 soms very fragrant in Spring. 



EED DUTCH. Color, red ; quality, 1.

Eemarks.— Bunches, long, somewhat larger than Eed 

 Dutch, and slightly more acid; ripens later, and hangs a 

 long time. Plants vigorous, of a spreading habit. Its 

 very large bunches make it desirable for market culture. 

 It requires more trial in the vicinity of Cincinnati. Its 

 lateness in ripening makes it more valuable. Hangs long. 



WHITE DUTCH. Color, white ; quality, 1. 



Eemarks.: — Differing only from the quality of the Eed 

 Dutch, in being of a yellowish white, and less acid, more 

 delicate in flavor, and therefore preferred for table use. 

 Not quite so hardy as the Eed Dutch ; rather more deli- 

 cate in flavor, less acid, and the berries generally larger. 

 Currants are better, in this climate, for a little shade. 



White Pearl. Color, pearl ; quality, 2. 

 Eemarks. — A new variety. Bunches very large.
