GOOSEBERRY SPECIALS. 
GOOSEBERRIES. 
KEEPSAKE. This is one of the latest and most improved English varieties. Fruit very large, green, and 
of the best flavor ; an immense cropper, strong grower, and one week earlier than Industry. It is a sure bearer, 
owing to its dense foliage, which protects 
the blooms from early spring frosts. We 
can strongly recommend this as being the 
best of its class on the market, and all our 
patrons should try it. 
INDUSTRY. A new variety of foreign 
origin, which has created a sensation every- 
where ; productive of exceedingly large 
fruit of dark red color and delicious qual- 
ity. 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. Th is is a very desirable Ameri- 
can variety, a cross between Houghton and 
one of the large English varieties. It is 
very hardy, entirely free from mildew, su- 
perior in size and quality, and more pro- 
ductive 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, while 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 nei- 
ther plants nor fruit can be grown, except in a very few 
localities in America. 
Lancashire Lad. This is another variety of the Eng- 
lish type, and is claimed to be superior to Industry, being 
Keepsake. 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 vigor- 
ous, having the usual complement of thorns ; foliage 
large, glossy, dark green ; berries large, often 1 to 
1 Vi 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 ; ber- 
ries large, handsome, golden yellow; very attractive. 
Columbus. Anew 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 productive, 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. 
Wh ite Smith. Large, roundish oval ; yellowish 
white ; of first quality and English type. One of 
the best Gooseberries in cultivation. 
Crown Bob. Very large, red, hairy. Also from 
England, and of the best quality. 
Industry.
