Houghton's Prolific (Amebioan.) — Yigorons kind, free from mildew;, 
vary productive; berries small, red, smooth. 
We -will here state to our customers that we guarantee every of 
the above long list of English Gooseberries to be " true to name;" as 
to the size of our plants, we will add that they are mostly newly 
"rooted layers," the English Gooseberry not growing very well from 
cuttings; this explains both the rather high price of plants (invariably 
25 cts. apiece of "named" varieties), and why they are not better 
rooted. We generally plant rooted layers in nursery rows to obtain 
good sized plants, but this season, most all our plants are " rooted 
layers."
