THE INDUSTRY GOOSEBERRY. 
A Gooseberry possessing the desirable 
qualities for table and market has long been 
a desideratum. The best American va¬ 
rieties have failed to satisfy the require¬ 
ments, being too small and not good enough. 
The foreign varieties, wherever tried, have 
either mildewed more or less, or they have 
made a poor or unsatisfactory growth. 
Hence a large, handsome sort of good qual¬ 
ity has been sought after, 
Messrs. Elwanger & Barry of Rochester, 
N. Y., whose advertisement appears else¬ 
where, have favored us with the above en¬ 
graving of the New Industry Gooseberry, 
and say of it, that while they do not, or 
should not, assume to offer to the public a 
variety which will meet every requirement, 
they take pleasure in recommending as 
having done well on their grounds for three 
seasons, being an immense yielder, and 
showing no signs of mildew. Lovers of 
this line fruit who are about to plant for 
market or home use will do well to test this 
new variety.
