Native Black Currant—Ribes Americanum (X }4)- The fruit is immature. planting must be done very early, as growth begins at a low temperature. This makes spring planting undesir- able in nursery practice. Cuttings vary in length from 6 to 10 inches, according to soil and climate ; the drier the climate and the lighter the soil the longer should the cutting be. In planting, only 1 or 2 buds are left above the surface, and the soil should be pressed 613. Buffalo Currant (X K). firmly about the base. Rich, moist soil should be se- lected. A former practice was to cut out all lower buds in order to insure a tree form of growth. This is seldom practiced now, and never for commercial plant- ing. Single-eye cuttings under glass, greenwood cut- tings and layers may be employed, but have little to recommend them. Seeds may be used as a source of new varieties, and are best sown or stratified as soon as taken from the pulp. For the final planting either 1- or 2-year-old plants may be used, set at distances varying to suit the con- renie ' ' ' ~ venit vals. as pi impe of the cultivator.

Setting is most con- veniently done by marking the land in each direction, plowing furrows one way and planting at intersections. The soil should be closely firmed about the roots, with a loose layer left at the surface to act as a mulch. Where fall planting succeeds
