to stakes like grape vines. The fruit is 
very large, looks like blackberries but 
is very much larger. It ripens shortly 
after strawberries and is very much in 
demand in market. When cared for in¬ 
telligently, they produce immense crops 
of fruit which aiways sells well in mar¬ 
ket. 25 for 50c; 100, $1.50; 1.000, $10.00.

Currants 
The Currant requires a very moist, 
rich soil with a tenacious subsoil, in 
order to do its best. They will not 
thrive equally well on leachy sand or 
gravel. The plants should be set in 
rows about five to seven feet apart and 
about three feet apart in the rows. They 
must be kept clean of weeds and annu¬ 
ally fertilized. Nothing is better than 
a forkfull of rich barn manure placed 
about each plant late in the fall every 
year. Wood ashes and commercial fer¬ 
tilizers are also good. In trimming, it 
is better to remove part of the branches, 
when the bush gets crowded, and cut 
back any branches that have made an 
excessive growth. Just before the fruit¬ 
ing season, the plants should be mulched 
with coarse hay, or buckwheat may be 
sown between the rows and allowed to 
be tramped down by the pickers. After 
picking, the ground between the rows 
should be turned over with a ono-horse 
plow and clean cultivation given for the balance of the season. In the spring the ground 
should be thoroughly cultivated and the process kept up to within a short time before the 
fruit begins to ripen. The worms may be destroyed by any poison such as Hellebore, Parts 
Green and Arsenate of Lead, diluted with water.
