Gooseberries 
A fruit that is growing in favor in this country especially In demand among our foreign popu¬ 
lation. The fruit can be canned or preserved, green or ripe, depending upon the taste. Many 
people like ripe gooseberries to eat fresh. 
Gooseberries require much the same care as currants, and their habits are very similar. They 
will begin fruiting the second year and continue to bear go(^ crops so long as good cultivation la 
given. Worms will eat off the foliage and render them unfruitful unless care is taken to destroy 
them before they do much damage. Use Parts Qreen or Hellebore. To prevent gooseberry blight, 
spray with Bordeaux mixture or Lime and Sulphur. 
The best results are obtained by planting gooseberries in moist, but not sogg>', clay loam, but 
they will do reasonably well in any well-drained soil if they are well fertilized each year. 
Varieties 
The Canie Gooseberry. This new variety of pure 
American origin, comes from the State of Minne¬ 
sota. where it has made itself very popular. We 
have had it growing for several years and have 
never known it to be affected by mildew. The 
plants are good strong growers, clean and healthy. 
It Is enormously productive, I believe the most 
productive gooseberry 1 have ever seen. When 
ripe the fruit is a deep maroon red in color, 
smooth, attractive, and of the finest flavor, it Is 
unquestionably the most promising gooseberry of 
American origin now before the public and when 
its merits are fully known, It will be planted In 
large quantities. No other gooseberry near equals 
It in value for planting for home use or near 
markets. It Is not as large as Josselyn but larger 
than Houghton and more attractive than either. 
It is unquestionably the best variety for the farm¬ 
er to plant. Price, 60c each; 6 for 12.60; 12 for 
14.60: 26 for 18.00; 100, |30.

I received the 400 everbearing strawberry plants 
and have Anlshed their first cultivation, with a 
96 per cent stand, which I think is a fair stand.

Franklin County, N. T.. May 26th. 1911. 
1 shall want a good bunch of your nursery stock 
for my customers. Think your stock Is far ahead 
in quality of the company I have been selling for. 
Richard Tando. 
A leading grower of Minnesota writes of it as 
follows; “I feel that I cannot be too strong In the 
praise of this wonderful new gooseberry. I bare 
tried it out to my own satisfaction and find It every¬ 
thing that is claimed by the originator. The plants 
are of the upright nature and grow very fast, coming 
into bearing the year after setting, which has not 
occurred in my experience In any other variety. Mt 
plants raised fruit enough the second year, after 
setting, to more than pay for them. They seem to 
be Immune from disease, as 1 have them near 
other varieties with mildew, but the Carrie has 
never mildewed with me yet. They are practically 
thornless.” Another leading nurseryman writes; 
"Special attention Is called to the Carrie Goose¬ 
berry, which we believe, all things considered, is 
one of the beat varieties for northern culture that 
has ever been put on the market. It is vigorous, 
hardy, and very productive. It has a very thin 
skin and yet Is firm and a good shipper. Free from 
mildew entirely. Far more prolific and sucoesafnl 
in this section than other varl^ien.” 
Houghton. A medium sized, smooth, pale red goose¬ 
berry of fine quality. The bushes are very hardy, 
vigorous and productive, producing an almost In¬ 
credible amount of fruit. Fine for borne use, 26o 
each; dozen, 12.60; 100, |20. 
NOTK. We have several thousand plants of the 
Houghton gooseberry which are four and five years 
old, large, thrifty and nice. If set in early spring, 
they will bear a good crop of berries the same year. 
If set in the fall, after Oct. lat, they will bear a 
full crop of fruit the following summer. We will 
sell these plants at 60c each, 16.00 per 12, $35 per 
100 . 
Downing. This is a very popular variety. Bushes 
grow very stocky. Immensely productive of me¬ 
dium to large, pale green fruits, about 60 per cent 
larger than Houghton. 36c each, dozen, |3.60; 199 , 
326 . 
Joseelyn. A very large fruited variety uf American 
origin. The bushes are hardy, vigorous, and pro¬ 
ductive. The fruit is pale red, smooth, and fully 
three times as large as Houghton. Very valuable. 
36c each; dozen, 33.60; 100, 325. 
rhsutauqua. 60c each; dozen. 38.00; 100, 336. 
Poorman Gooseberry. This new variety of goose¬ 
berry is highly recommended by the officials of 
the New York Agricultural Experiment Station at 
Geneva, N. Y. They claim It the best paying and 
most valuable gooseberry for growing for market 
that they have ever tested out. We have them 
growing but have not yet fruited It. Price, 600 
per plant; 36.00 per dozen. 
Niagara Falls. N. Y., April 13tb, 1911 
Three years ago 1 bought two everbearing straw¬ 
berry plants of you, paying 3L00 per plant. The 
next year I bad 14 plants and last year I had 
60 plants. Now I have a bed of 76 plants. They 
bore berries and they were the nicest looking and 
best flavored berry I ever saw or tasted.
