I'riumph — An Aiiiericmi seedling, and probably the best yellow sort ino- 
duced here. The originator has never been able to propagate or supply one- 
tenth of the demand. It is a strong grower, and the best bearer of any we have 
seen, many branches being loaded to the ground and full to the very tips. Color 
golden yellow, b'ruit oval, cri.sp, tender and fine ejuality. Has never shown 
any mildew. l!elieve<l to be identical with Columbus.

Pearl — T. T. byons, of the Michigan experimental .Station, .says: "The 
Pearl Goo.seberry has this year borne but a light crop, though considerable more 
than any other of the twenty or more varieties which I am te.sting, (except, per- 
haps, the Houghton, which is too small), ba.st year the Pearl bore far more 
heavily, excelling even the Downing, which is our most popular market 
variety,” \V. J. Green, Horticidturist of the Ohio Kxperimental Station, Woos- 
ter, ()hio, writes: "The Pearl Gooseberry has fruited liere and we are well 
pleased with it. The plants are cpiite healthy, showing very little tendency to 
mildew. The variety is rather more prolific than the Downing, and the berries 
a little larger. Probably it will outrank the Downiing in good qualities and 
seems to be well worth general trial.” J, Taylor, Douglas, Mich, says. 
“The four Pearl Goosberries received from von gave sixteen (|uarts the second 
year after planting. They were as full of fruit as bu.shes could be and showed 
no .signs of miblew. The bush is a strong grower and carries its fruit well u]>
