Pixwell Gooseberry 
Extremely hardy and productive, attractive as well 
as useful in ornamental plantings. 
Red Lake Currant 
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 form' 
erly 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 productive. 
Little old currants can now be discarded to make 
room for Red Lake. 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. 
Pixwell Gooseberry 
This is the new gooseberry originated by Dr. A. F. 
Yeager at the North Dakota Experiment Station. As 
the name implies it “picks well.” The berries hang 
down on slender stems about two inches below the 
branches. This feature together with the fewness and 
relative softness of its thorns makes picking the fruit 
a quick and easy operation. Pixwell is absolutely 
hardy and a good vigorous grower, producing large 
bushes that carry heavy loads of fruit. The berries 
are large, oval, an attractive light green color when 
immature, ripening to pink. Even up at the Do¬ 
minion Experiment Station at Morden, Canada, 
Pixwell is considered the nearest thing to a “sure 
crop’’ of anything they grow. Plant some of these 
dependable bushes this year. Foliage colors up to be 
a most attractive ornamental bush. 
Como Gooseberry 
Named and introduced by the Minnesota State 
Fruit Farm. Como has many good features to recom¬ 
mend 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, roundish, green when ripe, holds 
to bushes well, resists scalding better than most va¬ 
rieties. Promising as a commercial berry.’’ Como is 
excellent for preserves and jam. 
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 mak¬ 
ing it possible to cut 
unbranched shoots with 
tight buds, often 2 feet 
long. There are a num¬ 
ber of different strains 
of the Washington type 
on the market, some 
known as Washington, 
others as Martha Wash¬ 
ington, Giant Washing¬ 
ton, and Mary Wash¬ 
ington. Experiments 
carried on at Cornell 
University indicate that 
the Mary Washington 
strain is much superior 
to Martha Washington 
strains. We supply the 
Mary Washington.
