showing the well filled clusters, and large 
berries of this splendid variety. It is the 
largest of the red currants, bearing re¬ 
markably well. Berries not very' sour, 
few seeds, and bright red. Perfection is 
of excellent quality for canning and jelly, 
due to the large fruit and clusters, you 
can pick a basket full of Perfection Cur¬ 
rants as quick as picking Cherries. Per¬ 
fection is hardy anywhere in the Middle 
West. It should be the main variety in 
every Currant planting, for home use' or 
market. 
f" , rrrri£» Berries, small to medium, and 
1 of maroon color when fuHy 
ripe. The bush bears enormous numbers 
of berries and if they were a little larger 
this would be the best variety to plant. 
For home use you will like Carrie, include 
a few of them in your planting. The 
shrub is very hardy, can be planted any¬ 
where. 
White Grape Currant 
A sweet, white Currant, and a good 
bearer that can be grown anywhere, 
except the extreme North. For fresh 
eating you will find this berry better 
than the Red Currants. White Cur¬ 
rants are quite sweet, having little 
of the acid of red varieties. 
Chautauqua, Giant Size, 
By far the largest berry; sweet 
tjwwi w hen fully ripe. Excellent for 
canning, pies and for fresh eating. The 
only Sweet Gooseberry on the market. 
The bush is of spreading habit, hardy 
anywhere in the Middle West. Bears al¬ 
most as heavy as Oregon Champion. For 
Chautauqua as well as all other varieties 
of Gooseberries, also Currants, I recom¬ 
mend a spray application early in the 
spring, before the leaf buds open, con¬

of agriculture. I apply for the permit, you have no papers to sign, but your order 
should reach me 2 to 3 weeks before shipping time, so that I have time to get the 
special permit. To all above states Currants and Gooseberries are shipped in seoarate 
packages. No extra cost to you for permits. ^ 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Gooseberries and Currants should have a little shade. The east or north sides of buildings or under large trees are better than 
out in the open. Water them well for the first year in case of dry weather. Pruning of Currants is recommended for old plants 
only, removing the oldest wood. This is done in early spring. Gooseberries should be pruned every summer. When the berries 
are ripe, cut out the bearing canes entirely, this makes room for the new wood which bears the following year. Spray with 
Arsenate of Lead as soon as the leaf-worms appear. Cultivate the soil around these shrubs early in the spring.
