Currants and Gooseberries 
..35.. 
BEID’S NUBSEBIES, UPLAND, OHIO 
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 
less 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. Prom first to last of the 
season the bushes are picked clean at one pick- 
ing, and never need to be gone over a second 
time. 
SPECIAL. NOTICE. — We have a large 
stock of the finest Currants ever put on 
the market, and you should NOTE OUR 
LOW PRICES. 
NOTE •—Add 20 cents per dozen if to be 
sent by mail, as bushes are very large.

dozen.

GOOESBERRIES. 
This fruit, so popular, large, handsome and delicious in Europe, is beginning to receive a little of the attention 
in America that it well deserves. Like the currant (to which it is closely allied), the Gooseberry is a gross feeder, 
and delights in a deep, rich soil. Its greatest 
enemy is "mildew,” which, however, is gen- 
erally avoi ’ed by planting in partial shade, as 
recommended for currants, and by thorough 
mulching. 
KEEPSAKE. This is one of the latest 
and most improved English varieties. Fruit 
very large, green, and of the best flavor; an 
immense cropper, strong grower, and one 
week earlier than Industry. 
The following from The Rural New- 
Yorker , October 2, 1897, we think fully main- 
tains our claim for this variety: that It Is the 
best of all English varieties : 
“Keepsake Gooseberry, from E. W. 
Reid, Bridgeport, O., April, 1894. It is claimed 
that this is one of the earliest English varieties 
in cultivation, and one of the most highly prized 
for quality, size and productiveness. It yielded, 
last season, the largest berries ever raised at 
The Rural grounds. The two bushes sent for 
trial were and are in tree form, of dwarf habit. 
The foliage is ample— thick leaves of a deep 
green color. Neither leaves nor berries have 
thus far mildewed. We copy from notes taken 
during the season: July 5. Not ripe. The ber- 
ries are now considerably larger than when the 
photograph 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: ber- 
ries keeping well; green and of good flavor for 
so large a berry. 
Keepsake.
