CAMPBELL’S EARLY. (E) Berries large, often an inch or 
more in diameter; black, with light purple bloom; skin thin, 
but very tenacious; flesh firm, but tender, parting easily from 
its few and small seeds. Flavor rich, sweet, slightly vinous, 
free from foxiness, and the seeds part readily. Season is early, 
and its keeping qualities remarkable, having hung upon vines 
sound and perfect for six weeks or more after ripening. (See 
cut.) 2-year vines, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz. 
London Market. The fruit is large, fire-red, and has large, fine 
clusters. It is a good grower, an early bearer, enormously 
productive, and holds its leaf till the snow flies. Price, 
2-year plants, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 
Fay’s Prolific. Fruit large, bright red, and of good flavor, less acid than the old 
Red Cherry,” which it is rapidly superseding, the latter being only sparingly 
grown. Price, two-year plants, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 
North Star. A most popular market sort. Bunches large; berries very large, 
bright. Very agreeable to eat out of hand. Superior to old Cherry Currant. 
White Grape. The largest and decidedly the best white variety, and one of 
the best of any for the home garden. Easy to eat out of hand. 
Lee’s Prolific. A fine black currant and a general favorite. Price (except 
where noted), 2-year plants, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
PERFECTION. Awarded the Barry Gold Medal by the Western N. Y. 
Horticultural Society because of its superior merit; the first fruit to achieve this distinction. 
It is a beautiful Currant; the color is a particularly bright red. Berry and bunch are 
larger than Fay’s Prolific and the size is well maintained to the end of the bunch. A valuable 
feature is its long stem from the bush to the first berry, making 
it easy to pick without crushing the fruit. 
It is a great bearer, superior to any other large sort. Rich, 
mild, sub-acid, plenty of pulp with few seeds. Less acid and 
of better quality than any other large currant in cultivation. 
(See cut.) Price, 
30c. each, $3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100.
