In order to stimulate the culture of gooseberries the Experiment Station at 
Geneva has aimed to obtain gooseberries with larger fruits, better flavor, 
and of better plant characters. Poorman was introduced a number of years 
ago as a better gooseberry, and where it succeeds it is a most admirable sort. 
Unfortunately it does not do well on sandy soils, thriving only on clays and 
fertile loams. 
\ Fredonia—is a very large, late, dark red gooseberry of the English type. The 
fruit is good in quality and attractive in appearance, and keeps and ships 
well. The plants are vigorous, productive, and of an open habit of growth 
that makes harvesting easy. Every garden should have a few Fredonias. 
~| Poorman—possesses the highest quality of fruit and one of the largest, 
healthiest and most vigorous bushes of any variety in the Station collec- 
tion. The fruit is large, red, and very attractive. The plants are productive. 
This is a splendid gooseberry in heavy soils. 
RASPBERRIES 
The Station has introduced several new raspberries which in some respects 
are definitely superior to the standard sorts in the trade. All of the following 
are offered as well worthy of trial for the purposes indicated. 
B—black, P—purple, R—red

BLACK RASPBERRIES 
™ Bristol—is one of the best black raspberries being grown at Geneva. In sea- 
son it is a week earlier than Naples, which makes it a good variety to plant 
with that sort to lengthen the season, The berries are large, firm, fairly 
glossy, attractive, and of excellent quality. The bushes are hardy, vigorous, 
and bear very heavy crops. Bristol is worthy of extensive trial for market 
and home use. 
~\pundee—is a promising new black raspberry notable for its high quality. The
