continued plantations, as obferved for the 

 goofeberrie.s ; likewife fome fineli: forts againil 

 bouch and oiher walls, tor early and late fruit, 

 which in the diiFerent forts ripen in June and 

 July, and ma> be continued tiii Sepiembep. 

 Confifi of the following fpccies and varieties.: 



Con^jnon Red Currant 

 Large Red 

 Brick-coloured 



White Dutch Currant 



Champaign 



Black Currant. 



Of all the abo^ forts of currants, the trees 

 are very hardy, will grow and bear plentifully 

 almoll any where, in open and fhady fitua- 

 tions, and by which the fruit maybe obtained 

 early and late, in two or three months iuc- 

 ceiTion, from June tiil September, efpecially 

 if fome of them, in July or Augull, are 

 matted over to defend them from the fun, 

 thofe fully expofed thereto, and from the birds. 



The general fupplies of ihefe trees are com- 

 monly traint'd in fmall builiy llandards, very 

 commonly branching out near the ground, or 

 fometimes in feveral iiems quite from the Uot- 

 tom ; though I would advife them to be 

 trained principally each with a lingle flem 

 from the beginning, fix or eight to ten or 

 twelve inches, then to branch out above into 

 regular heads ; or for walls, or to train in 

 the efpalier order, they may branch out near 

 the bofom. 



Thefe trees bear the fruit principally on the 

 two or three and feveral years old wood, from 

 fir.all fpurs and fnags fituated along the fides
