This superb variety has fairly established its reputation in England as one of the Finest and Most Profitable Gooseberries in existence. The fruit is of enormous size, and, when ripe, of a dark, dusky red colour; it is of fine quality, and cannot be surpassed for preserving. The plant is of robust growth, and is marvellously prolific. Upwards of three tons of splendid fruit have been gathered from half an acre, and as much as 26 tons of this fine Gooseberry have been grown on 3£ acres. • 6 'W'B^nariXjaLiMrs -a^s^u^^s^"^" <*©o^:e:o:es:r:££y attains a marketable size quite three weeks in advance of any other variety of Gooseberry at present in cultivation, and in consequence commands the highest prices obtainable in the market It is undoubtedlythe heaviest cropping variety grown, and has never been known to fail in producing a splendid crop even in seasons when other varieties were a failure. It possesses a peculiar advantage over other kinds by coming mfco leaf some time before it flowers, consequently the foliage protects the bloom from destructive spring frosts. Another property is that it succeeds better than any other variety under the shade of trees. . '- Pit ORDER EARLY TO SECURE PLANTS FOR- DELIVERY IN <JUNE. *«a Brice, 2s 6d each.
