The land on which the currants grew, which I enter for 

 premium, contains twenty square rods, situated on the border 

 of a meadow ; manured last fall with one half cord of cow 

 manure, and mulched with oak leaves. Cost of manure, apply- 

 ing it and mulching, 16.00.

Leaving the above amount in favor of the crop, it should be 

 distinctly borne in mind that a large part of the bushes are not 

 half grown, which makes a great difference in the amount of 

 the crop. 



I hereby certify that I measured the ground on which grew 

 the above piece of currants, and it measured twenty square 

 rods. Chas. C. Blunt.
