ing neglect well, no class of plants grown will afford better returns for the 
invej-tnient, either for home use or the market, than these. They should 
be hud in every Karden and will pay handsomely for the market. Plant four

FOUR DELIGHTFUL CURRANTS. 
TUTott'c n-iortf "DiiKtt ^^e largest red currant in existence. 
iUdy b VJldJlL iVUUy. These bushes are unusually hardy in 
habit of growth and boar profusely. The berries are beautiful light red 
and grow in immense clusters, more resembling bunches of 
red grapes than bunches of currants. Many fniit growers 
are now planting largely of this variety in place of the older 
sorts on account of its enormous yield. Be sure to secure 
Giant Ruby and White Wine this year. I year, each IOc,» 
doz. $1.00, postpaid; 100 $4.00. by express. 2 year, each ISc* 
doz. $1.50. postpaid; 100 $6.00, by express. 
Perfection Cixrrant. 
The latest introduction, 
created by crossing Fay's 
Prolific with White Grape, and combines the best qualities 
of both parents. In color it is a beautiful bright red and of 
size larger than the Fay; the clusters average longer and 
the size of the berries is maintained to the end of the bunch. 
It is one of the most productive currants we have ever known, 
antl in quality it is sujierior to anything in the market today, 
being of a rich, mild, sub-acid flavor and having plenty of 
pulp with few seeds. 1 year, each 20c.. doz. $2.00, postpaid; 
100 $8.00, by express. 2 year, each 25c., doz. $2.50, post- 
paid; 100 $10.00, by express. 
Red Cross. 
Jacob Moore, the originator, says: 
" Reti Cross clusters are long and have 
well-neched berries, double the size of Victoria, and far su- 
perior in quality to Cherry or Victoria. Nothing will com- 
pare in quality with Red Cross but White Dutch, which is so 
small. Red Cross was first fruited in 1889. I have seen the 
fruit growing in such masses as to hide the upper branches 
from view. It is later than Cherry. The i>lant makes twice 
the growth of Cherry, and yields two or three times as much 
fruit. I recommend it with confidence. I consider Red 
Cross one of the best of the new currants." I year, each lOc., 
doz. $ i .00, postpaid ; 1 00 $3.00, by express. 2 year, each 1 Sc., 
doz. $1.50, postpaid; 100 $5.00, by express. 
Wlllfp ^V^inP This is the hardiest white sort ever 
TT iiiic; TT AXlc. introduced and is therefore especially 
desirable for the middle anti northern states. It bears great 
bunches of pearly white currants of the most delicious flavor. 
This and Giant Ruby we consider the best of all currants in 
botli quality and yield, surpassing even the well-known val- 
uable Fay's Prolific, which has been such a favorite the past 
few years. Prices same as May's Giant Ruby.
