Currants 
The Currant requires a very moist, rich soil with a tenacious subsoil In order to do its 
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 rows. They must be kept clean of weeds and an- 
nually fertilized. Nothing Is better than a forkfuU of rich manure placed about each plant late 
In the fall e<very year wood ashes and commercial fertilizers are also good. In trimming, It is better 
to remove part of the branches when the bush ge^ crowded, and cut back any branches that 
have made an excessive growth. Just pefore the fruiting 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 one-horse plow 
and clean cultivation given for the balance of the season. In the spring the should be 
thoroughly cultivated and the process kept up to within a abort time before the fruit begins to ripen. 
The worms may be destroyed by any poison such as Hellebore, I aris Green and Arsenate of X^ead 
diluted with water.

I sent to you for the Fendal and Greenville straw¬ 
berry plants and they was sure the biggest berries 
1 ever raised. 1 also sent for some Progressive the 
same time but they didn't grow so big until this 
spring. They are looking very fine. As we had a 
very hard frost and lost most of our other kinds,
