CURRANTS 
This fruit commends Itself on account or Its extreme hardiness, ease of culti- 
vation and large crops of rich fruit. Set about four feet in the row and mulch heavily 
or give good cultivation. Cut out the old wood and make room for new wood, and 
you will have good crops about every season. Planted where they have partial shade 
of fence or buildings, they thrive luxuriantly, but they should not be planted under 
trees, as their roots will absorb too much of the moisture and richness from the soil.

Pomona — “While not the largest, is of good size. It is a fine, beautiful, clear, 
bright, almost transparent red; has few and small seeds, easily picked, hangs a long 
time after It is ripe, and is one of the best to hold up shipping or on the market. A 
vigorous grower, healthy and hardy; the most productive, one of the sweetest and 
best in quality; continues longest in profitable bearing; retains its foliage and hangs 
on bush in good condition longest; comes into bearing early, is easily and cheaply 
picked. It holds an unparalleled record for actual acreage yield in ordinary field cul- 
ture for over eighteen years; only one crop failure in that time. Has averaged over 
$450 per acre for four consecutive years on 6*4 acres.” — Albertson & Hobbs, introducers. 
Fay’s Prolific — Color, deep red: a great bearer; stems longer than Cherry, and 
berries hold their size to the end of the stem better; quality first-class, not quite so 
acid as the Cherry; one of the most prolific and best.
