224 THE CURRANT. 



RED DUTCH. 



Long Bunched Red Dutch, I Large Red Dutch, 

 New Red Dutch, | Red Grape, 



Morgan s Red. 



Distinct from the variety usually grown in most old gardens, in 

 the fruit being somewhat larger, clusters longer, and acid less sharp. 



VICTORIA. 



May s Victoria, I Goliath, 



Raby Castle, j Houghton Castle. 



Bunches very long, fruit red, somewhat larger than Red Dutch, 

 and slightly more acid, ripens later and hangs a long time. Plants 

 vigorous, of a spreading habit. Its very large long bunches make 

 it the most desirable of all currants for market culture. 



WHITE DUTCH. 



New White Dutch, ] Reeve s White, 

 White Crystal, Morgan s White, 



White Leghorn, | Large White. 



Differing from the Red Dutch in being of a yellowish white, and 

 less acid, therefore preferred for table use. 



WHITE PEARL. 



A new variety we have not seen. Hovey says it is announced as 

 having bunches four inches long, quarter inch in diameter, color of 

 pearl ; raised near Brussels. 



WHITE GRAPE. 



River s White Grape. 



Slightly larger in fruit than the White Dutch, with branches 

 more spreading. The two are not sufficiently distinct to be desirable 

 in small gardens. 



PALNAU. 



Fertile Currant of Palnau. 



Thi* was described in the Horticulturist, 1852, as a new variety 

 from Tours, in France, and of great excellence, flowering early, and 

 producing abundance of fruit less acid than others of the reds. Tt 

 requires yet to be tested in this country.
