are a paying crop to grow tor market. They bear 

 the second summer after planting. I picked 70 

 cents' worth of fruit from one busli last summer. 

 They are not like berries which you must pick and 

 send to market as soon as ripe, or have many of 

 them spoil. Fay's will hang on the bushes nearly 

 two weeks after they are fit to pick, and then be in 

 good condition for market. There is a big demand 

 lor the fruit. My commission merchant wrote me, 

 " Send me all of the Fay's you can at 60 cents per 

 basket." 



Price of extra large 2-year old bearing bushes, 

 $4 per 100. Strong one-year-old, *3 per 100. Cherry 

 currants, same price; 16 Downing or 16 Smith's 

 gooseberry, $1. Hydrangea, P. G., 15 cents each.
