GOOSEBERRIES. 



The crop of gooseberry plants for this spring's trade 

 is exceedingly small. I can furnish a good quantity of 

 Bice plants of the Houghton seedling by the 100 and 

 1O00 this spring. We will have Downing Red Jacket 

 and Pearl nest fall. 



HOUGHTON.— A very productive berry of me- 

 dium 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 and hardi- 

 est of all varieties. SI. 00 per 12 : $3.50 per 50 ; S6.00 

 per 100. 



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. The most largely grown of 

 all the large varieties. No plants until fall, 1909. 



PEARL. — A cross between the Houghton and the 

 large English variety. Very hardy, free from mildew, 

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

 more productive than Downing. No plants until fall. 



RED JACKET. — An American seedling of large 

 size, smooth, prolific and hardy ; quality among the ~ 

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

 territory and has proven very satisfactory. It is a • 

 heavv cropper, and has bright green, healthy foliage. * 

 No p'lants for sale until fall. 1909. g 



GRAPES. 



MOORE S EARLY.— This is a large, black va- 

 riety, ripening a week earlier than Concord ; berries 

 large, good quality, and very productive. This is espe- 

 cially valuable as an early variety. 



WORDEN. — This is a valuable black variety, 

 ripening before the Concord ; berries large, of good 

 quality, and thin skin. It is perhaps one of the most 

 popular black grapes grown. 



Concsbo Gaap^ 



BRIGHTON. — A large bunch and berry, red, re- 

 sembles Catawba ; very fine free grower and productive. 



DELAWARE. — A small red berry, compact 

 bunches, very delicious : always brings the highest 

 price in market, and always considered the best for 

 home use. It has no superior in quality.

 ductive, especially recommended for home garden.

 variety and one that should be in every garden.

 large shouldered, compact bunches ; ripens a week later 

 than Niagara.

 tive, and fine quality.

 well wherever planted. Good size, good quality, and

 of good standard, reliable varieties that are sure to 

 give an abundance of fruit, covering the entire season.
