They are Ribes bracteosum, which infavorite locations produces great bushes, 6 feet in height, and someseasons produces heavy crops of large black berries covered with ablue bloom. These berries are of superior value for jams and jelliesand are much sought after by Alaskan housewives. Another speciesis the R. laxijlorum. It differs from the foregoing in that the racemesare very much longer, but most of the berries are abortive. The fewberries that are produced differ but little from those of the precedingspecies.
