CURRANTS. 



The notes upon these fruits in the South Haven report are very com- 

 plete and little more need be said. Although the Cherry, Fay, and Versail- 

 laise produce much larger fruit than the Red Dutch, Victoria, and Prince 

 Albert, they are so infested with borers that the latter will be found much 

 more reliable. The Prince Albert in particular should be commended, as 

 it is but little troubled by currant worms, and carries its fruit until all 

 other varieties are gone.
