A 
VERY important new fruit. It attains a height of 7 to 9 feet, branching freely, shoots often growing 4 or 5 feet In 
one season. It bears an enormous crop every year of large black fruit the size of a grape, which are in quality en- 
from cuttings, and will yield a big crop in proportion to its size. It begins to n|>en the middle of July and continues to thi 
middle of August. Fruit hangs to 1 lie branches for a long time after ripening. The Currant worm does not infest this sort, 
and it is, in fact, entirely exempt from all insect ravages. It is perfectly hardy, and will stand the most severe climate with¬ 
out a particle of injury in any respect. Price of strong, healthy plants, 5(lc. each; 3 for $1.00.
