CURRANTS 
PERFECTION 
The number one currant with us, 
having both size and production. 
The Perfection that we have is from 
selected stock that has been built 
up from fruiting plants producing 
large and abundant fruit. In our 
district they have continued to out- 
tonnage all other varieties and 
StrainssOrecuLtants: 
Fruit is bright red, mild, sub-acid, 
of excellent quality. Grows in long 
bunches. Plants are dark green in 
color with upright growth, are large 
and vigorous when developed bu’ 
fail to make the growth of the 
Cherry or Fay’s when young. 
CHERRY 
One of the largest of all the cur- 

CURRANTS 
rants with much the same quality 
of the Perfection except that bunches are short and fewer and production 
therefore less. Plant characteristics are those of the Perfection. 
FAY’S PROLIFIC 
One of the older currants that has remained in favor because of its hardiness 
ard heavy prcduction. A faster grower than the Perfection, but failing to 
give the size of fruit. 
RED LAKE 
One of the newer currants in the West which was originated recently at 
the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. In the East claims are made 
that this currant is more productive than other varieties and that its long 
open bunches make picking easy. 
With us the plants are more vigorous and resistant to mildew than the Per- 
fection. Because it is so new it has not yet had a chance to prove its produc- 
tiveness here in the West against the Perfection.
