194 GOOSEBERRY. 



deep red : rough but thin skin ; shape oval ; pulp 

 sweet and rich. It forms an upright tree ; and the 

 fruit is esteemed in the dessert. 



3. AlcocFs Duke of York, — Early. — Fruit middle 

 size, not so deep a red as the above, nor not so 

 rough. In other qualities (except the growth, 

 which is more spreading) it is much the same. It 

 is a good fruit, and not liable to crack in wet 

 -weather. 



4. Aslitoris Globe, — Late. — A large, handsome 

 fruit, of a bright red colour; skin smooth, but rather 

 thick ; pulp very sweet, and keeps well on the tree 

 after it is ripe. The growth is spreading, and its 

 loaded branches require support. The second thin- 

 ning of this variety are as good for bottling as either 

 the Rombuilion or white Dutch. 



5. Asians Warrington Red, — Latest. — No other 

 gooseberry hitherto raised in England has made 

 better returns to the planter than this. It is of first- 

 rate quality, a great bearer, and hangs longer on the 

 tree than any other ; often being had in perfection 

 in the end of October when properly protected. 

 The fruit is large, oval, rough, not so pulpy as some 

 others, but of a rich flavour. It is a spreading 

 grower, but may be trained more uprightly by care- 

 ful pruning. 



6. Berrfs Farmtrs Glory, — Late. — Fruit large, 

 oval; skin thin, and nearly smooth ; pulp rich; an 

 abundant bearer, and well worth cultivation. Growth 

 very rambling ; and requires much attention when 

 young, to give it good form.
