former, when well grown, will pass for a large currant. 

 The fruit is paler and less attractive than Cherry. 

 Victoria is a good late currant, but it ranks only me- 

 dium in size. Prince Albert was the most productive 

 during the last three years of all the kinds thus far 

 tested, having an average yield during the last three 

 years of 8.86 pounds per bush. White Dutch was the 

 most productive of the white, and Prince of Wales the 

 most productive of the black kinds tested. Individual 

 varieties in the different classes vary much in produc- 

 tiveness, but the most productive black currants do not 

 equal in yield the most productive red or white kinds. 

 It is estimated that on account of their being less pro- 

 ductive, one would need to realize from one and a half 

 to two cents per pound more for the black as a class, 

 than for the red or white currants."
