CUKRANTS. 



The currant crop was not good this year. The bushes suffered considerably 

 during last winter, and in the spring it was found that much of the bearing wood was 

 dead. They have, however, made good growth this season, and a fair crop should 

 be obtained next year. A new plantation will be started in the spring, as most of the 

 old bushes have been planted since 1893, and by the time the new ones are in full 

 bearing it will be time to root the old ones out. 



The table giving the names of varieties with yields, &c., which was published 

 last year, is again repeated with the yields of this year, and the average yield of the 

 past three years included.
