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 midseason, 
but holds on over a long period so it can be 
used or marketed as desired. 2 yr. plants, 
60c; 3 for $1.50; 3 yr. plants, $1.00. 
Gooseberries 
PIXWELL— 
One of Professor Yeager’s wonderful pro- 
ductions. 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, hence 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 vine is vigorous and productive and 
ripens its fruit 3 weeks earlier than Con- 
cord. 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. 
BLUE JAY (Minn. No. 69)— 
This grape has very compact, large clus- 
ters of berries, about the same size as Con- 
cord. They are dull black and covered with 
a bluish bloom. When first colored and 
apparently ripe, they are rather acid, but 
if allowed to remain on the vine for 10 to 
14 days longer, they become mild and 
pleasing in flavor. Also good for making 
juice and jelly. This variety needs to be 
planted near some other variety that will 
furnish pollen.

PEAT 
FOR LAWNS AND GARDENS 
Moss Peat mixed with sandy soil enables 
it to retain moisture, or if incorporated into 
a heavy clay soil will prevent it from be- 
coming too sticky when wet or from baking 
brick-like during dry weather. A mulching 
on the surface holds the moisture in the 
soil and prevents injury to the roots from 
drought or severe freezing. 
We have Moss Peat in the granulated 
form, in large bales at $4.85, or in any 
smaller quantity.
