while the crop of last year was 3200 quarts, nearly seven 

 times as great. 



1 think that this late growth of the canes was paitly 

 caused by my applying fertilizer in the month of Augu st, 

 which I should not again do, but apply it in tlie 

 spring.

STATEMENT OF CURRANT CROP, 1895. 



The currant crop entered for premium was raised oi^ 

 the same piece of land as entered last year, and for its 

 measure and former cultivation I refer you to Essex 

 County Transactions, for the year 1894, page 110. This 

 year, as in last, the crop was greatly damaged by frost at 

 the time of blossoming. 



The only cultivation done this year was hoeing.
