382 BUSH-FRUITS 



Has not been over-praised. T. Greiuer, American Garden, 1889: 47. 



Widely successful, but sometimes condemned. T. H. Hoskins, Ibid, 212. 



Fay, Red Dutch, and White Grape the only profitable ones. Ibid, 294. 



Not very satisfactory at Ithaca, N. Y.-Ibid, 310. 



Good on light soil. Better with age. Ibid, 349. 



Largest and most prolific currant we have seen growing. Pop. Gar., 11 : 36. 



Somewhat deceiving. Has the largest berries, but these contain less pulp and 

 juice than other varieties, hence makes less jelly than smaller currants. Its size 

 largely due to seed development. Strong shoots from the bottom often become 

 loosened by wind or handling. D. S. Marvin, American Garden, 11: 716. 



The downward or spreading propensity is natural to this variety, and a decided 

 objection to it. E. S. Carman. Amer. Gar., 13: 447. 



One grower holds it up with sticks and slats. Ibid, 687. 



A general failure in Michigan. Occasional bushes do well in sheltered places 

 when protected from spring frosts. Ibid, 378. (From Mich. Hort. Soc. Kept.) 



The largest, finest and most prolific variety, but blooms too early and suckers 

 badly. The suckers brittle and easily broken. 111. Hort. Soc. Kept., 1890: 146. 



Claimed by the originator to be as large as Cherry, with a longer bunch, and 

 producing five times the amount of berries of the Cherry. Had measured berries 

 two inches in circumference. la. Hort. Soc. Kept. 1880: 414. 



John Burrows uprooted his plantation of Fays. la. Hort. Soc. Kept, 1892: 75. 



The leading favorite, and worthy of all that is said of it. Annual Kept. Ge- 

 neva CN. Y.) Exp. Sta. 1880: 283. 



Far ahead of Cherry on light soils, the latter nearly as good on heavy soils. 

 Ibid. 1891: 472. 



Especially liable to attacks of the Twig Borer. T. T. Lyon, Mich. Expt. Sta. 

 Bull. 118:20. 



Gloire de Sdblons. Described as upright, vigorous, and only 

 moderately productive. Bunches short. Fruit small, white, 

 striped or splashed with red. Of interest chiefly on this account. 



Gloucester Bed. Probably an English variety which may never 

 have been introduced in the United States. Described in Tilton's 

 Journal of Horticulture for 1871, p. 188. 



Gondoin Red (Red Provence). Said to have been named from 

 the town in France where it originated. Described as of good 

 size, red, later than Red Dutch. By some this is regarded as the 

 same as Red Provence, and is apparently mentioned by Prince 

 under this name in the Horticulturist, Vol. 2, p. 266. In the 

 Gardener's Monthly for 1876, p. 209, the editor, Thomas Meehan, 

 mentions Raby Castle, May's Victoria, and Imperiale Rouge as 

 synonyms. 



Imperial Yellow (Imperial Jaune, White Imperial). Said to be 

 practically identical with White Grape. 



Knight Early Red. A. variety originated by Thomas Andrew 

 Knight, of England. 



Knight Large Red. Another of Mr. Knight's seedlings. De- 

 scribed as large, bright red, with large bunches, and 'very pro- 

 ductive. 



Knight Sweet Red. Described as large, dark red, bunch long, 

 tapering. Similar in quality to the Red Dutch but less acid. A 

 vigorous, upright grower, with thick, dark green leaves.
