wild state there are both red and white forms of these ctirrants. Plants moderately vig-

Gondouin Red. i. Alag. Hort. 17:62. 1851. 2. Card. Chron. 3rd Ser. 62:232. 1917. 



Red Provence. 3. Horticulturist 2:266. 1847-48. 



This variety was originated by M. Gondouin, St. Cloud, France, nearly a century ago. 

 Both this and the white-fruited variety have frequently been designated as forming two 

 distinct groups of currants from which cultivated sorts have arisen. The variety has also 

 been confused with Victoria. From 1862 until 1871 the variety was included in the 

 American Pomological Society's recommended fruit list. Plants very vigorous, upright, 

 young shoots reddish ; bimches medium in size ; berries large, bright red ; late.

White Gondouin. 2. Can. Cent. Exp. Farm Bui. 56:14. 1907. 



This variety originated in France many years ago and is closely allied to the red-fruited 

 sort of the same name. It was cataloged in the recommended list of the American 

 Pomological Society from 1862 to 1871 and again from 1897 to date. Plants vigorous, 

 upright, not always productive; bvmches of medium length, only partly filled; berries small 

 to mediimi, yellowish, briskly subacid; good; midseason. 



Greenfield, i. Can. Hort. 14:179. 1891.

La Hative. 2. Hortictdturist 10:69. 1855.

 included in the American Pomological Society's list of recommended fruits from 1869 to 

 1871. Plants productive; bunches well filled; berries large, deep red, transparent, very

371:339.391- 1923- 

 The origin of this variety is unknown. There seems to be little doubt, however, but 

 that it is a very old European currant. It has been known by many names most of which 

 have been directly connected with some characteristic of fruit-clusters or berries. As 

 grown at this Station the variety is very similar or identical with Prince Albert so that 

 a further description is unnecessary. 



Indiana, i. Card Bush-Fr. 307. 1917. 2. Ohio Sta. Bui. 371 = 355 1923- 



This variety originated on the farm of J. E. Shideler, Fairview Park, Indianapolis,
