Currants are Healthy 
The currant is one of the most reliable of small fruits. They mature just before 
raspberries and can be used either raw or cooked. Being hardy, they do not winter 
kill, are easy of cultivation and require little care. They can be grown in any good 
garden soil. The market is never over-supplied. Prune out dead wood, and mulch 
heavily. If currant worms appear spray with arsenate of lead. 
CHERRY—Very large, deep red; rather acid; 
bunches short, plants erect, vigorous and very 
productive. 
FAY—Color deep red; great bearer; stems longer 
than Cherry, and berries hold their size to end 
of stem better. Quality first class. 
PERFECTION (Red)—This truly wonderful 
new currant has both large and extra good quaJ- 
ity. Perfection healthy, a vigorous grower, and 
in fact an extra fine red currant in every way. 
RED LAKE—Originated in Minnesota. It has 
been well tested and should prove a success in all 
sections. The berry is very large and a bright 
red. A heavy yielder and should stand at the top. 
WHITE GRAPE—Very large, yellowish white. 
The finest of the white sorts. 
WILDER—Very light; bright red and attractive; 
a splendid market sort; not so acid as most. Bush 
very productive; large bunches; ripens rather 
early; fruit keeps well. 

Blueberries 
Blueberries 
These are now being successfully grown in 
many places of the north. Experts have succeed- 
_ed in producing improved varieties from the old 
familiar Huckleberry or Blueberry. Berries much 
larger and ripening at different seasons. The 
bushes themselves are very ornamental, They re- 
quire an acid soil and a moist, well drained loca- 
tion. As they are not self fertile, several plants 
should be planted in a group for polenization 
purposes. We now carry a limited stock of the 
leading varieties as Concord, Rancocas and Rubel. 


BULBS 
We also carry a line of Bulbs for both spring 
and fall planting.-

of large size; smooth, prolific and hardy, of best 
quality. Has been well tested over a wide extent 
of territory by the side of all the leading varie- 
ties and so far the freest from mildew.

being especially large and attractive. The best 
red variety for Ohio. Downing Gooseberries
