Currants 



One year plants mailed postpaid at dozen rates, if desired. If by mail at 100 rates, add 50c per 100. 

 Two 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 length, cutting to the ground enough of these to 

 admit air and light into the bush freely. 



PERFECTION. 



A distinct and very 

 superior variety; produc- 

 ing large, long clusters of 

 large, bright sparkling 

 red berries of mild, su- 

 perior quality in great 

 profusion. Awarded 

 many prizes and medals. 

 The editor of the old re- 

 liable American Agri- 

 cui,TURisT says: "In re- 

 ality it is all its name 

 indicates. It is simply 

 the most beautiful and 

 perfect Currant thus far 

 introduced." 



It has proved an un- 

 qualified success at Mon- 

 mouth and I am receiv- 

 ing flattering reports of 

 it from all parts of the 

 country. I do not hesi- 

 tate to recommend it as 

 the finest and best Cur- 

 rant upon the market. 

 I think so well of it that 

 I have several thousand
