"We can speak well for its vigor and productiveness, but cannot say as to its Bize. It seems to be smaller than the largest.

The only black cur- rant worth growing. Large as cherries, smooth and good for making pies. Must be picked separately as the whole stem does not ripen at once 2 )C. each; $ per dozen. WHITE GRAPE. The sweetest and most desirable currant for fresh table use, but does not sell so well as red varieties on account of color. People want the color red in all fruits. Price of Fay, White Grape, Red Dutch, Cherry and Versailles, 6i>c. per doz.; $ per 100 for one year, and 75c. per doz.; $5 per 100 for two years. Parties wanting large lots will be quoted special prices. CURRANT CUTTINGS. Cut early in autumn and well calloused for spring planting. North Star and Fay, doz. 25c ; 100, $1; 10 )0 $5. Mixed varieties (all valuable), postpaid, doz. 20c.; 100 73c; 100DS4. Gooseberries, The American varie ies bear good crops and are not affected with mildew to any extent. The English varieties are very much larger and finer, hut are often ruined with mildew. This is readily held in check by spraying early in the spring, and as often as is accessary, with Bordeaux mixture. We find gooseberries a good crop. People are not much used to them, hut a taste can be readily cultivated to like them. We sell them for 10c. per quart at retail m Pulaski. HOUGHTON. A pale red variety, very productive but rather small. This and Dowrning are the most grown Hyde Park, Vt., May 29th. I received the plants all right and in good shape.
