Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Ribes rubrum ‘Bertin’s Seedling no. 31’

‘Bertin Seedling’ is briefly mentioned in Card’s Bush Fruits, listed under Red and White Currants: ‘Appears in the Catalogue of the American Pomological Society for 1869’. [Card – Bush Fruits p.304/1920]. This is the only reference I have found.

History at Camden Park

Listed only in an Addendum to the 1857 catalogue as ‘ditto No. 31’, i.e ‘Bertyn’s No. 31’ [Currant no.4/1857]. I have assumed that this is a typographical error with ‘Bertin’s No. 31’ intended. See also Ribes rubrum L.
