THE CURRANT. 



491 



but have been unable to discover any difference. There may be dis- 

 tinct sorts under these names, but we have failed to obtain them. 



Long-Bunched Red. 

 G-rosse Rouge de Holland. 



Fruit large. Bunches long. Berries deep red, much like Bed Dutch, 

 with a little larger clusters, and rather larger fruit. Very productive. 



Prince Albert. 



Moderately vigorous grower, large foliage, late in ripening, produc- 

 tive and valuable. 



Fruit large, similar in color to Victoria. 



Bed Dutch. 



Large Red Dutch. Large-Bunched Red. 



New Red Dutch. Morgan's Red. 



Groseillier Rouge a Gros Fruit. 



An old, well-known sort, thrifty, upright growth, very productive. 

 Fruit large, deep red, rich acid flavor, with clusters two or three 

 inches long. 



Short-Bunched Bed. 



Much like Bed Dutch, with rather shorter bunches. 

 Fruit not quite as large, but similar in quality. 



Striped-Fruited. 



Grosse Weiss und Rothgestreifte Johannesbeere. Silver- Striped. 



A fruit from Germany. Distinctly striped, small, poor bearer, and 

 of no value except as a curiosity. Gloire des Sablons is similar to 

 the above, and both without value except for ornament. 



Transparent. 

 Blanc Transparent. 



A French Currant. 



Fruit very large, yellowish white, similar to White Grape in growth 

 and fruit, and we are somewhat disposed to consider them identical. 

 Very productive. 



Victoria. 



May's Victoria. Raby Castle. Houghton Castle. 



Goliath. Red Grape. Wilmot's Red Grape. 



A very excellent, rather late sort, with very long bunches of bright 

 red fruit, and is an acquisition to this class of fruits. Berries as large 

 as Bed Dutch. Bunches rather longer, of a brighter red, growth more 

 slow, spreading, and very productive. Will hang on the bushes some 

 two weeks longer than most Currants.
