the size of grapes, being frequently 8 inches in length, with from 20 to 26 berries

particularly refreshing and without acidity. Berries hang a long time in good

FAY’S PROLIFIC. This variety has been praised very highly of late, and we 
do not trunk it has in any way been misrepresented ; it is healthy, vigorous 
and very productive. Its bunches are from 3 to 5K inches in length, so that 
they can easily be picked, and the berry commands a high price. It is some- 
what larger than Cherry, and is fully twice as productive. 
NORTH STAR. A promising variety. The average length of the bunches is 
4 inches. I he fruit is very sweet and rich in quality, firm, and a good market 
berry, desirable as a dessert fruit in the natural state, and unequaled for jelly. 
KNIOHT S IMPROVED (Pomona). This is one of the most profitable Currants 
for the market, and has many points of merit in its favor. Color is a beautiful 
bright red and very attractive ; berry is sweeter and less acid than most of the 
general varieties; is of good size and larger than Red Dutch or Victoria, is a 
vigorous grower, with healthy, hardy foliage, and is sure to become popular as 
soon as better known.
