Victoria, or Houghton Castle — Large, bright red; bunches very long; an 
erect grower, late, productive and very valuable. This and Prince Albert extend 
the currant season into September. 
White Dutch — Well-known, of medium size and excellent quality. 
White Grape— Very large, mild and excellent; the best table variety. This is 
very distinct from the White Dutch, having a low spreading habit and dark green 
foliage and much larger fruit; the White Dutch has pale green foliage and an 
erect habit. 
I—ENGLISH VARIETIES. 
We have in stock a few choice varieties. The Gooseberry wants close pruning 
and annual manuring to sustain its vigor. They may be planted in the Fall or Spring. 
PRICE, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. 
NEW GOOSEBERRY. 
An Important Acquisition to the List of Fruits. 
INDUSTRY GOOSEBERRY. 
Description : Size , large; color , dark red; hairy, with a pleasant rich flavor. 
A Gooseberry possessing the desirable qualities for table and market has long 
been a desideratum. The best American varieties 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 quality has been much sought after. 
Whilst we should not assume to offer a variety which will meet every require¬ 
ment, we take pleasure in now submitting to the public, for the first time, a variety 
which we think destined to revolutionize gooseberry culture in this country. Al¬ 
though a foreign sort it has done admirably upon our grounds for four seasons, bein^ a 
vigorous grower and an immense yielder, and showing no signs of mildew. The an¬ 
nexed illustration shows the size of the fruit. We confidently recommend it to all 
planters for the garden and for market, being unequalled for size, flavor, productive¬ 
ness and vigorous growth ; stock limited. This variety fruited with us again the past 
season (1884', and fully sustains the high recommendations we gave it. 
PRICE, 75 cts. each ; $6.00 per dozen.
