Small Fruits N connection with our specialty, Grape-Vines, we also grow a large stock of small-fruit plants of such varieties as have been tried and found valuable for profit in field culture, or desirable for the garden. We do not aim to fill our lists with all the novelties annually intro- duced, many of which prove worthless, or to be no improvement on existing varieties, but add yearly all such as stand the test of trial and comparison with older varieties and prove of sufficient merit to warrant us in offering them to our customers. We are testing many varieties not named in this Catalogue but which will be added when they have proved their claim to be worthy of general dissemination; we have tried to pre- sent only sorts of substantial merit. CURRANTS Plant in rows 6 feet apart and 4 feet apart in the rows, or, if to be cultivated both ways, 5 feet apart each way. Before planting the roots should be pruned as described for grape-vines, and in planting the same care should be taken to firm the earth about the roots. After planting, cut back the tops about one-half the previous year's growth. In market plantations the bush form of growing the plants is found most profit- able. For the first five or six years after setting, a few inches of the new wood, or current year's growth, should be cut off each fall. If this is not done the result will be a tall, barren stem with but few fruit buds. No plant will better repay generous treatment and high cultivation than the currant. Two or three forkfuls of good stable manure around each bush every fall is desirable. If this cannot be readily obtained, an experienced grower recommends the following special fertilizer: Pure ground bone 600 pounds Muriate of potash 250 " Nitrate of soda 150 " Apply the abo
