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

to Cherry or Victoria. Nothing will compare in quality w h 
Red Cross bat White Dutch, which is so small. Red Cross was 
first fruited in 1880. I have seen the fruit growing in such 
masses as to hide the upper branches from view. It is larger 
than Cherry. 1 he plant makes twice the growth of Cherry 
and yields two or three tunes as much fruit. I recommend it 
w.th confidence. I consider Red Cross of the best of the new 
currants Price same as May's Giant Ruby.
