Red Lake CURRANT 
The Fine New Currant From the Minnesota Station 
The Minnesota Station has been working with the currant 
for thirty or more years, trying to produce a variety that was 
better than anything we so far had. 
In this work they have succeeded beyond expectations. They 
have produced several new currants but up to last year only 
the Red Lake had been introduced. 
We think the Red Lake is the greatest of all currants. The 
colored illustration of the Red Lake is not exaggerated. It shows 
the actual size and color of fruit, length of stem, and immense 
production just as it actually is. 
It is a tremendous bearer of great big currants that are won- 
derfully sweet when ripe and never as sour as other red varieties. 
In going down through the orchard from the house to the 
office or back home from the office, I pass the planting of Red 
Lake currants. When these currants are ripe, I always stop 
and pick and eat several handfuls. Now I couldn’t do this with 
the old sour varieties of currant but I simply can’t resist the 
Red Lake. It is the 
Sweetest of All Long-Bunched Red Currants 
In the North, where one happens to live near a good market 
and where currants are not grown in quantity, fine returns 
could be derived from growing this variety commercially.

RUBY - The New Red RHUBARB 
All who like good rhubarb sauce made early in the season, 
(and who doesn’t) will certainly like Ruby, the new red rhu- 
barb from the Canadian Experimental Station. It is much 
sweeter than old types of rhubarb and makes a sauce which is 
a rich red in color. If our large plants are set out reasonably 
early this spring, you can have sauce this same season. From 
2 to 4 roots should be enough for a small family. 
Strong plants, 2 for $1.00; 6 for $2.50, postpaid 

NOTE: Plant Rhubarb just as you would a Peony root with the 
top of the crown 2 inches below the top of the ground. 

“WHITE GRAPE CURRANT 
It is nice to have a few bushes of white currants with a 
planting of reds. Until the coming of the Red Lake Currant, 
the white currants were the sweetest of all currants and we 
surely like to go right to the bushes of White Grape now when 
they are dead ripe and have taken on a golden color, and stand 
and eat our fill. You will, too. Strange to say, white currants 
make a red jelly. 
Also nice to mix a few glistening white currants with the 
reds in a dish on the table. It adds attractiveness to the dish.
