Hardy, easily cultivated, responding liberally to cultivation, 
and standing neglect well, no class of plants grown will afford 
better returns for the investment, either for home use or the 
market, than these. They should be had in every garden and 
will pay handsomely for the market. Plant four feet apart In 
rich ground, cultivate well and mulch heavily.

FOUR DELIGHTFUL CURRANTS. 
■Kir^ i-':^^* X>,-.U-.r The largest red currant in existence. 
May S (jiant KUOy. These bushes are unusually hardy in 
habit of growth and bear profusely. The berries are beauti- 
ful light red and grow in immense clusters, more resembhng 
bunches of red grapes than bunches of currants. Many 
fruit 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.

T» _r The latest introduction, 
PerteCtlOn L-Urrant. 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, 
and in quality it Is superior to anything in the 
market to-day, being of a rich, mild, sub-acid flavor 
and having plenty of pulp with lew seeds. 1 year,

have well-neched berries, double the size of Vic- 
toria, and far superior in quality to Cherry or Vic- 
toria. •Nothing -will compare in quality with Red 
Cross but White Dutch, which Is so small. Red Cross 
was first fruited in 1889. I have seen the fruit grow- 
ing in such masses as to hide the upper branches from 
view. It Is later than Cherry. The plant makes twice 
the growth of Cherry, and yields two or three times as 
much fruit. I recommend it with confidence. I con- 
siSer Red Cross one of the best of the new currants.

Tiru-i- \XTi^^ • This is the hardiest white sort ever 
Wnite Wine.' introduced and is therefore espe- 
cially desirable for the middle and northern states. It 
bears great bunches of pearly white currants of tne 
most delicious flavor. This and Giant Ruby we consider 
the best of all currants in both quality and yield, sur- 
passing even the well-known valuable Fay's Prolific, 
which has been such a favorite the past few years.
