Being satlsOed that there would be a large demand for the 
hner varieties of Currants, we have been engaged for years 
In making a collection which we believe is much the largest 
and best in the country. 
The demand for this excellent fruit has greatly Increased 
within a few years, and though the market has been glutted 
with common kinds, we have had no difficulty In obtaining 
high prices for the Oner sorts. The many purposes to which 
the Currant can be devoted. Its cooling and refreshing acid¬ 
ity In the hot summer months—Its wholesome Influence, and 
the ease and profit with which It can be cultivated, ought 
to make It a thousand fold more abundant than it Is. 
Unr collection Includes: 
Vrrsaillaise.— Perhaps the best of all. 
Fertile tl* Anjjers.— Very similar to above. 
Cherry-.— Best for Jams and Jellies. 
I.a native.— Vigorous grower and very good. 
V'irtorla. —Good and very late. 
White Grape.— Beautiful, very large. Mild flavor, very 
palatable, enormous bearer, good for 
dessert, wine and other purposes, 
lilaek Naples.- Good for Jams and Jellies.
