Two F'ine Currants for Home or JVlarket. 
Mj1v'« riinnf I?llh\7 '^'^^ largest of all the red currants ever introduced. The bashes are unusually strong in habit of growth and 
iJAajf o VKiciiiv ivWLf^* bear immense clusters of berries in the greatest abundance. In color the berries are a most beautiful shade of 
bright red, and in formation the bunches are so immense that they resemble more a small bunch of rich, red grapes than they do a bunch of currants. 
Many fruit growers are now planting largely of this variety in place of the older sorts, <tn account of the enormous yields which are certain to be the 
restilt. You will make a great mistake if you don't secure a few plants of White Wine and Giant Ruby this year. Price, 2Sc each, $2. SO 
per doz., $10.00 per lOO by express. 
Whii"P' WitIP ^ 8i>lendid white variety tliat bears great bunches of lovely pearl white currants of the most delicious flavor. This and Giant 
TT TT Ruby we consider by far the best of all the currants in both quality and yield, surpassing even the well-known and valuable 
Fay's Proliflc, which has been such a great favorite the past few years. Our 
White Wine is by far the hardiest white sort that can be obtained, and is 
especially desirable for the middle and northern states on that account. 
Price, 25c each, 12 for S2.50.

rtly S> ITUIlllC V./UrrclIIL. .sldered the best red variety that 
has ever been introduced, and it is certainly one of the most prolific cur- 
rants we know of ; the bunches and fruit are extra large, the fruit a bright 
rich red and of the most delicious quality. It is very hardy, and therefore 
ad.ipte<l to all parts of the West and Northwest. Price of strong stock, 
lOc each, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100 by express. 
The Great Crandall Tree Currant * lu'^bfe 
variety. It grows to a height of 7 or 8 feet and forms a handsome tree-like 
bush, such as shown in our illustration. In addition to being enormously 
productive it is absolutely proof against the currant worm and 
all oilier insects. The fruit, which is of a purplish black color, is very 
fine for all cooking purposes, and is unsurpas-sed for pies, jams or 
jellies. The U. 8. Agricultural Report says: "It is an enormous 
bearer, the fruit large, fully one-half inch In diameter. It Is well 
adapted for sauces, pies, jellies, etc., and is perfectly hardy." 
Wo think this is about all that is desirable in a currant and heartily 
recommend it to our customers. A warning— We are headquarters for 
tills currant and all who desire it true to name should send their orders 
direct to us. Price, 20c each, $2.00 per dozen.
