BLACK CHAMPION. The best standard 

 black Current for general cultivation; an improve- 

 ment upon the older varieties and very reliable.

 but milder and with less of the strong odor pecu- 

 liar to this species. A strong grower and heavy 

 annual bearer. 1 vr., doz., 50c.; 100, S2.00. 2 yrs.,

CHERRY AND VERSAILLES. The lead- 

 ing market sorts until the advent of Fay 's Prolific, 

 and still planted largely. The largest of all the 

 red currants but not so productive as some others, 

 and the fruit, though very large, bright arid spark- 

 ling, is too acid for most palates. They are, how- 

 ever, very profitable for market and will continue 

 to be in much demand. So similar that one de- 

 scription applies to both. 1 vr., doz., oOc. : 100,

 ters. A strong grower, prolific, a regular, reliable

NORTH STAR. Remarkable for its great 

 vigor and productiveness, and for the latter reason 

 should be well enriched with fertilizers. Very 

 profitable for market and its fine fruit should make 

 it a favorite in the home garden. Berries of good 

 size, though not so large as Cherry, bunches heav- 

 ier and longer, bright crimson, of excellent qual- 

 itv and less acid than others. 1 yr., doz., 50c.;

RED DUTCH. The well-known old currant 

 of our boy-hood, producing in great abundance 

 fruit of the finest quality, and the best for making 

 jellies, wines, etc. The berries, however, are 

 small, but may be increased in size by giving rich 

 soil, clean culture and intelligent pruning. Bush 

 a very strong grower. 1 vr., doz., 50c. ; 100, 82.00.

 ries of extra fine quality. Should be in every 

 home garden. 1 yr. , doz., 75c. 2 yrs., doz.,
