CARRIE GOOSEBERRY 
The Leading Gooseberry lor the Northwest. 
A popular variety of real worth. One of the 
hardiest, healthiest, and most productive goose¬

of fruit without injury tg the plants. The stems 
are nearly thornless which is an advantage when 
it comes to picking the fruit. The berries grow 
to a fine large size, are light red in color and 
have a pleasing flavor. Every home gardener 
or commercial fruit grower should be sure to 
have ample stock of Carrie Gooseberry. Strong

HANSEN HARDY PEARS 
Hardy—Productive—Good 
These pears were introduced from Siberia and Northern 
China by Prof. N. E. Hansen and improved by him. They are 
perfectly hardy anywhere in the Northwest, free from disease 
and resistant to fire blight, the dreaded disease of the 
standard varieties. 
Pear production has just commenced in the northwest and it 
is an honor to be among the first to start their culture in 
each community. As our stock of these is quite limited it 
would be well to order early and avoid disappointment.
