CATALOGUE OF THE ORANGE COUNTY NURSERIES. The Dwarf Juneberry is of easy culture, and is a good substitute for the Swamp Huckleberry, which it resembles in appearance and quality. The fruit is borne in clusters, reddish purple in color, changing to bluish black. In flavor it is of a mild, rich sub-acid, excellent as a dessert fruit or canned. It is extremely hardy. Should have a place in every garden. Plants each, 10 cents ; per doz., $1.00 ; per 100. $5.00. It ripens here at the Orange County Nurseries about July 15th, and has a very long season of fruit, continuing in bearing more than one month. It does not ripen much of its fruit at a time ; the plants are very handsome and productive of fruit about one-third smaller than the Souhegan blackcap. It is of excellent vinous flavor. We have used it as a breakfast fruit and found it very enjoyable. The Japan Wineberry has proved hardy with us, and we would advise at least 50 plants in every garden. Plants each, 10 cents ; per dozen, 75 cfents; per 100, $3.00. Gooseberries require the same treatment in planting, pruning and cultivation as recommended for the currant. With a little care in keeping off the currant worm, and fair cultivation, enormous crops can be grown, and profitable results can be had in growing gooseberries. Owing to the improved varieties named below and to good results obtained from spraying for the last three years, the gooseberry has become very profitable, hence very popular, and is being planted very extensively ; for this reason the prices for plants have increased somewhat, and we cannot hope to have them reduced for some time to come. We, however, have a very fine stock of the best varieties, as named below, and have made our prices as low as any one can furnish first-class stock for. Red Jacket.—It is a new gooseberry, and the best red one in existence, with good foliage, mildew proof, productive, fruit of excellent quality. This berry seems to De of especial value on account of its claim to be mildew proof—which will be an acquisition to people residing in localities where other varieties mildew badly. Plants, one year, each, 30 cents ; per dozen, $2.00. Plants, two years, each, 35 cents; per dozen, $3.00. Golden Prolific.—Fruit is large, of a deep golden yellow, of excellent quality, and very attractive in appearance. A heavy fruiter, and, I believe, is destined to be- come as popular as the Industry. Price, one year, each, 25 cents ; per dozen, $2.50. Plants, two year, each, 30 cents ; per dozen, $3.00.
