GOOSEBERRIES. 



l-ast season we were unable to offer any gooseberry 

 plants i-xce(it Houghton. I am pleased to say, how- 

 ever, that this .rear wu have a larger assortment and 

 some very nice plants, and will be pleased to have the 

 orders from any of our customers who want gooseberry 

 plant>:. 



DOWNING. — One of the oldest and best. Large, 

 handsome, pale green, and splendid quality ; fine for 

 both cooking and table use. A vigorous grower and 

 usually free from mildew. This is undoubtedly one of 

 the most largely grown of all the large varieties. We 

 were unable to offi'r this last season, but have some 

 very nice plants for this spring's trade. 



FIEAHL. — A cross between the Houghton and some 

 large Englii^h variety. Very hardy, free from mildew, 

 and superior in size and quality. It is claimed to be 

 more productive than the Downin.g and resembles that 

 variety quite a little. 



RED JACKET. — An American seedling of large 

 size; smooth, prolific and hard.v : quality among the 

 best. This variety is well tested over a wide range of 

 territory and has proven very satisfactory. It is a 

 heavy cropper, and has bright green, healthy foliage. 



Comoro Oiuri. 



CONCORD. — An early black variety that does 

 well whcrcv. r planted. Good size, good quality, and 

 very productive.

 large shouldered, compact bunches ; ripens a week later 

 than Niagara. 



HOUGHTON 

 HOUGHTON. — A very productive berry of medium 

 size, and for general purposes one of the best. This 

 variety almost always produces a full crop and never 

 fails entirely. One of the healthiest aud hardiest of 

 all varieties.

 sembles Catawba : very fine free grower and productive.

 popular black grapes grown.
