NEW RED LAKE CURRANT xxx 
OUTSTANDING AMONG NEW FRUITS 
_ The introduction of Red Lake by the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm marks a big step 
forward in Currant culture. It is fast replacing even such standard sorts as Perfection. 
The big berries are borne in long bunches, well filled to the tip. Exceptionally long stems make 
Me them easy to pick. It ripens in early midseason, but holds on over a long period, thus it can be 
used or marketed as desired. 
.. ‘The bushes are thrifty and very productive. It’s easy to grow—easy to pick—easy to sell.

PIXWELL GOOSEBERRY 
This is the new Gooseberry originated at the North Dakota Experiment 
Station. As the name implies, it “picks well.’ The berries hang on slender 
stems about 2 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, pro- 
ducing large bushes that carry heavy loads of fruit. The berries are large, 
oval, an attractive light green color when immature, ripening to pink. The 
Morden, Manitoba, News Letter of January 7, 1938, says: “Pixwell bore 
heavily and continues the leading Gooseberry for general Manitoba conditions. 
It is exceedingly vigorous in bush and always bears heavy crops.” Plant some 
of these dependable bushes this year. Foliage colors up to be a most attractive 
ornamental bush. Price, page 21.
