Fruit of the Flowering Currant 



There are several species of currant, that, owing to their 

 rather exceptional flowers, are popularly designated as "flower- 

 ing currants." Some of these grow wild in the Rocky Mountain regions, 

 others along the Pacific Slope. In the wild species, the fruit is 

 usually not of a high order, but in one case at least this 

 has proved capable of great development through 

 selective breeding. In general, the wild cur- 

 rants are worthy of more attention than 

 they receive fiom the fruit developer.
