Black currant. 



original planting we have now reduced the number which have unquestioned 

 merit to 50, and these are growing at Edgewood. They vary at present in 

 height from 2 to 12 feet. We anticipate that some of them will prove to be 

 valuable hedge plants, partaking enough of the characteristices of ovalifolium 

 to give these plants desirable hedge qualities and at the same time prove more 

 hardy owing to the infusion of obtusifolium blood. They have not yet been sub- 

 jected to temperature exposures which have killed ovalifolium entirely to the 

 ground, conditions which do occur occasionally in this vicinity, so their relative 

 hardiness has not been absolutely determined as yet." {Elm City Nursery Co.)
