42. Princess RoyaL — Early — This gooseberry 

 much resembles the last, but is much larger : it is 

 oval, rough, and has a superior flavour. The growth 

 is pendulous. 



43. Saunders'' Cheshire Lass, — Earliest — This is 

 a famous prize variety. The fruit are large, oblong, 

 and nearly smooth ; the pulp very rich, and much 

 admired in the dessert. The growth is upright, and 

 altogether one of the best prize gooseberries. 



44. Stringer's Maid of the Mill. — Fiate. — This 

 is another excellent prize fruit, and fit for every 

 purpose of the cook and confectioner. The growth 

 is erect, and very suitable for training in any way. 



45. Taylor's Bright Venus. — Early and late. — 

 The fruit is middle size, oval, having a rough thin 

 skin. The quality is really good, and deserves 

 cultivation, the growth being regularly upright. 



46. Wellington's Glory. — Early. — This fruit is of 

 a noble size, and has a high character. It has gained 

 many prizes, and has been much cultivated. The 

 fruit are globular, the skin thin for so large a fruit ; 

 and has the other properties of prolificacy and 

 upright growth, being very suitable for espalier 

 training. 



47. White Dutch. — Late. — A very old and very 

 excellent sort, much in request for preserving green, 

 and also for the dessert when ripe. The fruit are of 

 the middle size, round and smooth : a great bearer, 

 and next to the Rombullion for preserving, and for 

 the purposes of the London Champagne manufac- 

 turers.
