The following varieties are believed to be exempt from this drawback, and we therefore offer them believing that they will meet every requirement. trown Bob—Large, roundish oval, red, hairy ; of first quality. INDUSTRY GOOSEBERRY. industry—Large ; oval; dark red, hairy; rich and agreeable. Although this is a foreign variety it lias succeeded admirably on our grounds, where it has fruited extensively for several years. We can confidently recommend it, both for the garden of the amateur and the market plantation. The plant is remarkably vigorous and productive, and the fruit large, beautiful and of excellent quality. V/ Where shoots are left long, they fruit to the very tips. We regard it as, on the whole, the best foreign Gooseberry ever introduced. Whitesmith—Large, roundish oval, yellowish white, slightly downy; of first quality. SELECT RASPBERRIES. Coming immediately after strawberries, when there is a dearth of other fresh fruits, Raspberries are equally desirable for planting in the garden for home use, and in the field for market. They are easily cultivated. Beds seldom require renewing. Their season of ripening is long. The fruit bears transportation well, and aside from the demand for it for immediate consumption, it brings highly remunerative prices for drying and canning.
