OF FRUIT, ORNAMENTAL TREES, ETC. 39 
CURRANTS 
Currants do best on~a cool, 
sheltered, moist location. Plant 
about three feet apart. Rows 
four feet apart. Being perfectly 
hardy they can be planted in the 
fall and do not suffer injury from 
the winter. To destroy the Cur- 
rant worm, dust the plants with 
White Hellebore when the dew is 
on; care should be taken not to 
breath the Hellebore as it causes 
violent sneezing. 
Black Naples. Very large, some- 
times measuring half an inch 
in diameter; fine for wine or 
jellies. 
Black Champion. Bunches are 
very large and the flavor of 
the fruit particularly deli- 
cious; it hangs long on the 
bushes. 
Cherry. The largest of all the 
red Currants; berries some- ' 
times measuring half an inch 
in diameter, bunches short, 
plant very vigorous and pro- 
ductive when grown on good 
soils and well cultivated. 
North Star Currant.
