CURRANTS 



Prices: 25c each; 6 to 10, 20c each; 50 to 100, 15c each. 



Hardy, requiring little cultivation, even withstanding con- 

 siderable neg'ect, the Currant has large marketing possibili- 

 ties, as it is almost indispensable for table use, being used 

 universally in making perhaps the finest of all jellies and in 

 a great demand by the housewife in many other ways. The 

 home garden, everywhere, is incomplete without this luscious 

 fruit. 



Culture: Set the plants four feet apart in rich ground. 

 Cultivate well and mulch heavily. Prune out old wood so that 

 each remaining shoot will have plenty of room. Dust with 

 Hellebore to eliminate the currant worm. 



CHERRY. Large berries on short clusters; a robust, fruitful 

 variety. The vigorous, stocky bushes produce large quanti- 

 ties of bright red fruit with thin skins and remarkably fine 

 flavor. 



LONDON MARKET. Large, red, fine. Very productive and of 

 extra high quality. Rich, mild, sub-acid. 



WILDER. Bunch and berries very Icrge, bright, attractive red 

 color, even when dead ripe. Flavor not too acid and fruit 

 continues on bush for quite a period. 



PERFECTION. Beautiful, bright red, holding its large size to 

 end of bunch. Easy to pick — a superior bearer — less acid 

 and of better quality than any other large currant. 



WHITE GRAPE. Very large, yellowish white. Mild acid flavor. 

 Extremely valuable for table use. 



GOOSEBERRIES 



Prices: 25c each; 6 to 10, 20c each; 50 to 100, 15c each. 



This fruit continues to retain its popularity throughout the 

 years and is well worthy of every home garden as well as a 

 good item for the commercial grower to include, in some 

 quantity, in his list of small fruits. 



Culture: — The Gooseberry requires a deep soil, well ma- 

 nured, which, if dry, should be mulched thoroughly to retain 

 the moisture. Careful trimming and pruning is necessary to 

 produce a maximum yield of fruit. Set plants 3 to 4 fee? 

 apart. To prevent mildew, spray bushes as soon as leaves 

 appear and several times during the summer with Potassium 

 Sulphide — one ounce to four gallons of water. 



DOWNING. Large, handsome, pale green; of splendid quality 

 for both cooking and table use. The plant is strong and 

 usually free from mildew. 



RED JACKET. This is the most free from mildew of all the 

 leading varieties. The fruit is large, smooth, pale red in 

 color, fine flavored, and is produced in great abundance. 



The New 

 Everbearing 

 ROBINSON Blackberry 



This new Everbearing Blackberry has proven to be a 

 profitable fall cropping variety as well as producing a 

 fine crop of extra large solid berries along with the other 

 well known blackberry varieties that produce their crop 

 only in the early summer months. This variety has been 

 'ested in several states and is not in the experimental 

 stage, having pessed the test of a profitable varieTy for 

 the market gardener fruit grower as well as home gar- 

 deners. It takes no more attention for them than the 

 ordinary Blackberry, and is sure to be of great benefit 

 throughout the coming years to the fruit grower who is 

 catering to the roadside markets.
