A Large Currant.

From Meehan's Monthly.
Although no American garden in the
northern half of our continent is consid-
cred complete without some currant bush
cg it is rare we hear of them growing any
whore to the perfection that they do in En-
gland, although 1t is quite possible that
they may successfully contend for the palm
of superiority in Canatia. The currant does
not like long spells of warm, dry weather;
under these circumstances the leaves be-
come a prey to parasitic fungus, and we
ali know that injury to leaves is the first
stem towards deterioration. AT recent
meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society
in England the red currant called the Com
et was exhibited-in which the punches
Were six inches long. and some of the ber-
ries half an inch in diameter. With these
figures we may be able to decide how near
American currant growers can come to
this cxcellence of their English brethren.

An interesting feature of the show is the
large number of Bantams of the various
classes shown. The Big Cochin is shown
alongside the Bantam Cochin. the big
game aIonside the little Bantams and the
contrast will prove interesting, especially
as the Bantams are exceptionally well bred
fowls. They are possibly the most hand
scmc of any of the fowls shown not in
the ornamental class. owing to their petite
size as~d shapeliness.
