28 J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— CURRANTS 



Currants 



Plants will be shipped by mail provided cash is sent for postage as per table. 



The Currant delights in cool, moist soil and an abundance of fertilizers. It succeeds admirably when 

 planted by a stone wall or fence and is benefited by partial shade. Well-rotted stable manure is perhaps 

 the best fertilizer for it, but ground bone, wood ashes or almost any kind of fertilizer is good; and the more 

 that is used within the bounds of reason, the better. 



Plant in rows four feet apart and the plants three feet distant in the rows. Keep the ground mellow 

 and free of weeds and grass. Summer mulching is necessary for best results. As soon as the leaves turn 

 yellow in autumn and begin to fall, with a pruning knife remove all dead wood and cut back the young 

 shoots a third of their length; cutting to the ground enough of these to admit air and light into the bush freely.

diameter and are of sweet rich flavor. Bush of 

 strong growth and yields heavily every year. 

 Ripens early and the entire crop can be gathered 

 at one picking, but the berries hang upon the bushes 

 for a long time after ripe, before dropping. I 

 have fruited the Boskoop Giant thrice and know the 

 true variety to be vastly superior to any other black 

 currant in commerce.

EVERYBODY'S.— Many persons do not succeed

 Everybody's because everybody can grow it with 



EVERYBODY'S CURRANT; HALF SIZE 



success. The plant is of strong growth with tough 

 leathery foliage and is wonderfully prolific. Bunch 

 and berry of good to large size, color bright spark- 

 ling red and of excellent quality. It ripens in 

 midseason and if not gathered promptly, the berries 

 remain upon the bush for a long time in good con- 

 dition. The variety has been fully tested for many 

 years and in every instance and under all con- 

 ditions, it has proved to be superior to all others 

 as a cropper of fine fruit. It is, indeed, the currant 

 for everybody.
