CURRANTS 
RED LAKE 
currant was originated recently 
This new currant was originated recently 
at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm, 
and promises to replace all other varieties in 
the cherry currant class. The berry is very 
large and is borne on long stems forming ex¬ 
ceptionally 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 character is lacking in many of the older 
varieties. Because of the above qualities, Red 
Lake is the leading currant. 
MINNESOTA NO. 70 
We offer a very limited supply of this new 
currant this year for the first time. No. 70 is a 
very large currant and the bush a thrifty 
grower. Bush is upright in growth and a heavy 
yielder. This is a very promising variety and 
seems to be superior to Red Lake in some 
respects. We advise at least a few of this new 
variety for trial.
