The introduction of the Red Lake Currant 
ann a by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm marks a 
: py big step forward in Currant culture. It is fast 
replacing even such standard sorts as Perfection 
and Wilder. 
The berries are borne in long bunches, well 
filled to the tip. Exceptionally long stems make 
them easy to pick. It ripens in early mid-season, 
but holds over a long period, thus it can be used 
or marketed as desired. 
Red Lake is thrifty and productive. It’s easy 
to grow, easy to pick, easy to sell. Dr. Clark, 
formerly of the New Jersey Fruit Experiment 
Station says: “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.”

Extra Big Berries 
Cascade is a splendid companion for the Red Lake. 
It’s just as hardy, just as productive, has a larger berry 
but not as long a bunch and ripens a week earlier. The 
bush is a little more upright, and is more resistant to 
mildew. Professor Alderman says of Cascade: “A very 
large fruited red Currant with large clusters, very pro- 
ductive; ripens a week earlier than Red Lake.”
