GOOSEBERRIES. 
This fruit, so popular, large, handsome and delicious in Europe, is beginning to 
receive a little of the attention in America that it well deserves. Like the currant (to 
which it is closely allied), the gooseberry is a gross feeder, and delights in a deep, rich 
soU - !ts greatest enemy is “ mildew,” which, however, is generally avoided by planting 
in partial shade, as recommended for currants, and by thorough mulching.

Smith, Smith’s Improved, Downing, and a dozen other (English) 
sorts; and while all these have mildewed more or less in leaf and 
truit, 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. 1 year

Industry. A new variety of foreign origin which has created a sensa- 
tion 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 two years • 
it is certainly the largest gooseberry on the market. As our stock 
was not sufficient to supply our trade, we have imported direct from 
the original firm in England, so our customers will be sure to get 
genuine Caown” goods. The tariff that is now on such stock 
made them cost as much more as when bought, but we have not 
advanced the rates. 1 year, No. r, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz 
per 100 ; 2 year, No. 1, 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. ’ 
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 pro- 
ductive, not inclined to mildew, and strong growing. One of the 
best dessert berries, first-class in quality. 1 year,' 25 cts. each 
»2 per doz. ; 2 year, 40 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
(lolden Prol ific. One of our largest and best native varieties. It originated in New York state and is 
posed to be a seedling of an English variety. It is remarkably free from mildew and a good vigorous

KEEPSAKE GOOSEBERRY. 
Dayton, Ohio. — Samples of Eldorado just received, and we I 
pronounced it very fine. The flavor is superior to anything | 
we know in the wav of blackberries, while it is of large size 
and entirely free from hard core. It is certainly a superior 
Blackberry, which will be far in advance of other kinds. 
Hoover & Gaines Co. 
Cuyahoga Falls, O. — The samples of Eldorado arrived 
yesterday, and were in a good state of preservation. Several 
ot us tasted them, and all agreed that they were of superior 
flavor and very sweet.
