CURRANTS. 
The Currant is one of the hardiest, most productive, and valuable of our small 
fruits ; and no one better repays a little extra attention in the way of clean cultiva- 
tion, enriching the soil, and judicious pruning out of old wood, keeping the bushes 
with fine, moderately open heads, and constantly renewed by vigorous young wood. 
The following are selected as the best and most valuable varieties in cultivation, of 
the largest size, vigorous in growth, of the best quality, and productive. Greatly 
superior in all respects to the common sorts :

STRAWBERRIES.

among the best. A valuable variety, both for family use and for market. Price, 50 cents per 
dozen: $1.50 per oundred; $10 per 1,000. 
Kentucky — A fine late strawberry, also originated by Mr. Downer. Very highly recom- 
mended for quality, and said to be the latest variety .grown. 51 cents per dozen. 
GOOSEBERRIES. 
Downing* Seedling— Very large; white, or light green when ripe; berries from three- 
fourths to one inch in diameter; qulaity first rate. As free from mildew as Hougton. Price, 
20 cents each; $2 per dozen. 
Houghton's Seedling — Hardy, productive and does not mildew. 10 cents each; 81 per 100. 
Mountain Seedling— .Strong grower — not liable to mildew; fruit of large size and good qual- 
ity, greatly superior to Houghton. 20 cents each; $2 per dozen. 
KITTATINNY BLACKBERRY. 
This variety still maintains its high position and is doubtless the best and most 
valuable variety yet introduced. Large, hardy, productive, and remaining a long 
time in bearing. Its quality is excellent, being ripe as soon as fairly colored, sweet 
and rich, with the highest blackberry flavor. Trice, $1 per dozen; $5 per 100; $30 
per 1000, for extra No. 1 plants. 
WILSON'S EARLY BLACKBERRY. 
Is claimed to be earlier than any other variety ; perfecting its whole crop before 
other blackberries are ripe, and thuscommanding the highest price in market. It 
is not as strong a grower as the Kittatinny, and has not proven quite hardy here in 
Winter, but is large, very productive, and fine, beariug carriage well without chang- 
ing color. Price, $1 per dozen; $5 per hundred.
