Currants are generally white, black and red, but yet each of these sorts differ in greatness as well as in goodness, accord∣ing to the care as is used about them, in the raising of them from suckers to fruitfull trees; the thing is plain, yet there are mistakes many times in it, therefore I would willingly give my evidence in it to insist upon it presently after Michael∣mas
take your suckers from your Currant trees, and if you have not ground ready for them to transplant them where they should alwayes grow, then plant them in a piece of ground by themselves at a foot distance, which may be fitly called a nursery, let them stand there while that time twelve moneth, then plant them into the middle of Strawberry beds at a yard distance, each tree bound to a stake, so that the wind may not break them, and put them out of uniform order.
Lastly observe, let these suckers be taken yearly from the roots of the old bearers, or otherwise they hinder them from being fruitfull, they must be pruned also, which is to cut away the superfluous branches which run above the rest and never bear fruit.
