Gooseberries.

This season we have imported all the leading varieties of this favorite fruit
from France and Scotland, They are in splendid condition, and with a little
attention through the summer months, can be made to produce fruit equal to
that grown in Europe. The Gooseberry, to succeed well in our climate, needs
a close pruning and a good manuring yearly, and the ground covered with straw
or litter during the hot summer months to protect the roots. By pursuing this
course, the plants will never mildew, but will bear profusely. We have the
red, white and yellow varieties. Price, strong plants, $3.00 per dozen.

Peaches. ©

The Peach thrives best in ground of a sandy texture.

Plants of one year’s growth from the bud are best suited for planting, either
in gardens or orchards.

Being young and thrifty, they suffer very little by removal and are, there-
fore, much preferable to older trees. Price 30 to 50 cents each ; $12 00 to
$18 00 per 100.

for general cultivation, for the benefit of those not wishing to plant many

New Seedling Potatoes.
THE KING OF THE EARLIES, OR BREEZE’S NO. 4.

We have contracted with and accepted the agency from David W. Prime, of
Brandon, Vt., for the propagation and distribution of this famous potato, which
has set the agricultural community in a fever of excitement. The originator
(Mr. Breeze) claiming that this is the earliest potato yet grown and the most
productive. The following extract from an agricultural journal will give some
idea as to the value placed upon it by the leading authorities.

From the ‘‘ Rural American,” January 27, 1869.

We were shown a new seedling potato recently in New York that had been
sold for fifty dollars. A very few have been sold at the following prices:
16 potatoes brought $825.00; 12 brought $615; 1 brought $50.00. One was
traded for a good cow, valued at sixty dollars. We have received our informa-
tion from Mr. Bliss, the well-known seedsman of New York, and have no doubt
of its being true.

From the ‘‘ American Agriculturist.”

Tue Porato Excrrement.—When we read the accounts of the enormous
prices paid for tulip bulbs in the 17th century, we think that the stories must
be exaggerated, or the people of that time must have been very foolish. The
present excitement in regard to new potatoes, in a measure rivals that of the
tulip, at least, we thought so when we were told that $50 each had been re-
fused for a coyple of tubers that we were inspecting. The late Mr. Goodrich
began his experiment with unimproved stock from South, and the Early Rose
and other new sorts are derived from Mr. Goodrich’s seedlings. Whoever pro-
duces a better potato than we already have, isa public benefactor, andif he gives
us one that will produce more to the acre, he adds largely to the wealth of the
country. It has thus far happened, that those who have done most for the im-
provement of the potato, have not been pecuniarily benefited, Mr. Goodrich,
it is said, made no money, and we learn that the large sums derived from the
sale of the Early Rose, went to others than the originator of that variety. The
success of the Early Rose has been so very general, that new seedlings will
doubtless abound, and it is not unlikely that many indifferent ones will be
offered at enormous prices. It will be well for those who wish to experiment
with the new sorts, to purchase only of dealers of established reputation. The
remarkable specimens above referred to were raised by Mr. Breeze, the origina-
tor of the Early Rose.

The facts above set forth will be sufficient to show that we have in this
variety a potato, the value of which cannot well be estimated; and, judging
from the experience in new varieties the past few years, we have no doubt an
investment will prove satisfactory. Price, single plants, $2.50; two plants,
$4.00; per dozen, $18.00; per hundred, $125.00. They will be carefully
packed for shipping in such a way as to insure perfect safety. Orders received
now will be placed on our books, and filled in the order of their receipt. No
orders will be entered unless accompanied by the cash. Sent out on and after
the Ist of May.
