Ribes rubrum ‘Bertin’s Seedling no. 9’
‘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. See also Ribes rubrum L.

History at Camden Park
Listed only in an Addendum to the 1857 catalogue as ‘Bertyn’s No. 9’ [Currant no.3/1857]. I have assumed that this is a typographical error with ‘Bertin’s No. 9’ intended.
