CURRANTS 
3 years 15c. each, $1.25 per 10, $10.00 per 100 
Cherry and Fay's Prolific, both red and very large; 
Red Dutch; Victoria, red; La Versailles; 
Naples, black (excellent for jellies); White 
Dutch. 
Perfection. The best variety on the market. 
The color is a beautiful bright red. Size as large 
or larger than the Fay, the clusters averaging 
longer. The size of beiTy is well maintained to 
the end of the bunch. The Perfection has a long 
stem from point of attachment to the bush to 
the first berry, making it easy to pick without 
crushing any of the berries. The Perfection is 
a great bearer, resembling its parent the White 
Grape in this respect, superior to the Fay or any 
other large sort with which we ai-e acquainted. 
The season of ripening is about the same as that 
of the Cherry or Fay. Rich, mild, sub-acid, 
plenty of pulp with few seeds. Less acid and of 
better quality than any other large currant in 
cultivation. The White Grape has always been 
considered one of the best varieties for table use, 
and the effect of this strain is plainly seen in the 
very fine quality of Perfection. In habit of 
growth it is intermediate between its parents 
Fay and White Grape, with remarkably large, 
healthy foliage. Prices: 2 years, 25c. each, 
$2.00 per 10, $16.00 per 100.
