CURRANTS and 
GOOSEBERRIES 
ANDREW 
RED LAKE CURRANT x xx 
Outstanding Among New Fruits 
The introdutcion of Red Lake by the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm marks a big step for- 
ward 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 
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 
Read What Authorities Say— 

easy to sell. 
Then Plant Red Lake—for Home or for Market 
PROFESSOR ALDERMAN, Chief of Horti- 
culture, University of Minnesota, writes of the 
Red Lake Currant: “Some of its outstanding 
features which are of interest to commercial grow- 
ers are the large, long-stemmed clusters which are 
easy to pick and increase the speed of picking. 
The individual berries are large in size, resembling 
those of Perfection, but the clusters are larger and 
better than Perfection.” 
MR. FRASER, prominent New York fruit 
grower, writes regarding Red Lake: “The ra- 
cemes (bunches) grew fully six inches long, carry- 
ing 20 fruits, some % inch in diameter. There is 
an inch of neck with no fruit, making them easy 
to pick.” 
NEWS LETTER from Morden, Manitoba, 
writes: “Dietitians are confirming the convictions 
of our grandmothers that red currants impart a 
toning up of the whole physical system.” 
PROFESSOR GEO. L. SLATE, of New York 
Horticultural Station, writes of Red Lake: “The 
characteristics which make this variety worthy of 
notice are the long, well-filled clusters of large 
berries that are fully equal to those of Perfection 
and the bushes are much superior to the bushes 
of that variety. The berries are a light glossy red 
that is attractive, the skin is tough, the flavor 
pleasantly acid and the quality excellent. The long 
stems facilitate harvesting. At Geneva the bushes 
are vigorous, upright, and yield heavy crops.” 
DR. CLARK, formerly of New Jersey: “Red 
Lake has continued to yield fruit of large size borne 
on well-filled clusters. It has been superior in this 
respect, to Fay, Wilder, Perfection and London 
Market.”

CASCADE CURRANT xxx 
NEW! 
EXTRA BIG BERRIES! 
Another very outstanding Currant recently named and introduced. 
Cascade is a splendid companion for Red Lake. It’s just as hardy, just as productive, a little larger 
berry, not quite as long a bunch, has a shorter stem, a little more upright and ripens a week earlier. 
Professor Alderman says of Cascade: “‘A very large fruited red Currant 
with large clusters, very productive; ripens a week earlier than Red Lake.”

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 condi- 
tions. 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.
