Currants 
Plant in rows 6 feet apart and 4 feet apart in the row, or if to be cultivated both ways, 
5 feet apart each way. A cool, moist loam is best for currants, but they will also succeed on sandy 
soil. The first season allow two or three good shoots to grow and the next spring, shorten these 
slightly if they have made a good growth, thus permitting the new shoots that have started to 
come up for the second season. A half-dozen thrifty shoots will make more and larger fruit 
than a crowded cluster. Keep well cultivated and the ground rich with frequent applications of 
manure or fertilizer. 
A WORD TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
Owing to the existence of certain plant diseases in parts of the United States, an embargo 
has been placed against the importation of some lines of Small Fruit plants. The result is a great 
shortage in the supply and consequent advance in price, affecting principally Currants and Goose- 
berries. So serious in fact is the shortage that already wholesale growers throughout Canada are 
practically sold out of these lines. We would therefore, recommend our customers to place their 
orders as early as possible, and thereby avoid disappointment.

CHERRY (Red)— A very productive sort. Ber- 
ries large and of excellent flavor. An excellent 
variety for general planting and too well known 
for lengthy description. 
BLACK VICTORIA— One of the best. 
BLACK VICTORIA— Without doubt the lead- 
ing black currant in cultivation to-day. A strong 
very vigorous bush and immensely productive. 
Fruit is very large and of a sweet, mild flavor, 
unsurpassed for preserving or making Black 
Currant wine. Do not overlook this in your 
order. 
BOSCOOP GIANT (Black)— A new variety 
which was originated in Holland. In bush growth 
and productiveness it is very similar to Victoria, 
but the fruit is somewhat larger and of equal 
quality. This currant is becoming very popular 
and you will will make no mistake in planting 
it.

ties under test for some years at the Ottawa Ex- 
perimental Farm. Bush a very vigorous grower
