CURRANTS. 



The Currants most deserving of cultivation are the 

 following : 



1. BLACK NAPLES. Pom. Mag. t. 43. 



The superiority of this consists, not only in the 

 larger size of the fruit, but in the clusters being more 

 numerous on the bushes, as well as in each cluster bear- 

 ing a greater number of berries. Cultivated in the 

 Horticultural Garden at Chiswick. 



2. COMMON BLACK. Eng. Bot.t.\2Q\. 



3. CHAMPAGNE, with pale red fruit. 



4. LARGE RED, or RED DUTCH. 



.5. WHITE CHRYSTAL, with white fruit and large 

 bunches. 



6. WHITE DUTCH, with yellow fruit and footstalks. 



The nurserymen's catalogues contain other names, 

 some of which are probably a repetition of the same 

 fruit. There are indeed several worthless varieties of 

 the Red Currant to be found in gardens, which ought 

 to be rooted up, and replaced by the larger fruited. 

 Where the currant is cultivated for the purpose of making 

 wine, the White Dutch is to be preferred, as it is by far
