GOOSEBERRIES. 
CURRANT, BOSKOOP GIANT BLACK. 
Generally speaking, the Black Currant thrives best on a damp soil 
and the Reds and Whites on a light soil, but with good cultivation they 
will sucoeed in almost any soil. Trained on a north wall or fence the 
Reds and Whites are exceedingly prolific and splendid fruit may be had 
well into September. Liquid manure iB very beneficial where extra fine 
fruit are desired.
