Mountain Seedling Gooseberries. New, vigorous and very productive 
GOOSEBERRIES, continued 
CHAUTAUQUA. This is one of the largest-fruited varieties 
grown. The bush is a vigorous, stout, upright grower, with foliage 
large, glossy, dark green; fruit very large, smooth-veined, of yellow¬ 
ish color when fully ripe; skin thick; flavor very sweet. 
DOWNING. A vigorous grower and unusually free from mil¬ 
dew; handsome berries of splendid quality. Fine for both cooking 
and table use. One of the oldest and most reliable of the large-fruited 
varieties. (See illustration, page 31.) 
HOUGHTON. Very productive; berries of medium size and, 
for general purposes, of the best. It is one of the healthiest and 
hardiest of the Gooseberry family and a variety that almost always 
produces a full crop, never failing entirely. 
JOSSELYN (Red Jacket). An American seedling about the 
size of Downing; fruit borne prolifically; bush very hardy. 
MOUNTAIN SEEDLING. A new variety of unusual vigor and 
great productiveness. It is slightly larger than Houghton, and 
seems to have all the good qualities of that variety. It makes 
heavier canes and holds the foliage longer than anything else on the 
place. Another very important point—the fruit will remain green in 
color and fit for market fully a week longer than Houghton. A good, 
reliable variety. 
ALLEN’S NOVELTIES FOR 1914 
LOGANBERRY 
The vine is an exceedingly strong grower, trailing on the ground 
like the dewberry. Fruit is rather long, often an inch or more in 
length, dark red, with the shape of the blackberry and color, of a 
red raspberry, and the flavor a combination of both. It is claimed 
to be a cross of the blackberry and raspberry. 
STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 
Begins to ripen about the same time as the raspberry. The canes 
die down every season after fruiting, and do not require trimming. 
The ground can be cleared in the fall or, if preferable, in early spring, 
and the new sprouts will appear and grow rapidly and bear fruit Houghton. Produces a full crop 
the same season. When planted in good soil it requires but little 
attention. The plants can be set in rows about 18 to 24 inches apart and from 3 to.4 inches in depth. They 
are perfectly hardy, and will do well in almost any climate. The plants will attain a height of 2 to 3 feet, 
producing fruit in branching clusters, bearing ripe fruit, small green berries and large white blossoms at 
the same time, presenting a beautiful appearance. The berries are usually about two or three times as 
large as red raspberries, bright red in color, and some claim to like the flavor; I don't think the fruit is 
good enough to command a large sale. I recommend the plant as a curiosity and for its ornamental value.
