Industry Gooseberry. 



INDUSTRY GOOSEBERRY. 



A Gooseberrv possessing desirable qualities for table and 

 market has loiig been a desideratum. The best American 

 varieties have failed to satisfy the requirements, being too 

 small and of poor flavor. The foreign varieties, wherever 

 tried, have either mildewed more or less, or they have 

 made an unsatisfactory growth. Hence a large, handsome 

 sort of good quality has been much sought after. "We take 

 pleasure in submitting to the public a variety which we 

 think destined to revolutionize gooseberry culture in this 

 country. Althoucrh a foreign sort, it has done admirably 

 for three seasons, being a vigorous grower and an immense 

 yielder. and showing no signs of mildew. The annexed 

 illustration shows the size of the fruit. We confidently 

 recommend it for the garden and market, being unequalled 

 for size, flavor, productiveness and vigorous growth. Color 

 dark red. 



75 cts. each ; $6.00 per doz. 



Bridgewater, Vt.— " Plants received in fine order ; Begonias are beautiful. I thank you many times."— Mrs. C. S. Raymond.
