CURRANTS AND COOSEBERRIES 
Knight's Improved Currant (Pomona). 
KNICHT’S IMPROVED (Pomona). This 
is one of the most profitable Currants for the 
market, and has many points of merit in its 
favor. While not the largest in size, it outyields 
all other varieties. Color is a beautiful bright 
red and very attractive; berry is sweeter and 
loss acid than most of the general varieties; is 
of good size and larger than Red Dutch or Vic- 
toria, is a vigorous grower, with healthy, hardy 
foliage, and is sure to become popular as soon as 
better known. There is no other fruit ripening 
during the summer that is so easily handled as 
this Currant, or that can be marketed in such 
good condition over so long a time, or keeps 
better after packing. From first to last of tbe 
season the hushes are picked clean at one pick- 
ing, and never need to he gone over a second 
time.

GOOSEBERRIES. 
This fruit so popular, large, handsome and delicious in Europe, is beginning to receive a little of the attention 
n America that itwell deserves. Like the currant (to which it is closely allied), the Gooseberry is a gross feeder, 
Old delights in a deep, rich soil. Its greatest enemy 
s "mildew,” which, however, is generally avoided 
iy planting in partial shade, as recommended for 
•urrants, and by thorough mulching. 
KEEPSAKE. This is one of the latest and 
nost improved English varieties. Fruit very large, 
'reen, and of the best flavor; an immense crop- 
ier, strong grower, and one week earlier than 
industry. 
The following from The Mural New-Yorker, 
October 2, 1897, we think fully maintains our 
•laim for this variety: that It is the best of 
ill English varieties : 
“ Keepsake Cooseberry, from E. W. Reid, 
Bridgeport, ()., April, 1894. It is claimed that this is 
me of the earliest English varieties in cultivation, 
uid one of the most highly prized for quality, size and 
productiveness. It yielded, last season, the largest 
perries ever raised at The Mural grounds. The two 
bushes sent for trial were and are in tree form, 
pf dwarf habit. The foliage is ample— thick leaves 
pf a deep green color. Neither leaves nor berries 
bare thus far mildewed. We copy from notes taken 
during the season: July 5. Not ripe. The berries 
are now considerably larger than when the photo- 
graph was taken. July 7. Some ripe. By far the 
largest Gooseberries we have ever raised. No trace 
of mildew or scald. Thick skin, quality fair. July 
14. Fully ripe; berries keeping well; green and oi 
good flavor for so large a berry. 
Vrito for rates on our surplus Houghton and Down- 
3 ooseberries ; will offer cheap in large lots. 
Keepsake.
