RED LAKE 
CURRANT 
(Minnesota No. 24) 
This splendid currant is another triumph 
for the great Minnesota State Fruit Breed¬ 
ing Farm. University authorities and grow¬ 
ers throughout the country agree that this 
is the finest red currant yet introduced. 
Wherever it has been tried it has met with 
instant favor,—rapidly superseding older 
varieties in both home and commercial 
plantings. It is commonly said that Red 
Lake will be the most profitable of all small 
fruit crops for Minnesota. Large commer¬ 
cial plantings are already being made from 
the middle west on east into New York. 
The berries are unusually large, with ex¬ 
ceptionally long bunches, well filled out to 
the tip. They are so long that currant 
picking becomes not only easy, but a pleas¬ 
ure. The bushes are vigorous and very 
productive. Professor W. II. Alderman 
states that he believes it is the largest 
fruited and highest yielding currant in 
Minnesota. Ripens early mid-season and 
holds on the bush for a long time without 
“ shelling ” or shriveling so it can be mar¬ 
keted when prices are highest. Always 
brings top prices. We consider it the most 
profitable, not only of all currants, but of 
all small fruits as well. 
Supplies of this wonderful currant are 
limited so we urge early ordering. Strong 
two year plants, 50c each; $2.25 for 5; $5.00 
for 12. 
MARY WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS 
Mary Washington 
The Government’s Rustless Asparagus 
THIS GIANT ASPARAGUS, the result of years and years of 
plant breeding work done by the United States Department 
of Agriculture, is everywhere admitted to be the finest aspara¬ 
gus grown. Mary Washington seems to be the ideal asparagus 
as it is rust-resistant and surpasses all other varieties in yield 
and quality. Its enormous tender shoots of vivid dark green 
retain their tenderness and do not branch until well above 
cutting height. 2 yr. plants, 12 for 50c; 25 for 75c; 100 for 
$2.00; 1000 for $18.00. 
CHIVES —Perennial “grass onion,” whose spicy leaves make it popular in the kitchen 
giarden. 15c each. 
HORSERADISH —New Bohemian. One of the finest strains of Horseradish. Heavy crowns, 
15c each. 
MINT —Ever a favorite for flavoring jellies, sauce and beverages. 15c each.
