Currants 
The currant re<)uires a very moist, rich, strong soil to do its best. The 
c\ilture is very similar to gooseberries. They must be kept clean early in the 
summer before fruiting, and when in fruit, must be mulched with straw or 
some Quick growing crop, like buckwheat, be sown to keep down weeds and to 
act as a carpet for the pickers. After fruiting, the mulch should be removed, 
the old surplus wood cut out and clean cultivation be given. If sprayed with 
poison to kill the worms and with bordeaux or lime and sulphur, to keep the 
foliage from mildewing, the growth will be large, the bushes will remain 
healthy and large annual crops can be gathered.

Perfection. —A new variety of great 
merit. We have fruited it several 
years and consider it the best variety 
of currant now before the public. It 
is productive, extremely large and 
picks easily. The picture of this cur¬ 
rant shown herewith, was made from 
a photograph taken at the Geneva, N. 
Y., station in July, 1901. It is a seed¬ 
ling of Fay and White Grape, resem¬ 
bling both in many respects. The 
flavor is very fine. In size, it equals 
or exceeds the Fay. Probably the 
most popular new variety now before 
the public. It has won medals and 
diplomas wherever placed on exhibi¬ 
tion, 20c each: doz., $2.00: 100, $10.00.
