A cool, moist location is best for this fniit/and it is beDefitedby 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 fertilizers 

 copiously. Dust the bushes with powdered white hellebore, if necessary : to exterminate the currant worm.

 tunity to purchase fine stock at such low prices wiSl, in all probability, not be offered again for a long, time if ever. 



BLACK VICTORIA (New). 



The finest and 

 largest Black 

 Currant in cul- 

 tivation, either 

 in America or 

 Europe, where 

 it originated. It 

 is remarkable, 

 both for great 

 size of berries 

 andproductive- 

 n e s s . The 

 bunches, too. 

 are of extra 

 vigor. Its qual- 

 ity is much bet- 

 ter than that of 

 other Black 

 Currants, being 

 milder and 

 sweeter. In 

 Europe, where 

 Black Cm-rants 

 are highly es- 

 teemed, grow- 

 ers are enthusi- 

 astic in paise 

 of it. and I pre- 

 dict for it like 

 popularity in 

 America. It succeeds on all soils and under all condi- 

 tions. 1 vr.. ea.. 10c : doz., 75c : 100. 85.00. 2 yrs..ea..

 sort, uniformly of large size. Bunches large, berries 

 verv large, bright, sparkling crimson, beautiful, but 

 acid. Verv thriftv and prolific ; profitable for mar- 

 ket bv reason of its large, bright berries. 1 yr.. doz., 

 40c : 100. sL.'O.'. 2 yrs.. doz.. 5Cc : 100, ^2.00. 



Fay's Prolific. The leading red variety ; a regular 

 bearer and reliable everyway. The bush is a strong 

 grower, wonderfully prolific, and comes into bearing 

 earlv : bunches and berries large, bright red. of good

 of better qnality and more productive. All the black 

 cm-rants are hlghlv priced for making jams, jellies,

Red Dutch. An old favorite, justly esteemed for the 

 fine quality of its fruit, which, though small as com- 

 pared with some other varieties, is borne very abund- 

 antly and is the best of all for making jelly, wine, etc.

 giving rich soil, clean culture and intelligent pruning.

Victoria. The best late red variety. A strong,

 red in color, and of excellent quality. Its lateness in 

 ripening makes it valuable for market and desirable

 thus' lenathening the season of currants. 1 yr., doz,.
