Red Lake Currant 
This splendid currant is another triumph for the ^ 
great Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. Universi- ' 
ty authorities and growers throughout the country | 
agree that this is the finest red currant yet introduced. 1 1 
Wherever it has been tried it has met with instant |t ^i 
favor,—rapidly superseding older varieties in both Ij - 
home and commercial plantings. It is commonly said If 
that Red Lake will be the most profitable of all small it’- ■'p¥ ' * v^- 
fruit crops for Minnesota. Large commercial plantings iL' , .sltv- 1 . t ' i. ,'::.Tr,,.^.--i,. 
are already being made from the middle west on east 
into New York. 
The berries are unusually large, with exceptionally t airr 
long bunches, well filled out to the tip. They are so 
long that currant picking becomes not top prices. We consider it the most profit- 
only easy, but a pleasure. The bushes are ^ ^ . .. currants but nf all 
vigorous and very productive. Professor ^^uiSf as well

You are cordially invited to crank up the ol’ bus and visit our nursery. 
Such a visit will afford you an opportunity, especially during the grow¬ 
ing season, to see the various trees, shrubs, flowers when they are in 
bloom—or otherwise at their best. Those interested in fruits will find especially valuable 
a trip through our many acres of commercial fruit plantings where will be found producing 
plants of all the fruit varieties we list in our catalog. Our nurseries adjoin the south village 
limits of Long Lake, which is situated just 13 miles west of Minneapolis on State Highway 
No. 12.
