Currants 
RED LAKE CURRANTS— 
Originated recently at the Minnesota 
State Fruit Breeding Farm—finest of all Red 
Currants. The berry is unusually large in 
size and of superior quality; the clusters 
are long and filled out to the top, with 
stems sufficiently long to make picking 
easy. Berries are a clear light red and the 
quality excellent. The bush is vigorous, 
upright, and productive. Ripens early mid- 
season, but holds on over a long period so 
it can be used or marketed as desired. 2 
yr. plants, 60c; 3 for $1.50. 
Gooseberries 
PIXWELL— 
One of Professor Yeager’s wonderful 
productions. A cross between a native wild 
selection and a high quality cultivated sort. 
The berries are very large. The plants 
rapid growing and vigorous. A _ heavy 
bearer. Fruit on long stems and bushes 
sparse in thorns, hénce they are very easy 
to pick. 
CARRIE (The Thornless Gooseberry )— 
For many years Carrie has been the 
most widely grown gooseberry here in the 
Middlewest. It forms a vigorous, healthy 
bush and is a sure, regular bearer of large 
crops of berries of medium size which turn 
reddish brown as they ripen.

Grapes 
FREDONIA— 
The new outstanding, early black 
Grape. Fredonia is the earliest good black 
Grape. The vime is vigorous and_produc- 
tive and ripens its fruit 3 weeks earlier than 
Concord. Fruit is large, sweet and of good 
quality. 
WORDEN— 
A large, sweet and fine flavored grape. 
A fine dessert grape but needs winter pro- 
tection. 
BETA GRAPE— 
A heavy, annual bearer, hardy as the 
wild grape. Medium size black fruit of 
extra good quality for juice and jelly, and 
ripens so early that it can be grown far 
north. The Beta withstands our severe 
northern winters without protection. They 
may be grown on fences, over a building, 
or in a windmill tower and should bear 
heavily every year. 
PRICES OF GRAPE VINES 
2 yr., 50c: 6 for $2.50. 
Rhubarb 
RUBY RED— 
Another new Red Rhubarb introduced 
from Canada. The stalks are intensely red 
as the name implies—even the inside of 
the stalk is red. Rhubarb sauce made from 
Ruby is as red as strawberry sauce. The 
skin is so tender it can be cooked with the 
stalk. Both Ruby and MacDonald are 
money-makers on the market because they 
sell on sight at a premium over common 
Rhubarb. Price, strong divisions, 60 each; 
3 for $1.50. 
NEW CHAPMAN’S CANADA RED— 
One of the best of the new improved 
varieties. Very sweet, tender, of fine flavor, 
with extra-large stalks, bright red all the 
way through, the red color extending even 
to the mid-rib of the leaf. Does not lose its 
bright color in cooking, and both sauce and 
pies are an appetizing cherry-red color. 
Chipman's is vigorous in growth, of the 
hardy, everbearing type, and does not make 
seed. Price, 70c each; 2 for $1.30.
