difference in the growth of the plant. It appears to be a 

 more stocky and upright grower, at least while young. 



Imperial Rouje, — See Cherry Currant. 



Knight's Large Red. — Very shnilar to, if not identical 

 with;the Red Dutch. 



Knight's Early Red. — Same as the last, and no earlier. 



Knight's Sweet Red. — Large, very dark red; bunch 

 iong, tapering; similar in quality to the Red Dutch, but 

 apparently not quite so acid ; growth vigorous, upright 

 leaves dark green, of medium size, thick and coarsely ser- 

 rate. The general appearance of the plant distinct from 

 the Red Dutch. ^Moderately productive. This may have 

 been received under the wrong name, and perhaps it is 

 the Knight's Large Red, which, Rivers says, is a valuable 

 variety. 



La Hatire. {La Hative de JSertin^ La Fertile.) — I am 

 not certain which of the above names should be placed 

 first, although the varieties received imder each have all 

 proved to be the same. Evidently nearly related to the 

 Cherry CmTant, as the general appearance of the plant 

 resembles it very much, but of a less vigorous growth. 

 Color of fruit and form of bunch same as Cherry, but 

 only about two-thirds the size ; ripens a few days earlier, 

 and is not quite so acid, yet too much so to be called good ; 

 productive. 



Prince Albert. — Large, light red, sometimes slightly 

 Btriped with dark red; bunch medium, tapering; rather 

 acid, firm, of inferior quality, moderately vigorous, up- 

 right ; leaves small; lobes long, pointed, sharply serrate 

 very productive. 



Red Dntch. {Large Bed Dutch^ Is^ew EedLutch^ Long 

 Bunched Hed^ Morgan'' s Med^ Grossellier Eouge a Grosse 

 Fruit.) — Large, deep red; bunches long, tapering, rich, 

 juicy, good. One of the best. A vigorous, erect grower 

 and very productive. Well known.
