Excellent for family use. 
Houghton’s Seedling. Very good. Medium ; pale red; tender. Vigorous and very 
productive. 
Industry. One of the few varieties that are free from mildew in this country. Dark red ; 
large, and fine flavor. This variety, though of English origin, succeeds admirably in this 
country, bearing immense crops. It has the peculiar advantage of coming into leaf some 
time before it flowers, consequently the foliage protects the bloom from destructive spring 
frosts. 
Smith’s Improved. Best. Large ; light green ; firm. Moderately vigorous and exceed¬ 
ingly productive. Requires good soil, and is unsurpassed for table use and cooking. An 
English currant, and greatly improved by its emigration. 
Price $1.50 to $3.00 per dozen. 
Chautauqua. This new white Gooseberry is the finest and largest variety in size, beauty, 
and quality; excels them all in vigor and yield. Probably a seedling of some English 
sort. The bush of the Chautauqua is a very vigorous, stout, stiff, upright grower. It 
should not be planted closer than four by six feet apart. It leaves are large, glossy, and 
dark green. Its fruit is of a beautiful light yellow color, perfectly free of spines and hair, 
veined and translucent, averaging in size 1 to 1^ inches in diameter, although we have 
often grown them 1£ inches long. It is rather thick-skinned, but very sweet and of ex¬ 
quisite flavor. 
Report of the New York State Experimental Station. 
The Chautauqua Gooseberry has been fruited at this Experimental Station for 
several years. During this time it has been vigorous and productive. The fruit is 
large, smooth, pale yellow, very good, and sweet. To those who take the trouble to 
spray their Gooseberries, we can recommend the Chautauqua as one of the best varie¬ 
ties yet tested on our grounds. 
One year, $1.00 ; Two years, $1.50.
