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 anyhing 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 4 
Red Lake had been introduced. 
We think the Red Lake and the Cascade described below are 
the greatest of all Currants. 
This colored illustration shows a branch of the Red Lake. The 
picture was taken this last summer and is not exaggerated. It 
shows the actual size and color of fruit, length of stem, and im- 
mense 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. 
Every time we passed the Red Lakes after they ripened, we 
stopped and ate a handful or two. One wouldn’t do this with the 
ordinary Currant. 
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.

A New Currant 
THE CASCADE 
This is another super Currant 
coming from the Minnesota Fruit 
Breeding Farm. CASCADE was 
selected for trial at the station 
many years ago as Minnesota 
No. 70. It was thoroughly tried 
out in many different parts of 
the country before it was finally 
named. It gave universal satis- 
faction and was named Cascade. 
CASCADE is just as sweet as 
Red Lake, the berries are of the 
same rich dark red color and 
larger than the Red Lake berry, 
but the bunch is shorter. 
CASCADE ripens a full week 
before Red Lake which together 
with its many other desirable 
qualities makes it a “must have” 
Currant.

RED RUBY The New Rhubarb 
If you like Rhubarb at all, you will 
surely like the new kinds coming to 
us from the Canadian Experimental 
Station at Ottawa. They have worked 
for years to improve this fruit and 
they have succeeded in giving us sev- 
eral kinds that are far superior to any- 
thing we have had before. Their idea 
was to breed as much sourness out of 
the Rhubarb as possible so as to make 
a sweeter sauce and to breed pink and 
red into the fruit to make it more 
attractive. 
Ruby is one of their new varieties. 
It is very sweet compared to the old 
kinds mother and grandmother used 
to have and it makes up ‘into a beau- 
tiful red sauce.
