Beta Grapes 
GRAPES 
We propagate our Grape plants from wood 
taken from our own bearing vineyards, thus assuring 
plants that will be good yielders. We propagate 
Grapes in quantities, which permit us to offer them 
at exceptionally low prices. 
Strong, 2 year old plants, 40c each; $2.50 per 
10; $5.50 per 25; $20.00 per 100. 
BETA —We advise the Beta above all others for 
Minnesota and the Northwest. The vines are as 
hardy as the wild grape, which means they do 
not require protection in the winter as many of 
the other varieties do. Fruit is of the best quality 
to use for jelly or juice, as it has some of the wild 
grape flavor. Fruit is nearly as large as Concord, 
and a much better yielder in this climate. Ripens 
the first of September. 
ALPHA —A variety very similar to Beta. It equals 
Beta in yield, size and hardiness, and is claimed 
by many to surpass Beta in quality. 
CONCORD— A well-known variety of purple 
Grape which is semi-hardy in this climate. 
WHITE NIAGARA —A large variety of White 
Grape that is semi-hardy in Minnesota. 
Gooseberries 
Prices: 2 year, No. 1 , 35c each; $3.00 per 10; 
$25.00 per 100. 
COMO— This is a vigorous grower, very produc¬ 
tive, perfectly hardy and is not susceptible to the 
Gooseberry diseases. The ripe fruit is as green 
in color as it is before ripening. 
PEPIN— This is a very large Gooseberry, ripening 
green. Very productive. 
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 varie¬ 
ties in the cherry currant class. The berry is very 
large and is borne on long stems forming exception¬ 
ally 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 pro¬ 
duces large berries in long bunches, its most valu¬ 
able 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 un¬ 
doubtedly going to be the leading currant. 
Strong 2 year old plants: 60c each; $4.95 per 10. 
2 year medium: 35c each; $3.10 per 10. 
Rhubarb 
MAMMOTH VICTORIA— This variety is larger 
and of better quality than any of the old varieties. 
Divided roots, 25c each; $1.75 per 10. 
Asparagus 
MARTHA WASHINGTON— This variety was 
recently originated by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture and is proving itself far superior to 
the older varieties. 2 year old plants, 75c per 25; 
$2.00 per 100; $12.00 per 1,000.
