a single bunch, thirty in number, placed side by side, touching, covered a line twelve inches long. The 
fruit is very sweet mid rich in quality, firm, a good market berry, desirable as a dessert fruit in the natural 
state, and unequaled for jelly. The length and abundance of the clusters make it possible to pick 25 per

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 
soil. Us greatest enemy is “mildew,” which, however, is generally avoided by planting 
in partial shade, as recommended for currants, and by thorough mulching. 
quality ami foliage the best. 
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 bloom 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. 2 year, 30 cts. each, 
$3 per dozen. Small plants by mail, 25 cents each. 
Hed Jacket. As large as the largest. Berry smooth ; very prolific and hardy ; 
For seven years it has stood close to Triumph, Crown Bob, White 
Smith, Smith’s Improved, Downing, and a dozen other (English) 
sorts ; and while all these have mildewed more or less in leaf and 
trait, mildew has never yet appeared on Red Jacket. We need this 
Gooseberry, which can be grown in onr 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, No. 1, 
25 cts. each, $2. 70 per doz., Si.sper too; 2 year, No. 1, 40 cts. each, 
$4 per doz., S25 per 100. 
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 tins 
country and Europe. We have fruited the Industry for years ; it is 
certainly the largest Gooseberry on the market. 1 year, No. 1, 10 
cts. each, *i per doz., per too ; 2 year, No. 1, 15 cts. each, $1.50 
per doz., ¥10 per too. 
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. 1 year, 25 cts. each. 
$2 per doz. ; 2 year, 4° cts- each, $3-5° P er doz. 
Chautauqua. A supposed cross between the American and English 
varieties. Is not so subject to mildew as the English type. Bush 
stout and vigorous, having the usual complement of thorns ; foliage 
large gloss : y, dark green. Berries large, often 1 to 1 '■= inches 
long;’ color pale yellow; sweet, but rather thin skinned. Very productive 
doz. 2 year, No. 1, $1.50 each, $ 15 per doz.

posed to be a seedlitw of an English variety. It is remarkably free from mildew, and a good, vigorous 
grower and a heavy bearer ; foliage dark green, berries large, golden yellow, very attractive. 1 year, 
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. ; 2 year, 40 cents each, S3. 50 per doz.
