2. _Red Warrington._--Later and larger than the preceding; hangs long on the bush without cracking, and improves in flavor. 3. _Woodward's Whitesmith_--is one of the best of the white varieties. 4. _Cleworth's White Lion._--Large and late; excellent. 5. _Collier's Jolly Angler_--is a good green gooseberry; fruit large, excellent, and late. 6. _Early Green Hairy._--Very early; rather small; prolific. 7. _Buerdsill's Duckwing_--is a good, late, yellow gooseberry; large fruit, and a fine-growing bush. 8. _Prophets Rockwood._--Very large fruit of excellent quality, ripening quite early. The foregoing list, giving two of each of the four colors, and early and late, are all, we think, that need be cultivated. Many more varieties, nearly equalling the above, may be selected; but we are not aware that any improvement would be made. Downing gives the following list for a garden:-- _Red._--Red Warrington, Companion, Crown Bob, London, Houghton's Seedling. _Yellow._--Leader, Yellow Ball, Catharine, Gunner. _White._--Woodward's Whitesmith, Freedom, Taylor's Bright Venus, Tally Ho, Sheba Queen. _Green._--Pitmaston Green Gage, Thumper, Jolly Angler, Massey's Heart of oak, Parkinson's Laurel. Thus you have Downing's authority; his list includes most of those we have recommended above. The varieties are less important than in most fruits, provided only you get the large varieties of English gooseberry. Proper cultivation will insure success. Whoever cultivates, only tolerably well, the Houghton Seedling, will be sure to raise good berries, free from mildew. GRAFTING. This is one of the leading methods of obtaining such fruits as we wish, on stocks of such habits of growth and degrees of hardiness, as we may desire. The stock will control, in some degree, the growth of the scion, but leave the fruit mainly to its habits on its original tree. The advantages of grafting are principally the following:-- Good varieties may be propagated very rapidly. A single tree may produce a thousand annually, for a series of years. Large trees of worthless fruit may be changed into any variety we please, and in a very short time bear abundantly. Fruits not easily multiplied in any other way, can be rapidly increased by grafting. Early bearing of seedlings can be secured by grafting on bearing trees. Tender and exotic varieties may be acclimated by grafting into indigenous stocks. Fruit can be raised on an uncongenial soil, by grafting into stocks adapted to that soil. Several varieties may be produced on the same tree, for ornament or economy of room. Dwarfs of any variety may be produced by grafting on dwarf stocks, and we may thus grow many trees on a small space. A slow-growing variety may be made to form a large top, by grafting into large vigorous-growing stocks. We are enabled to carry varieties to any part of the world, at a cheap rate, as the scions, properly done up, may safely be carried around the globe.
