COLUMBUS. Fig. 271. R. Grossularia. Very similar to Chau- tauqua, or identical with it, Columbus is offered by several nur- serymen as distinct. If it "differs from Chau- tauqua, it is in the fruits, which seem to some authorities to be larger and yellower. On the assumption that it does differ in fruit, it is well to let the variety stand, as it is one of the best of the English gooseberries for Amer- ican conditions. It was wanger & Barry, Rochester, New York, some time previous to 271. Columbus. (XI) IS introduced by EU- 307.
