70 FRUIT GROWING FOR AMATEURS 



fresh ones, the tips only of the latter being cut off. Many 

 amateurs scarcely ever prune their Black Currant bushes, with 

 the result that growth becomes weakly and the bushes get 

 crowded with useless shoots ; the crop of fruit then is meagre 

 and the fruits are small. 



One of the finest varieties of Black Currant is Boskoop 

 Giant ; other good ones are Naples, Seabrook's Black, and 

 Mammoth.
