In 1892 the fruit from this 8*4 acres of POflONA CURRANTS was sold for over $ per acre, yet of the 83 rows making the '6% acres, 19 rows were planted in 1S87, 41 rows in 1889, and 23 rows in 1890, making the average time that these have been planted less than 2>}z years, and the 60 rows first planted had borne a heavy crop in 1891. Eighteen years with but one failure, and that in 1895. A heavy crop again 1896. Plants 18 years old produced this year more than two gallons each, and in 1S94 these same plants pro- duced,^ quarts each. Remember: The above unparalleled record is actual acreage yield (not estimated pro- duct of a few petted plants) and was secured by only good ordinary field culture. The POflONA is a most vigorous grower, open in habit, does not sucker badly, causing a choking at collar and dying out of inside branches, as do most others. Is entirely hardy and comes into bearing profitably the second year after planting. It costs but 5 cents per gallon for picking, so you can see what would be the net profits compared with other fruits. The net profit per acre in 1894, after paying for picking, crates, freight and commission, was $ per acre; or $ on the 6J< acres in one season. PRICES. Each. Per Doz.
