GOOSEBERRIES, continued. 
INDUSTRY. A new variety of foreign origin, which has created a sensation everywhere ; productive of 
exceedingly large fruit of dark red color and delicious quality. Highly recommended, both in this country and 
Europe. We have fruited the Industry for years. It is cer- 
tainly one of the largest Gooseberries on the market, and one 
of the best. 
PEARL. This is a very desirable American variety, a 
cross between Houghton and one of the large English va- 
rieties. It is very hardy, entirely free from mildew ; superior 
in size and quality and more productive than the Downing, 
and is likely to supercede this standard sort. From the many 
flattering testimonials of this new berry from most of the lead- 
ing horticulturists, we have pleasure in recommending this 
variety for small or extensive planting as one of the best 
berries of recent introduction. 
Red Jacket. As large as the largest; berry smooth; 
very prolific and hardy; quality and foliage the best. For 
seven years it has stood close to Triumph, Crown Bob, White 
Smith, Smith’s Im- 
proved, Downing, 
and a dozen other 
(English) sorts ; and 
while all these have 
mildewed more or 
less in leaf and fruit, 
mildew has never 
industry. yet appeared on Red 
Jacket. We need 
this Gooseberry, which can be grown in our own country, to take the 
place of sorts which mildew so much that neither plants nor fruit can be 
grown, except in a very few localities in America. 
Lancashire Lad, This is another variety of the English type, and 
is claimed to be superior to Industry, being of a brighter and clearer red, 
almost smooth and very large. The bushes are productive, not inclined 
to mildew, and strong growing. One of the best dessert berries, first- 
class in quality. 
Chautauqua. A'supposed cross between the American and English 
varieties. It is not so subject to mildew as the English type. Bush 
stout and vigorous, having the usual complement of thorns ; foliage 
large, glossy, dark green. Berries large, often i to J Zz inches long; 
color pale yellow ; sweet, but rather thin skinned. Very productive. 
Golden Prolific. One of our largest and best native varieties. It 
originated in New York state, and is supposed to be a seedling of an 
English variety. It is remarkably free from mildew, a good, vigorous 
grower, and a heavy bearer ; foliage dark green ; berries large, hand- 
some, golden yellow ; very attractive. 
Columbus. A new yellow variety; very 
prolific, free from mildew, and said to have 
larger fruit than Industry. Promises to be a 
valuable variety. 
Houghton. The old well-known sort ; pale 
red, sweet and good. Houghton gives us annual 
crops of good-sized fruit ; it is enormously pro- 
ductive, does not mildew, and is in every way red jacket. (Reduced ) 
worthy of a place in every garden. 
Downing. A very popular ’Gooseberry ; large, pale green, of good quality; bush 
vigorous, hardy and prolific. 
White Smith. Large, roundish oval ; yellowish white ; of first quality and English 
type ; one of the best Gooseberries in cultivation. 
Crown Bob. Very large, red, hairv ; quality high. Also from England, and of the 
PEARL. best quality.
