. Superior quality and uniform grade guaranteed by this label on Hale's fruits : always best in market scientifically grown and fully ripened marketed by advanced methods. Nurseries (Horticulture) Connecticut Catalogs; Nursery stock Connecticut Glastonbury; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs. (25] J. H. Hale, South Glastonbury, Conn. Currants. None of the small fruits are so easily grown as Currants, for they will thrive and fruit fairly well year after year, even without any cultivation what- ever ; while with liberal culture and good feed it is aston- ishing to note their inclination to yield abundantly of their ruddy bunches of sprightly berries. While they prefer a deep, moist, loam soil, they will thrive upon any that is tillable, and may tte planted in fall or early spring. For a single row in the limited family garden plot, they may be planted as closely as 3 or 3 >^ feet apart ; for field culture where liberal culture is to follow, in check rows 5x5 feet is none too far apart. A field once established will fruit annually for many years, and as a staple farm crop yields as many bushels per acre as corn, yet is worth from four to six times as much in any market. Pinching back the new wood in May or June when it has made 4 or 5 inches of growth, tends to the development of most fruit buds. Heavy mulching of the ground about the plants before and during fruiting season increases the size of the fruit. The Currant worm is easily held in check by two or three times dusting the bushes with hellebore when the dew is on ; do it early—not after he has had a week's picnic on the tender foliage.
