LEE'S PROLIFIC—This new variety is by far the best of all the black currants.

Extra strong two-year bushes, $1 per dozen, $5 per 100. GOOSEBERRIES. Gooseberries require much the same soil and treatment as currants. If planted in a partial shade they are much less likely to mildew, which is the one drawback to success- ful culture of the best English varieties in this country. DOWNING.—Bushes strong and stocky, with many strong sharp spines. Very produc- tive of large pale green berries, of excellent quality for cooking or table use when fully ripe. Free from mildew, and the most relia- ble of any of our American varieties. One- year, $1 per dozen ; two-years, $ per dozen. SMITH'S IMPROVED.—Plant a more slender grower than Downing, and much less thorny. Very productive of large, yellowish- green berries, of most excellent quality. A delicious berry for eating out of hand, and fine for cooking purposes. This and Downing give a grand succession. One-year, $1 per dozen; two-years, $ per dozen. The New Industry and Triumph have both mildewed so badly with us that we have ceased to propagate Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original G.
