Grai^dall Gdrrai^t, 
We were the first to call general attention to this most ex¬ 
cellent fruit, and for the last six years it has had with us a 
tremendous sale, and as far as we have heard has in every 
Gooseberries. 
This is a berry which in England holds first place, and is: 
more extensively grown than any other small fruit, except¬ 
ing only the Strawberry. It is not grown in this country to- 
the extent it ought to be, mainly owing, we judge, to the 
poor duality of the varieties in general cultivation. The fol¬ 
lowing varieties are greatly superior to others: 
Josslyn— A pure American variety, firsttested some 10 years- 
ago, and now established as the most healthy and vigor¬ 
ous Gooseberry in cultivation. It is a most prolific bearer 
and the berries are very large and handsome, being when 
ripe a deep red color. It absolutely will not mildew. 
Industry— A Gooseberry of strong, vigorous growth, freedom 
from mildew or other diseases, and large, handsome fruit 
of delicious quality. The berries are dark cherry in color 
and when ripe are rich and sugary. 
Keepsake- Very large, lightgreen, and of the richest quality. 
Considered to be the finest new Gooseberry in ma ny years. 
Strong grower and an immense cropper, like Industry, 
but one or two weeks earlier. 
instance proved greatly satisfactory. It is a strong and rapid 
grower, attaining a height of seven to nine feet and branch¬ 
ing freely into a fine, symmetrical tree form; single shoots 
often grow four to five feet in one season. It beai’s every 
year a tremendous crop of large, black fruit, nearly the size 
of a grape, the quality of which is entirely unlike that of any 
other black Currant, as it has none of the odor or disagree¬ 
able flavor common to black sorts. Its quality is very fine 
indeed, and is not excelled for cooking in any form, either 
for pies, jelly, jam or sauce. Its flavor is that of the Sweet 
Currant, combined with the acid of the Cherry Currant. It 
is almost sure to commence bearing the first year, and cer¬ 
tain lv will yield a big crop the second year. The fruit begins 
to ripen the middle of July and continues to the middle of 
August, the large berries being borne in clusters of four to 
twelve, and cling to the tree a long time after they are ripe, 
and it is. in fact, entirely exempt from all insect ravages, 
either in foliage or fruit. It is of ironclad hardiness and will 
stand the most severe climate without a particle of injury m 
any respect. 
NeW Jupeberry, 
The berries are the size of ordinary cherries, being green 
in an unripe state, changing to bright scarlet, and when fully 
ripe to a dark purple-blue; and as the three colors hang m 
clusters upon a bush they present a most charming and ap¬ 
petizing sight. It is exceedingly sweet and has a peculiarly 
rich arid luscious flavor; a most charming fruit to eat from 
the hand. It is also one of the most showy flowering shrubs, 
as it blooms very early in the spring, and every branch is a 
solid wreath of delicate feathery whiteness, so numerous are 
the flowers. Price, 20c. each: 3 for 50c.; 1 for $ 1 . 00 . 
25c each; l each of the 8 for 50c.; 3 each for $1.50, or $2.oo per doz
