Yictoria Black which was planted in 1894 came into bearing in 

 1896. This seems to be a variety worthy of special notice. It 

 yields large clusters of very large fruit, good in flavor and quality. 

 It has not been tested here long enough to justify an opinion as 

 to its productiveness. 



Native Currants. 



The varieties of the native Missouri currant, R. aureimi, Pursh, 

 such as Crandall, Jelly, etc., gave no yield to amount to anything 

 in 1896.

Comparing these records with those published in the last 

 annual report, it appears that among the red and white kinds 

 Prince Albert still leads in the average yield since 1892; London 

 Red stands second and Victoria third, the same as before. These 

 three varieties also proved the most productive after the severe 

 winter of 1895-6.
