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, on account 
of the enormous yields which are certain to be the result: 
mdeed, we know of no fruit which is more desirable for home 
cultivation than the Currant providing the right varieties are 
grown. Tou will make a great mistake if you dont 
secure a few plants of "White Wine and Giant Ruby 
this year. Price 35o each, 3 for $1.00, 6 for $1.75, 12

TT iiiic TY inc. bunches of lovely pearl white currants o* 
the most delicious flavor. This and Giant 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 Prolific, 
which has been such a great favorite the past few years. Our 
White Wine is by far the hardiest white sort that can be ob- 
tained, and is especiallydesirable for the Middle and Northerm

Description- This valuable fruit and ornamental tree wa.» 
brought to this country from Western Russia by the Mennon- 
ites. The tree is a very rapid grower. Trees, the seed of which 
was planted six years ago, are now twenty feet in height, and 
from SIX to eight inches in diameter. It grows to be very 
large, often reaching the height of fifty feet, and from three ti 
five feet in diameter, and is perfectly hardy. It commences to 
bear when only two years old, and is a prolific bearer, the 
fruit being larger than the average blackberry. They have a 
fine aromatic flavor and sub-acid sweet taste. and arc used for 
dessert as we use blackberries or raspberries. A beautiful 
quick-growing tree for the lawn, while the fruit is valuable for 
table use. This is truly a grand tree, both for ornament and 
fruit. In all our experience we have found no fruit so admira- 
bly adapted to all parts of the West and Northwest. Fine 
healthy stock which will fruit in a year or two. By mail
