DES CRIPT ION. 
A Magnificent Variety that Has Created a Greater Sensa- 
tion than Anything In the Fruit Line that Has Ever 
Been Introduced. 
It grows in upright tree form throwing its branches 
straight out or upright, holding the mammoth ber- 
ries far above the ground. The fruit is of Immense 
Size, often measuring lyi to 2 inches in length, a 
RICH deep red in color, and resembles more a peach 
or red plum than a gooseberry. In flavor and qual- 
ity IT is unequalled, being entirely free from the 
coarseness so often found in the smaller sorts. 
Another and most valuable feature of this splendid 
berry is its hardiness. It has been thoroughly tested 
in all sections of America and proven to be perfect- 
ly HARDY, standing the severe winters of the North 
without any protection. In addition to this IT IS 
mildew proof, never showingthe least sign of mildew, 
rot, blight or any other disease so common to this 
fruit, h attains a marketable size quite 3 weeks 
EARLIER THAN ANY OTHER GOOSEBERRY, consequently 
commands the highest price, and is now generally ad- 
mitted to be the heaviest cropping variety in cultiva- 
tion, and is much prized in the green state. 
It has never been known to fait in producing a splendid crop, 
even in seasons when other varieties were blanl<. This Gooseberry 
has a peculiar advantage over others by coming into leaf some- 
time before it flowers, consequently the foliage protects the bloom 
from destructive spring frosts. Indeed, taking everything into con- 
sideration, it is a gooseberry In the highest state of perfection and 
a variety that every gardener, fanner and fruit grower in America 
should have.
