Currants 
I’lant in very fertile soil, made so by liberal manuring. The tops should be cut back .so 
only three or four branches will grow the first season. Thin out the old wood yearly, open- 
ing the bush considerably. At the first appearance of currant worms they are easily destroy- 
ed by sprinkling with a can of water in which powdered white hellebore is stirred — (one 
ounce to three gallons). Plant in rows five feet apart and three feet apart in row. 
Clicrry. Fruit of the largest size, deep red, 
rather acid; short bunches; growth strong, 
.stout, erect, short Jointed shoots. 
Ci'umlall (Crandall’s Currant). A new va- 
riety who.se yellow flowers make it very useful 
as an ornamental shrub in the spring. Fruit 
is large, dark colored and has some of the 
characteristics of the gooseberry. 
A’crsaillos (La Versailles). Very large, red; 
long bunch of great beauty and excellent quali- 
t.v. One of the finest and best. Productive. 
Fay (Fay’s Prolific). Has fully sustained 
all the claims that were made for it by the 
originator when first Introduced, and is the 
best red currant known. It has been widely 
planted, and has given general satisfaction: 
fruit very large, bright red. and of excellent 
fiavor, less acid than Cherry. It has a long 
.stem, which admits of rapid picking, and is 
enormously productive. One of the mo.st val- 
uable fruits of recent introduction. Comes
