Red Lake 
Currant 
RED LAKE CURRANT 
(See color illustration, page 32) 
Grow Your Own Currants—The Plants Take Up Little Space 
A new currant that comes from the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. A selection 
made from over 5000 new kinds. It was tried out over a period of years before being 
introduced and was found to be the best currant ever introduced. 
Up to the time Red Lake was introduced, Perfection Currant stood at the head of 
the list of all Currants. Perfection is a dark red Currant, the berry is very large, the 
bunch is long and well-filled out, it bears heavily, and the fruit was the sweetest of 
all red Currants. Perfection has all these good qualities, but it has one bad quality. 
It has a weak bush. As the bush ages, it breaks down and sprawls all over the ground. 
Red Lake has all the good qualities of Perfection. It is a dark red berry. The berry 
is as large as that of Perfection. The bunch is just as long and just as well filled out. 
It is just as sweet. It is just as good as Perfection in all respects, and it goes Perfection 
one better. It has what Perfection lacks—a good strong bush. 
Red Lake is an early midseason Currant, so it is on the market when it is at its 
best. Holds its dark green foliage very late. 
Strong 1-yr., No. 1 plants, 35c each; 3 for #1.00; 10 for #2.75 
Strong 2-yr., No. 1 plants, 60c each; 2 for #1.00; 10 for #4.25 
WHITE GRAPE CURRANT 
This is a pure white currant. Bunch is fairly long, berries are large, a pure trans- 
parent white, and very sweet. In fact, this is the sweetest of all currants and is the 
currant mostly used where the fresh fruit is put right on the table covered with sugar. 
2-yr., No. 1 bushes, 35c each; 3 for #1.00; 10 for #2.50 
POORMAN GOOSEBERRY 
A great improvement over the old varieties of gooseberries such as Downing, 
Houghton, Carry, etc. A great big new berry after the type of the large English 
gooseberries with much of the fine quality of the English kinds. A very large berry, 
red, juicy, sweet, thin-skinned and of best quality. Does best in heavy soils, either 
clay or loam, but not good for sandy soils. 
Strong, 1-yr., No. 1 (Postpaid) Each, 35c; 3 for #1.00; 12 for #3.50 
Strong, 2-yr., No. 1 (Postpaid) Each, 50c; 3 for #1.35; 12 for #4.00 
A large-growing shrub which very much resembles the bush of the Snowball. Leaves redden 
up in the fall and are very beautiful. The white flowers are not of great beauty but they are 
followed by a profusion of bright red berries, in large clusters, which hang on way into the 
winter and make a wonderful lawn ornament. These berries are fine for culinary purposes 
and make a jelly that looks and tastes exactly like that of the marsh cranberry, such as one 
buys at the grocery. 
Nice to plant as individual shrubs, either in clusters or in long rows as a background. Grows 
to a height of eight to twelve feet. Old bushes will often bear a bushel of fruit in a single year. 
If planted on the farm, where there is plenty of room, nothing else is nicer than a full row of 
High Bush Cranberry planted along the north side of the garden, where it will produce loads 
of fruit and at the same time act as a dense low windbreak for the garden. So planted, bushes 
should be set six feet apart. 2 to 3 ft., 50c each; 10 for #4.50; 25 for #9.00 
JUNEBERRY 
The Juneberry resembles in every way the blueberry. 
Looks like the blueberry, tastes like it, and makes pies and 
sauce like it. But you can cultivate and grow the Juneberry 
right in the garden, while you cannot grow the blueberry. 
Juneberry is also a beautiful shrub to have for early bloom¬ 
ing in big clumps in the border where it will bloom and 
bear fruit at the same time. 
12 to 18 in., 3 for #1.00; 10 for #2.50 
18 to 24 in., 3 for #1.25; 10 for #3.00
