An about VG example. "When I introduced this new Gooseberry it was with entire confidence that it possessed the best foliage and was the most vigorous in growth of any gooseberry in America, also that it was a great cropper and fruit of very best quality. Although a pure native American (no English blood) it required time to get reports from other states where it was being tested. The most important question to be decided was whether it would in other localities be afflicted with that curse, Mildew, which, in America, affects not only all English Gooseberries, but all tainted with English blood.. we are aggreably surprised to hear so much good from such a wide extent of territory. Our plants fruited this year and the fruit readily sold at the rate of $700.00 per thousand plants." OCLC records just 1 institutional holding (the National Agriculture Library).
