Pnv'c t>»«rkliflf» (S^*^ Cut.) Until the Introduction of our Giant Rtiby this was cqn- 

 r<*.y O t^I UtlllC* sidered the best market variety iu existence. It certainly possesses all 

 the good qualities necessary in a first class market sort. The plant is robust in gro'wth, hardy iu 

 habit and exceedingly productive. The stems and berries are of largest size, very uniform and of 

 most excellent quality. 1 year, $1.00 per doz., $5.00 per 100; 2 years, $1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 

 riaA/'c riinril' Ollhv (See Cut.) The largest of all the red currants ever introduced. The 

 i *<*y 3 VJIdllv IvUl'j' • bushes are unusually strong in habit of growth and bear im- 

 mense cluster.s of berries in the greatest abundance. In color the berries are a most beautiful shade 

 of bright red, and in formation the bunches are so immense that they resemble more a small bunch of rich, red 

 grapes than thev do a biinch of currants. Many fruit growers are" now planting largely of this variety in 

 place of the older sorts, on account of the enormous yields which are certain to be the result. You will make 

 a great mistake if you don't secure White Wine and Giant Ruby. 1 year, $1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100; a years, 

 $2.00 pei- doz., $10 00 per 1.00 . ,

 VV IIILC VV curr-ants of the most delicious flavor. This and Giarit RuWy w^ consider b3' far the 



best of all the currants in both quality and yield, surpassing even the well-known and valuable Fay'sProlific, 

 which has been such a great favorite the past few years. Otir White Wine is by far the hardiest vyhite sort 

 that can be obtained, and is especially desirable for the Middle and Northern states on that account.
