CURRANTS We do not think the value of this fruit can be overestimated. For every reason it should be plentiful inevery pantry. The3 should be planted in good deep soil, in a cool location and manured very heavily. Plant 4 by 5 feet,work like raspberries, keep the soil moist and free from weeds, and mulch with manure; if the best quality offruit is desired, they should be pruned every year and all old wood cut from them, keep them thinned out so thatair can freely pass through them. Currant worms can be destroyed by using hellebore; dissolve one ouncein three gallons of water, and apply with a syringe or .small sprinkling can. This can be done with verylittle expense if performed at the right time. White Grape—Very large, yellowish white, sweet or verymild acid, excellent quality and valuable for the table. Thefinest of the white sorts. Very distinct from White Dutch,having a low, spreading habit and dark green foliage. Ver
