Some one sends us a branch with large white gooseberries of the English race, but no note has reached us as to what it is or where from.

If it is a seedling, and an opinion is desired, we can only say that though very good we should hardly consider it equal to the average of the named kinds offered in the catalogues. The English gooseberry has already been so highly improved that there is little chance for good novelties in this line. There is more chance for successful improvement in the American race.
