Chautauqua* Giant Size* 
CmAAf far the largest berry; sweet 
when fully ripe. Excellent for 
canning, pies and for fresh eating. The 
only Sweet Gooseberry on the market. 
The bush is of spreading habit, hardy 
anywhere in the Middle West. Bears al¬ 
most as heavy as Oregon Champion. For 
Chautauqua as well as all other varieties 
of Gooseberries, also Currants, I recom¬ 
mend a spray application early In the 
spring, before the leaf buds open, con¬ 
sisting of Dry Dime Sulphur (10 table¬ 
spoonfuls per gallon of water). It will 
keep your shrubs entirely free from mil¬ 
dew. A light spray of arsenate of lead 
just as soon as the leaf worms appear, 
in such localities where this insect may 
attack your plants, will be a perfect pro¬ 
tection. In any planting be sure to In¬ 
clude Chautauqua. I have a nice supply 
of true to name shrubs, well rooted and 
healthy stock: 40c each; 3 for $1.00; 10 
for $3.00; prepaid-

Shipping of Gooseberries and Currants requires a special permit from your department 
of agriculture. I apply for the permit, you have no papers to sign, but your order 
should reach me 2 to 3 weeks before shipping time, so that I have time to get the 
special permit. To all above states Currants and Gooseberries are shipped in separate 
packages. No extra cost to you for permits. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Gooseberries and Currants should have a little shade. The east or north sides of buildings or under large trees are better than 
out in the open. Water them well for the first year in case of dry weather. Pruning of Currants is recommended for old plants 
only, removing the oldest wood. This is done in early spring. Gooseberries should be pruned every summer. When the berries 
are ripe, cut out the bearing canes entirely, this makes room for the new wood which bears the following year. Spray with 
Arsenate of Lead as soon as the leaf-worms appear. Cultivate the soil around these shrubs early in the spring.
