Mew Bin Red CURB AMT 
Como Gooseberry 
RED LAKE. The introduction of Red Lake by the State 
Fruit Farm marks a big step forward in Currant culture. It 
stands head and shoulders above any variety formerly grown 
in the Northwest. The berries are big and the bunches long 
and well filled to the tip. The exceptionally long stems make 
them easy to pick. The bushes are thrifty and extremely pro' 
ductive. Little old Currants can now be discarded to make 
room for Red Lake. It's easy to grow and you will enjoy pick' 
ing the big long bunches. Ripens early midseason, but holds 
on over a long period so it can be used or marketed as desired. 
It brings top prices on the market and is a splendid money' 
maker. We suggest you order early as the supply is limited. 
F. W. Mackey, Cattaraugus Co. N. Y., wrote: “The Red Lake 
Currants you sent me were the finest I ever saw. Am asking if you 
can spare me 25 more like them for spring setting?’’ 
COMO GOOSEBERRY. Named and introduced by the 
Minnesota State Fruit Farm. Como has many good features to 
recommend it to planters. The State Farm says: “Como is a 
vigorous plant, with exceptionally healthy foliage, relatively 
free from thorns, very productive; fruit medium in size, round' 
ish, green when ripe, holds to bushes well, resists scalding 
better than most varieties. Promising as a commercial berry.” 
Como is excellent for preserves and jam. Without question the 
best Gooseberry for the Northwest. 
CARRIE GOOSEBERRY. An old favorite in the fruit 
garden, heavy cropper and disease resistant. It has few 
thorns and is often called the Thornless gooseberry. 
MARY WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS. The shoots are 
large in size, early, prolific, and do not branch near the 
ground, thus making it possible to cut unbranched shoots with 
tight buds often 2 feet long. There are a number of different 
strains of the Washington type on the market, some known 
as Washington, others as Martha Washington, Giant Wash' 
ington, and Mary Washington. Experiments carried on at 
Cornell University indicate that the Mary Washington strain 
is very much superior to Martha Washington strains. We 
supply the Mary Washington. 
MacDonald Red The New Red Rhubarb 
(Color Cut Back Cover) 
Discard the old green'Stalk ox'cart Rhubarb and get a few 
plants of this new Crimson Streamlined MacDonald. It is 
the last word in Rhubarb. It is good to look at as well as 
good for you. In describing this variety Prof. L. G. Bunting, 
of MacDonald College, in Quebec, Canada, where this variety 
was originated, writes: 
“It is a very highly colored, attractive red stalk, of large size, 
productive, very tender and succulent, and of excellent quality, 
and particularly valuable for pies and desserts. Its color, when 
cooked without peeling, is as attractive as that of raspberries." 
Plant a few hills of this splendid Rhubarb in your garden 
this year. It yields heavily and lasts a lifetime. When once 
you try MacDonald, you will grow no other.
