The Culture of the Currant and the Gooseberry i6oi The directions for growing the red currant apply equally well to the black, except that in the case of the red currant the major part of the fruit is borne on two- or three-year wood, while in the case of the black currant it is mostly borne on wood of the previous season's growth. There- fore, for the red currant, prune to retain the two- and three-year wood and for the black currant prune with the object of obtaining one-year wood. The main difference in culture is that the bush of the black currant grows a little higher, and hence the rows and the plants should be farther apart. There are many varieties of black currants grown on the experiment station grounds and by nurserymen. The more common of these varie- ties are Black Champion, Crandall, and Fig. 250.—Currant worms.
