an abundance for family use. |

CURRANTS o vccsesoio necessity 
Nothing makes such jelly, with perhaps one exception, the crab, Ondik not 
must give way to the bright color produced by the Currant. 
Currants love a cool, deep soil, and a little shade. Among fruit trees or 
along the north side of a fence is a good place. No matter how good the 
soil; give good cultivation and plenty of manure. The following varietiés 
will give good satisfaction. Plant 4 feet apart. 
*DIPLOMA. Is called an improved Perfection. Fruit fully as {4% 
large, and quality équal. Heavy bearer. Bush is strong grower 
which is not the case with Perfection. Is perfectly hardy in 
the West. and North, and stands heat well. A great improvement 
Over the older common currants. 
*¥NEW RED LAKE. originated at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding 
Farm, tested itn many localities, and everywhere promises to 
become the leading Red Currant for both home and commercial 
growers. The berry 1s unusually large in size and of superior 
quality; the clusters are long and well filled. The color is 
4 clear light red and the quality excellent. The bush 1s vig- 
orous, upright, and productive.
