Red Lake CURRANT ' 
The Fine Currant from the Minnesota 
Fruit Breeding 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 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.

finally named. It gave universal satisfaction and was named 
CASCADE. CASCADE is just as sweet a Currant as Red Lake. 
The berries are the same sparkling rich red in color. The bunch

derful eating. CASCADE ripens a full 
week before Red Lake does and is picked 
and gone when that variety comes on. One 
should plant both varieties in equal num-

for years to improve this fruit and 
they have succeeded in giving us sev- 
eral kinds that are far superior to 
anything 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
