FOREST TREES A NEW CURRANT 
GIANT RED 
Originated by E. P. Powell, an experienced fruit grower 
of Clinton, N. Y. It was put in my hands to be propagated 
and introduced. 
After a thorough trial in comparison with the leading 
varieties, Mr. Powell gives his opinion of it as follows, 
which is very conservative: 
“The Giant Red currant bears about one-third more 
than the Fay, and about that proportion in regard to every 
other currant grown, except White Grape. White Grape 
nearly equals it in annual bearing if grown in absolute 
perfection. Giant Red does not look larger in bush than 
Fay or Versailles for the first two or three years. It is about 
one-third larger when fully grown, and has a framework 
much better to keep fruit from the ground. In this regard 
it has no rival that I know except London Market. In 
quality it does not very much differ from Fay and Versailles. 
In my judgment London Market comes next to it for a first- 
class family or market fruit. So far as hardiness is con¬ 
cerned, I have never found very much difference between 
half a dozen of our best varieties.” 
Prices of plants and cuttings on application. Two-year 
plants with 12 inches of wood. Ready October first.
