Descriptive catalogue and price list of grape vines, small fruit plants, Nurseries (Horticulture) New York (State) Fredonia Catalogs; Berries Seeds Catalogs; Fruit trees Seeds Catalogs. 1 FREDONIA, N. Y. 13. CRANDAI,L.—New, Black. A seedling of the Mo. wild currant, is said to be the most productive of all small fruits, a rank grower, thoroughly hardy and free from insect enemies and disease. The fruit is of the largest size, is free from that rank odor of other black currant, has a peculiar flavor of its own and is as eatable off hand as the huckleberry which it resembles. But its greatest usefulness is for culinairy purposes, being unexcelled for pies, jams jellies. Keeps and carries well. Fay's Prolific—New. As large as the Cherry, with longer clusters, much more productive and better quality. A great improvement over the old varieties. La Versailles-Red. Nearly as large as the cherry, much more productive and not quite as acid. Very profitable. Lee's Prolific—New. Black. This variety is larger, more productive, sweeter and of better quality than any of the old black varieties. Hed Dutch—Very productive, good quality, but small. Victoria.—A strong grower and very productive of bright red berries on very long clusters. Very late and profitable. \' White Grape—Large, mild, of excellent quality and productive. Best of the white varieties for home use and market. Gooseberries. The gooseberry is a rank grower and gener- ally needs more trimming than the currant, otherwise its ciilture is about the same. It is usually picked just as it commences to ripen. The fruit is used for pies, tarts, canning, etc., and can be shipped in boxes and barrels as well as in crates. They accommodate themselves better to shady situations than any other fruit, indeed, shade seems to be just what they require. The demand for this fruit is not so great as that for other benies, but it is growing fast. Six to eight quarts per bush is a fair crop, but we have grown as many
