large berries being of fine quality and

known varieties. Among the many new 
things we note a special strain of Bavarian 
garlic, a culinary relish not as yet greatly 
used in this country, but in high favor 
among foreigners. Among small fruits we 
notice the Marvin Crystal currant, which 
is described as bearing a great profusion 
of giant bunches and being nearly twice as 
productive as the Cherry currant. The 
berries are large, white in color, contain 
few seeds, and are much less acid than the 
old varieties
