Another seedling raised by Saunders. Plants weak, unproductive; bunches short; 

 berries small; poor; early. 



Stirling, i. Can. Exp. Farms Rpi. 399. 1895. 



This is a Saunders' seedling, which is moderately vigorous, and whose fruits, borne in 

 long clusters, are small, pleasantly flavored, and ripen in midseason. 



Success. I. Can. Exp. Farms Rpt. 399. 1895. 



Another Saunders' seedling. Plants vigorous, productive; bunches medium in length; 

 berries medium, very sweet, with a pleasant flavor; good; midseason. 



Sweet Fruited Missouri, i. Fuller Sm. Fr. Cult. 201. 1867. 



Found in the mountains of Utah many years ago. It is a slight improvement over the 

 native American Black. Berries large, roundish oval, in small clusters, sweet, with a 

 musky flavor. 



Thobum. i. Am. Pom. Soc. Rpt. 208. 1922. 



Found in western Oklahoma and in the mountains of Colorado by J. B. Thobiuii. 

 former Secretary of Agriculture, introduced by the Noble Nursery Company, Noble, Okla- 

 homa. The plants closely resemble R. americanum and are hardy and productive; berries 

 rarely black, but varying in color from dull red, bright yellow, yellow with red stripes, 

 and greenish amber; of good quality and excellent for pies, jellies, and preserves. 



Topsy. I. Ont. Fr. Or. Assoc. Rpt. -jg. 1902. 2. Can. Cent. Exp. Farm Bui. 56:18. 1907. 

 This variety was raised about 1890 by William Saunders, Ottawa, Canada. It is a 

 hybrid between a so-called Dempsey's Black currant and a seedling of the Houghton goose- 

 berry. From this cross five plants grew, four of which had gooseberry foliage, and one, 

 Topsy, black currant foliage and fruit. Plants vigorous, moderately productive; bunches 

 large; berries large, with thick skin, briskly subacid, with a pleasant flavor; good; midseason 



Utah Black, i. Card. & For. 3:375. 1890. 



Rather widely disseminated many years ago, as an ornamental. Supposed to be a 

 seedling of Missouri Black and an improvement over that sort. So very similar if not 

 identical to Crandall that a further description is unnecessary. 



Winona, i. Can. Cent. Exp. Farm Bui. 56:19. 1907. 



Raised by William Saunders, Ottawa, Canada. Plants moderately vigorous, produc- 

 tive; btmches small to medium; berries large, subacid; good; early.

 of medium size, acid but pleasantly flavored; good; midseason.
