PLANT THE NEW STRAWBERRY 
roundish in shape, whitish green in color, smooth skin and strongly acid in 
flavor. It might be said, however, that all gooseberries do better in the cooler 
climates, such as coast sections and higher altitudes. Downings is well rec¬ 
ommended for the making of pies and other home cookings. 
Oregon Champion 
So called as it is indeed, the champion of goose¬ 
berries. It was originated in Oregon and has but few 
thorns which certainly is an attractive feature to those growing gooseberries 
for market purposes. 
It is a vigorous grower and produces berries of large size, brownish red in 
color when ripe and of fine flavor. We do not hesitate to recommend this 
variety for planting in all gooseberry sections.

Cherrv The Cherry currant is an erect,, stout, vigorous grower and a heavy 
^ producer. Like most other varieties of currants it does not do well 
in the warm valley climates but is very productive and highly recommended 
for the coast and cooler climates. # . 
The berry is large, of a deep red color, rather acid in flavor, and is a good 
keeper. It is highly recommended for home use for the making of red currant 
jelly and also for the making of pies, aside from being valuable in the family 
garden it is largely grown for market purposes. 
Favs Prolific Originated in Chautauqua County, New York, and is sup- 
^ posed to be a cross between the Cherry and the Victoria 
currants. 
The berries are of large size and a fine flavor. The bush grows to a large 
size, has plenty of foliage and is an exceedingly heavy producer. 
It is said by growers of currants that the Fay’s Prolific has been known, to 
yield three times the crop of other red varieties when planted side, by side. 
We certainly do not hesitate to recommend this variety for planting in all red 
currant sections. 
White Grape The bush of this variety has a tendency to grow rather low 
and is of decidedly spreading habit. The foliage is of a beau¬ 
tiful dark green color and affords ample protection to the currants. 
It is a strong, healthy bush and is very productive. The berries are unlike 
any of the other varieties we have described, being of a yellowish white in 
color, sweet and of a mild acid flavor. Highly valued for table and home use.

Crandall’s Black While most currants and gooseberries do well in the 
cooler climates and coast regions, there are scarcely any 
varieties to be found that are adapted to the warmer and valley sections. 
Crandall’s Black, however, has been planted quite extensively throughout the 
San Joaquin Valley and other hot regions of California and has been found to 
be a vigorous grower and a good producer. 
It is said to be a seedling of the wild currant. The berries are large, often 
being from one-half to three-quarters of an inch in diameter. The fruit, is of 
good quality and fine flavor. We know of plantings of this variety in the very 
warmest districts that are producing well and bring the highest market prices. 
Those in warm regions who desire to plant currants for their own use we do 
not hesitate to strongly recommend the planting of this variety.
