CHOICE SMALL FRUIT PLANTS. 
n 
CURRANTS. 
For the best results, currants require a deep, rich soil and thorough cultivation. Plant in rows, 
5 feet apart, with plants 4 feet in the row. If they can be mulched during fruiting lime, it will 
add greatly to the size of the fruit. The currant worm is easily destroyed by dusting the bushes 
with powdered white hellebore, when the dew is on. 
One*year plants can be sent by mail at an additional cost of 15 cents per dozen, 40 cents per 
50, 75 cents per 100. 
CHERRY, Of VERSAILLES and RED DUTCH.—One-year, 50 cents per dozen, S3 
per 100, S25 per 1,000; two-years, 75 cents per dozen, S 5 per 100, S35 per 1,000. 
WHITE GRAPE.—One-year, 75 cents per dozen, S4 per 100; two-years, Sr per dozen, 
S6 per 100. 
VICTORIA.—A very vigorous, prolific, large, late variety, that is coming more into favor 
every year. We think it the most valuable of any of the older sorts. One-year, 50 cents per 
dozen, S3 per loo, S22 per r.ooo; two-years, 75 cents per dozen, $5 per 100, S35 per i,ooo. 
FAY’S PROLIFIC.—Has been carefully cultivated for the past nine years alongside of all of 
the popular varieties, and proved by far the most prolific of all. Color, rich red. “ As compared 
with the Cherry Currant, Fay’s Prolific is equal in size, belter flavor, with much less acid, 
and five times as prolific ; also, from its peculiar stem, less expensive to pick.” It is one of 
the few good things that will sustain all the claims made for it. Clusters five inches long, iviih 
fruit nearly as large as Delaware grapes, were picked from our bushes the past season. 
It is by far the strongest and most vigorous growing currant on our place. Every lover of 
choice fruit should at once put out plants of this most valuable new fruit. It is one of the few 
good things that you cannot afford to do without. 
We can now offer them at greatly reduced prices for spring of 1S85. One-year plants, 30 cents 
each, Sr.75 per 6, S3 per dozen, S22 per roo; extra selected, 50 cents each, $3 per 6, $5 per 
dozen, S40 per roo. 
GRAPES. 
In selecting the following list of grapes, our object has been to offer only such of the old vari¬ 
eties as from the hardiness and productiveness of the vine and quality of the fruit render them of 
great value for the family vineyard, and also such of the newer sorts as promise well. 
When to be sent by mail, add 15 cents per dozen, 40 cents per 50, and 75 cents per too 
for one-year vines, to the prices affixed.
