Currants.

One yeai' plants mailed postpaid at dozen rates, if desired. If by mail at 100 rates, add oOc per 100. 

 Tvso year plants are too large to mail. 



A cool, moist location is best for this fruit, and for this reason it succeeds admirably when planted by a stone 

 wall or fence, being benefitted by partial shade. Plant in rows four feet apart, and the plants three feet apart in 

 the rows. Keep the ground mellow and free of weeds and grass, using fertilizer copiously. Mulching is neces- 

 sary for the best returns. So soon as the leaves turn yellow and begin to fall, with a pruning knife remove all 

 the old wood and cut back the young shoots a third of their leixgth, cutting to the ground enough of these to 

 admit air and light into the bush freely.

 and very superior varie-
