The Currant is one of the most productive and 
best paying small fruit that we have. There is, I 
believe, more profit to the acre in currants than any 
other small fruit that can be planted. They can be 
planted between the rows of trees. Records show 
that Currants will yield, when planted in a field by 
themselves, 200 to 250 bushels per acre and the selling 
price is from $3. 00 to $4. 00 per bushel. 
Plant in rows four feet apart each way. Keep 
the ground mellow, free from weeds, and in a good 
state of fertility and prune freely every spring. 
Wilder (President Wilder) — A vigorous grower, 
berries large to very large, bright red ; excellent 
with a mild sub-acid flavor. Ripens early and 
remains bright and firm until very late. Because 
of its exceedingly vigorous growth, great produc- 
tiveness, high quality and remaining good so long 
after ripening, I recommend this as one of the 
best red currants for both table and market. 
Black Champion— From England, pronounced to be 
the finest Black Currant. The bushes grow very 
large and the flavor of the fruit excellent. 
Cherry (Red) — Very large; deep red; bunches short. 
Plants erect, stout, vigorous and productive. 
Fay’s Prolific (Red) — A cross between Cherry and 
Victoria. Of large size, fine flavor, and claimed 
to be twice as prolific as the Cherry. Highly 
Commended by those who have seen or had ex- 
perience with it. 
Lee’s Prolific (Black) — The fruit is large and of 
superior quality; the bush is a vigorous grower 
and productive. 
Perfection — A cross between Fay’s Prolific and White 
Grape. Color, beautiful bright red; size as large 
or larger than the Fay, the clusters averaging 
longer. 
Red Cross — A strong growing variety. Cluster long; 
berry medium to large, bright red; quality good 
to best. Very productive. 
Victoria (Red) — A valuable variety, ripening two or 
three weeks later than the others, and continuing 
in fine condition for a long period. Bunches ex- 
tremely long, berries of medium size, brilliant 
red and of the highest quality.

cover the crowns deep when planting.
