 a cross between the Cherry and the 

 White Grape. 



BUSH: upright; vigorous; hardy; 

 fairly productive. 



BUNCH: compact. 



BERRY round; color bright red; 

 flavor fairly good, agreeably acid. 



SEASON: medium. 



One of the most profitable 

 red currants; excellent for 

 canning. 



BUSH: a poor grower while 

 young, but as it grows older 

 quite vigorous and produc- 

 tive. Beach, of Geneva, N.Y., 

 in a three years' test found 

 this the most productive cur- 

 rant in his collection, yield- 

 ing, during that period, an 

 average of about nine pounds 

 per bush; leaves large and 

 deeply cut. 



BUNCH: short to medium 

 length. 



BERRY: size medium; color 

 light red; flavor very acid.
