Notices of New or Remarkable 



Currants. 



Mr. William Morgan, gardener to Henry Browne, 

 Esq. at North Mimms Place, in Hertfordshire, exhibited spe- 

 cimens of a Seedling White Currant raised by himself. The 

 berries are very large and grow in unusually long bunches, 

 fully equal to those of the White Dutch, to which it was 

 found superior in sweetness, on a comparison of the two 

 sorts grown under similar circumstance s, in the garden of 

 the Society. The footstalks of the fruit are yellowish, and 

 the berries very transparent. 



Mr. Morgan has also raised a very good Seedling Red 

 Currant, plants of which have been introduced into the gar- 

 den of the Society ; the fruit is very similar to the common 

 Red Currant, but the bunches are uniformly much larger and 

 carry more berries ; the plant is also a very good bearer. 



From Mr. John Wilmot also was received the fruit of a 

 Seedling Red Currant, raised by himself. It is paler than 

 the common Red Currant, grows in large bunches, and with 

 berries considerably above the average size of the old sort, 

 to which it is not inferior in sweetness. This has been 

 named Wilmofs Pale Red Currant, to distinguish it. 



GOOS I BERRIES.

 Meeting on the 17th of June; they were the produce of a 

 seedling raised by Mr. John Wilmot. The berry is a 

 large smooth oval, stained with a dingy purple, but shewing 

 partially green, as if unripe. The skin is thm, displaying 

 the veins conspicuously. Seeds few, pulp juicy, and of a
