THE M. H. HARMAN COMPANY 
Currants, continued 
Fay’s Prolific. This Currant has been widely 
planted and has given general satisfaction, and is the 
best red Currant known. Fruit very large, bright red 
and of excellent flavor; less acid than the Cherry. 
It has a long stem which admits of rapid picking, and 
is enormously productive. 
La Versailles. Very large; red; long bunches of 
great beauty and excellent quality. One of the finest. 
Lee’s Prolific. Black. The largest in berry and 
bunch, and best in quality and productiveness. 
Perfection. The color is a beautiful bright red; 
size as large or larger than the Fay; the clusters 
averaging longer. The Perfection is a great bearer, 
resembling its parent, the White Grape, in this respect. 
The quality is rich, mild, subacid, plenty of pulp, 
with few seeds. After three years trial, this fruit 
was the first to receive the $50 Gold Medal of the 
Western New York Horticultural Society. 30 cts. 
each, $2.50 for 10. 
Victoria. Large, bright red, long bunch; late in 
ripening and hangs long on the bush. One of the 
best; very valuable for its lateness. Spreading 
growth; very productive, 
White Grape. Very large; yellowish white; sweet, 
or a very mild acid; excellent quality and valuable 
for the table. The finest of the white sorts. 
STRAWBERRIES 
The Strawberry will grow in any good garden soil 
where the ground has been thoroughly prepared. 
For family use we recommend planting r foot apart 
in the row, the rows 5 feet apart, only allowing 
enough runners to grow so as to form a bed 3 feet 
wide; all the rest should be pinched off. It is ad- 
visable to cover the plants lightly in winter with 
leaves or litter, which should be removed as the 
plants begin to grow in the spring. Pot-grown plants 
can be set out in August and September and will 
yield a fair amount of fruit the following year. Those

many excellent qualities. Great and uniform in 
size, rich color and quality, extraordinary vigor and 
fruitfulness, fine foliage that endures the hottest 
sun. Season early to medium.

vel of vigor and fruitfulness. The best-shipping,

in August and September. $3 per 100, $25 per 1,000. 
ASPARAGUS

returns, depending as much on the culture as on the 
variety used. Do not plant more than 4 to 6 inches

double rows, 18 inches to 2 feet apart in the rows, 
gives sufficient room for paying crops.
