Has been carefully cultivated for the past ten years alongside of all the popular varieties, and proved by far the most prolific'of all. Color, rich red. ' As compared with the Cherry Cur- rant, Fay's Prolific is equal in size, better flavor, with much less acid, and five times as prolific ; also, from its peculiar stem, less expensive to pick.' It is one of the few good things that will sustain all the claims made for it. We have picked clusters five inches long, with fruit nearly as large as Delaware grapes, i-year, 75c. per doz., $4 per 100 ; 2-year, §1 per doz., 87 per 100. Lee's Prolific. By far the best of all the black Currants. Very strong grower ; enormously productive ; large, long clusters of very large berries of superior quality ; ripens extremely early, and yet will remain on the bushes in good order a very longtime. 2-year bushes, $1 per doz., S5 per 100.
