RED LAKE CURRANT 
The Country’s Finest Red Currant 
This splendid currant is another triumph 
for the great Minnesota State Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm. University authorities and 
growers 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 
Ripens early mid-season and holds on 
the bush for a long time without “shelling” 
or shriveling so it can be marketed 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. Established plantings were 
producing from $500 to $1,000 per acre 
even at pre-Pearl Harbor prices, and the 
demand has been greater than the supply. 
Stocks of this wonderful currant are 
limited so we urge early ordering.

RASPBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES 
The canes of these 
brambles live only two 
years. Each year new 
canes grow up from the 
ground, produce their crop 
of fruit in the second year 
pol ——.of their life and then die; 
later crops are produced 
from the subsequent, annually produced 
new canes. 
Planting—The brambles may be planted 
in either spring or fall. They should be set 
1 to 2 inches deeper than they originally 
grew and after planting the canes should 
be cut to a stump of from 2 to 4 inches in 
height. Fall-set plants should be mounded 
up with dirt, and each mound lightly 
mulched with manure or other material. 
Planting Distances— 
Red Raspberries, Hill 4by 6or5 by 5 ft. 
Hedge 13 to 3 by 6 to 7 ft. 
Black Raspberries 3 to 4 by 6 to 7 ft.

Culture—Clean, thorough cultivation ~- 
should start early in the spring and con- 
tinue until the latter part of August. Later 
cultivation may induce later growth and 
resulting immaturity. Red raspberries 
should be restricted to 6 to 10 canes to the 
hill, or in the hedge row system to a spac- 
ing of 6 to 8 inches- apart in rows not over 
10 inches wide. After each fruiting season 
the old canes (those which have borne) 
should be removed at the ground line. Be- 
fore growth starts in the spring all weak 
and surplus canes should be removed at 
the ground and those remaining headed 
back somewhat—the amount depending 
upon the training and support system.
