The Currant and Gooseberry 



Continued from page 10. 

 Varieties 

 Currants — For commercial planta- 

 tions, vigorous, erect-growing product- 

 ive varieties should be chosen. The 

 more acid variety should be selected for 

 jelly making and the milder varieties 

 for dessert uses. The fruit should be 

 large and firm and borne in compact 

 clusters. Deep red varieties are pre- 



March, 1920 



toria for the Pacific Coast. The varie- 

 ties mentioned are only suggestive. In 

 certain localities in the regions speci- 

 fied other varieties may be better adapt- 

 ed. The Fay, Perfection Cherry, White 

 Grape, Red Cross and London have 

 been found entirely hardy in North Da- 

 kota and should be hardy anywhere in 

 in the United States. Most growers pre- 

 fer to plant one or two varieties. If 

 two varieties are used, an early and a 

 late one are selected. 



A 32-quart crate of Columbus gooseberries grown at Middietiopf, New York, con- 

 sidered one of the most desirable of the European varieties. 



ferred for the market. For dessert use 

 in the home, the white currants are 

 considered the best. 



The following varieties are suggested 

 for the sections named: Perfection, 

 Wilder, Red Cross, and White Imperial 

 for the northeastern part of the United 

 States; London (London Market), Wil- 

 der, Red Cross and Perfection for Mich- 

 igan and other parts of the Middle 

 West; Perfection, London (London Mar- 

 ket), Wilder, Red Cross, Fay and Vic- 



Gooseberries 



.\s already stated the American vari- 

 eties of gooseberries are usually the 

 most productive, are hardier and are 

 considered by most Americans to be of 

 better quality. The Downing, Oregon 

 and Poorman are considered some of 

 the best American varieties. Some of 

 the best known European varieties 

 which are larger and sell at a higher 

 price than the American varieties 

 are the Chautauqua, Columbus, Portage, 

 Triumph, Industry, and May Duke.
