Narrative

This old variety is probably a cross between the common red and the common white currant. The wood and foliage are very similar to that of the common red. The American Pomological Society included the variety in its fruit catalog from 1862 to 1871. Plants vigorous, productive, bunches medium in length, loose, berries large, pale pinik, rather acid, late. Esteemed in France for making jelly.
