The Columbus Gooseberry. 



This is one of the most valuable introductions of recent years in small fruits, and it fully 

 sustains the high opinion first formed of it, as will be seen from the reports given below 

 from high and competent authoritv. It was introduced by us a few years ago. The fruit is 

 of largest size, handsome, of a greenish yellow color, and the quality is excellent. The 

 plant is vigorous and productive and does not mildew. It merits a place in every garden. 

 50 cents each, $4 per doz. 



THE P. BARRY PEAR. (Reduced I 



The Editor of the Rural New Yorker says : " It is the best variety yet introduced and seems close to 

 a perfect Gooseberry for our climate." 



Again, in the issue of the same paper, July 21, 1894, he says : " There seems little to be said that has not 

 already been said respecting- Gooseberries at the Rural Grounds. Columbus is, this season, all that it 

 was last. We have three bushes all laden— overladen— with large, smooth berries, as large as the aver- 

 age foreign kinds. There is not a trace of mildew upon either fruit or foliage, and the Columbus seems 

 to us this year, as last, the best variety in the market for those with whom the foreign kinds do not 

 thrive." 



THE COLUMBUS IN CANADA. 



From the Canadian Horticulturist, January, 1895: 



A corresponde at writes: "I planted this variety in the Spring of 1893. They fruited that year, just 

 enough to show the form and quality. This year the bushes were heavily loaded, and the fruit was of 

 the best quality, very large in size, oval in shape quite smooth and greenish yellow in color. It is greatly 

 superior to the Industry. No trace of mildew, and a most abundant bearer."
