Runge, recently introduced in the Hudson River Valley, ap- pears to be another variant of Chautauqua. It is said that the plants are more productive and less susceptible to mildew, and that the berries are larger and ripen later than those of Chau- tauqua. At Geneva, New York, the variety cannot be distinguished from Chautauqua, though pains have been taken to obtain it from its original source. The history of the variety cannot be learned; no doubt the origi- nal plant appeared as an especially choice bush of Chautauqua in some of the many gooseberry plantations on the banks of the Hudson River. TRIUMPH. R. Grossularia. On the grounds of the Experiment Station, Geneva, New York, it is impossible to tell this variety WELLINGTON GLORY from Chautauqua, although it is difficult to make sure that the plants came from the original stock. The bush is described by va- rious pomological authorities as being vigorous in growth, comparatively free from mildew, and very productive. The berries are said to be oblong or round-oblong, pale yellow, sweet, rich, and of high quality. Perhaps Triumph is an improvement on Chautauqua, and as such might well be tried. Its origin seems not to be known, but it has been under cultivation since 1885, when it was first mentioned. VAN
