The New Giant Red Currant 
D W olc A introduction of Red Lake by the Minnesota 
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.

nrVIUIT Bramble fruit like blackberries, rasp- 
^'^*^*^***' berries, etc., should have all old 
[wood (older than the previous season’s growth) cut out 
[dose to the ground each spring and the past season’s 
growth should be trimmed back to 3 or 4 feet in height. 
I All of the old canes should be removed and burned. 
j Mulching of currants and gooseberries will give good 
I results. A strawberry bed should have a light coating two 
inches deep of coarse 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 
i raked between the rows and allowed to remain there until 
!the fruit has been harvested. Then it should be removed
