PARCEL POST. Currants can be sent by parcel post, postage prepaid, for one cent per bush extra. 
Plant in rows 6 feet apart and 4 feet apart in the rows, or if to be cultivated both ways, 5 feet 
apart each way. Before planting, the roots should be shortened to 10 or 12 inches, and in plant¬ 
ing care should be taken to firm the earth about the roots. After planting, cut back the tops 
about one-half the previous year’s growth. No plant will better repay generous treatment and 
high cultivation than the currant. Two or three forkfuls of good stable manure around each bush 
every fall is desirable. 
For the benefit of the amateur fruit grower, we have set in heavy type and underscored 
such varieties as should be considered when making selections for commercial planting. 
Black Champion. Bush vigorous, and 
-productive; fruit 
averages above medium ; pulp nearly sweet, 
mild flavored. A desirable variety for gen¬ 
eral culture. 
Cherry/. Bush vigorous, stocky and com- 
--- pact; cluster rather short, with 
short stems; fruit averages large; color fine, 
bright red; berry thin skinned, juicy and 
fine-flavored. One of the most productive 
of the large Currants. 
Fay. (Fay’s Prolific). Bush vigorous but 
- not quite so strong a grower as Cherry; 
cluster medium to long, with rather long 
stems; color darker; and berry averages 
large; juicy and less acid than Cherry. An 
excellent commercial variety. 
Perfection. Bi color it is a beautiful bright 
- red, a size larger than the 
Fay; clusters average longer and the size of 
berries are maintained to the end of the 
bunch. It is one of the most productive Cur¬ 
rants we have ever known ; quality is superior 
to anything in the market, being of a rich, 
mild, sub-acid flavor and having plenty of 
pulp with few seeds. 
Wholesale Price of Perfection, 2 yr, 15 cents each, 
91.00 per lO, $9.00 per lOO, $75.00 per lOOO. 
Red Cross. A strong growing variety. 
- Cluster long; berry medium 
to large, bright red ; quality good to best. It 
is exceedingly productive, and the currants 
are of large size. Further than this, the fruit 
is far sweeter than ordinary currants. 
Wilder. (President Wilder). Bush upright, 
-- vigorous; clusters above medium 
length ; berries large to very large, averaging- 
large ; bright red ; excellent, with a mild sub¬ 
acid flavor. Ripens early and remains bright 
and firm until very late. Because of its ex¬ 
ceedingly vigorous growth, great productive¬ 
ness, high quality and remaining good so long- 
after ripening, we recommend this as one of 
the best red currants, both for table and 
market.
