Dayton s Bluff Station, St. Paul, Minn. 
Either Zumbra or Nicollet 
will bear fruit alone but 
cross polonization is more 
complete when the two are 
planted close together. 
Nicollet —One of the latest 
productions of the Minne¬ 
sota State Fruit Breeding 
Farm. The fruit almost a 
true cherry. When canned, 
one cannot detect the dif¬ 
ference from canned cher¬ 
ries. 
Sapa—A well-known intro¬ 
duction of Prof. Hanson’s. 
Oka— A very compact, vigor¬ 
ous growing tree. Heavy 
yielder.

Red La\e Currant 
RED LAKE CURRANT 
This new currant was originated recently at 
the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm at 
Excelsior, Minnesota, and promises to replace 
all other varieties in the cherry currant class. 
The berry is very large and is borne on long 
stems forming exceptionally long well filled 
bunches. The quality of fruit is very good, the 
ripening season is medium and the plant a heavy 
yielder. While this new variety produces large 
berries in long bunches, its most valuable 
quality is the sturdy upright type of bush. 
This vigorous upright way of growing of Red 
Lake Currant is lacking in many of the older 
varieties. Because of the above qualities, Red 
Lake is undoubtedly going to be the leading 
currant.
