Select Currants, continued 
White Grape. This is justly becoming 
very popular; very large, white. The 
best Currant known to us; sweet or very 
mild acid; good grower and hardy. Has 
been very satisfactory, and is a Currant 
■we can recommend for any purpose. 
15 cts. each, |i .50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
For want of space we only name other 
varieties of Currants we have viz. : Cherry, 
Prince, Albert North Star, Fay's Prolific, 
Wilder White Transparent and Versailles. 
10 cts. each, $1 per doz. 
GOOSEBERRIES 
As to soil, cultivation, etc., all we have 
said concerning the currant applies to the 
Gooseberry. Who that is acquainted with 
its different uses and knows the delights 
of a good Gooseberry pie would ever again 
willingly be without this wholesome fruit? 
Houghton. Medium size, pale red, 
quite sweet and enormously productive. 
This we regard as our standby. Has the 
genuine Gooseberry flavor. 10 cts. each, 
$1 per doz., $8 per 100. 
Downing. Fruit nearly twice as 
large as Houghton. Flesh whitish green, 
soft, juicy and good. Lacks the genuine 
Gooseberry flavor of the above but is 
a most satisfactory kind. Plant vigor- 
ous; one of the best. 2-year, No. I, 15 cts. each, fi.50 per doz., $12 per 100. 
Champion. About as large as Downing; enormou.sly productive; never known to 
mildew; one of the very best sorts for home use or market. "I never saw a Gooseberry 
that will compare with the Champion one year with another, and all things considered." 
Prof. J. L. Budd, Iowa Horticultural Report, 1897. 2-year, No. i, 20 cts. each, $2 per 
doz., $15 per 100. 
CHAMPION GOOSEBERRIES 
SELECT RASPBERRIES 
The plan most commonly recommended for laying out the Ras-berry plantation 
is to plant in rows from 6 to 8 feet apart and 2 to 3 or more feet in the row; but recent 
experience has convinced us that there is a much better plan. We now plant Raspberries 
in hedge rows; plant I foot apart in row and rows 8 feet apart. The dense hedge row 
smothers out all weeds in and near the row, rendering cultivation easier and quicker; 
keep this space between the rows well and frequently cultivated. 
It is a well-known fact that Raspberries are always larger, finer and sweeter if grown 
partially in the shade; the hedge row furnishes this condition. It also protects the 
young canes from being twisted and broken by the wind. The result is more canes, 
finer fruit, and easier and quicker cultivation. 
Give this plan a trial, and you will soon be convinced of its advantages over the 
old way. 
Older. This we consider well worthy to head the list; the greatest drought resister 
among Raspberries. Is among the earliest and is the largest black-cap we have any knowl- 
edge of. Rijiens all its fruits perfectly. Last berries as large as the first. Has small 
seeds, with much pulp and rich juice, therefore the most wholesome of all Raspberries. 
People who would not dare to use the dry, seedy varieties can use these freely. Origi- 
nated in Iowa, and is of ironclad hardiness. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz., ^2.50 per 100, 
$15 per 1,000. 
Kansas. A large, early berry; is very large and fine. Many experiment stations have 
placed it at the head of the list. A very strong grower; withstands drought splendidly, 
and is enormously productive. Same price as Older.
