety was referred 

 to as follows: "The Carrie Gooseberry referred to 

 in a previous report has, I think, much value for 

 New Jersey. It belongs to the red class, such as 

 the Houghton, Josselyn, etc., but is distinct in 

 character from any other I know. It is of strong 

 spreading habit, the berries not so large as those 

 of the popular Josselyn or Red Jacket, but the 

 yield is more than twice as great and the quality 

 is of the highest." — From report of committee on 

 New Fruits. 



It is such a strong grower the one-year plants 

 I offer are as large and well rooted as two-year 

 plants of other varieties usually are.
