E. W. REID’S IMURSERIES , BRIDGEPORT, OHIO 
ENGLISH AND AMERICAN GOOSEBERRIES 
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 certainly 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 varieties. 
It is very hardy; entirely free from mildew; 
superior in size and quality, and more productive 
than the Downing, and likely to supercede it. 
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 a dozen or so English sorts, and, \*hile 
all these have mildewed more or less in leaf and 
fruit, mildew has never 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. 
Columbus. 
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 comple- 
ment of thorns ; foliage large, glossy, dark green ; 
berries large, often 1 to 1 % 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 Englishvariety. It 
is remarkably free from mildew, a good, vigorous 
grower, and a heavy bearer; foliage dark green; ber- 
ries large, handsome, 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 produc- 
tive, does not mildew, and is. in every way 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; yellow- 
ish white; of first quality and English type. One 
of the best 
Gooseberries in 
cultivation. 
Crown Bob. 
Very large; 
red; hairy; 
quality high. 
Also from 
England, and 
of the best 
quality. 
Industry.
