 A variety similar, and no way superior, to the Black English.

 stronger and more vigorous grower. 



Black Naples.

 Black CiTrrants, its berries often measuring nearly three-fourths of an

 the berries, are lai'ger and more numerous.

Black English. Casia. 



The common Black English Currant is well known. The berries 

 are quite black, less than half an inch in diameter, and borne in clus- 

 ters of four or fi ve berries.
