HARDY. PRODUCTIVE FRUITS. ORNAMENTAL TREES, SHRUBS. ETC. 
Hardy, easily cultivated, responding liberally to cultivation, and standing neglect well, no ola-sa of plants 
grown will afford better returns for the investment, either for home use or the market than these. Ihey 
should be had in every garden and will pay handsomely for market. Plant four feet apart in rich ground, 
cultivate well or mulch heavily. Prune out old wood so that e.aoh remaiiung shoot will have plenty ot room 
to grow in. Powdered White Hellebore dusted on the plants will destroy the currant worm. 
By planting the red or white varieties alternately with the black, the ravages of the currant worms may 
be greatly lessened, as they do not attack the black varieties.

rants. Many fruit growers are now planting largely of this variety in place of the older sorts on account 
of its enormous yields. Be sure to secure Giant Ruby and Wliite Wine this year.

Gentlemen: — The roots you sent me recently reached me on the 25th 
inst. all in fine shape and I thank you very much indeed for adding the three 
extra roofs which I did not expect. I set them out right away and hope they 
will grow for I am anxious to know how such a change of soil will do to them. 
I hope by another spring to be able to send you an order with the cash, so 
please send me the next catalogue j^ou issue. 
Thanking you again for your kindness, I am. Yours very truly. 
Mrs. A. Hamilton. 
BLACK CHAMPION.
