White Grape 

 ■ Currant 



Hardy, easily cultivated, standing neglect well and liberally 

 responding to cultivation and generous treatment; indis- 

 pensable for table use, jellies, etc.; no garden is complete 

 without them and large quantities are required for market.

 heavily; prune out old wood so that each remaining shoot 

 will have room to grow. If the currant worm appears, dust 

 with hellebore.
