Red Lake 
Currant 
The New Giant Red Currant 
The introduction of Red Lake by the Minnesota 
LolkC 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 extra large 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 productive. It’s easy to grow and you 
will enjoy picking 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. 
^ GOOSEBERRIES 
fltlf TPURTT Bramble fruit like blackberries, rasp- 
^*^ #m ** wm **^ berries, etc., should have all old 
wood (older than the previous season’s growth) cut out 
close to the ground each spring and the past season’s 
growth should be trimmed back to 3 or 4 feet in height. 
All of the old canes should be removed and burned. 
Mulching of currants and gooseberries will give good 
results. A strawberry bed should have a light coating two 
inches deep of eoarse hay, or straw that is free from weed 
seed, after the ground has just frozen ; and in the spring 
just about the time growth starts, this covering should be 
raked between the rows and allowed to remain there until 
the fruit has been harvested. Then it should be removed 
and cultivation be resumed. 
Set 3 to 4 feet apart, in good rich soil, and give a liberal dress¬ 
ing of manure every season. Regular pruning every year is 
essential. To prevent mildew spray bushes soon as leaves appear 
and several times during the summer with potassium sulphide 
(liver of sulphur)—one ounce to 
four gallons of water.
