CURRANTS. 



Most varieties of euiiants fruited well this season, but in the case of a few sorts 

 the yield was light, owing to imperfect setting of the fruit, the bunches being quite 

 loose. 



The treatment given the plants differed but little from that of former seasons. 

 In early spring they were sprayed with a solution of copper sulphate, and later when 

 growth had started an application of Bordeaux mixture and Paris green was made to 

 prevent the attack of fungi and to destroy the worms which were just beginning to 

 make their appearance. 



NOTE.S ON VARIETIES. 



Cherry made a good growth and produced a fair amount of fruit. The clusters were 



large and 



well filled. 



Fay, which resembles the Cherry closely in plant and fruit, gave 

 results quite similar to that variety. Holland bore a good many loose imjierfect 

 clusters and the berries were quite small. The plants were attacked by aphides in early 

 summer and were sprayed with kerosene emulsion to destroy the pest. This variety 

 is quite subject to the attack of plant lice. 



Lancaster is a new variety which bore its first fruit here this season. Tlie clusters 

 were compact, but rather small. Berries medium in size, of good (|nality. Requires 

 further trial.
