Small Fruit 
“Grow your own,” says County Agent Daellen- 
bach. Your money invested in a well planned and 
cared for small fruit plot will yield an amazingly 
large interest. And what fun it is to pick your 
berries. They are good. fresh, canned or frozen. 
Currants 
Cascade—Just lately introduced by the Minnesota 
station. High quality, large fruit, 2-year bushes, 
each 55 cents. 
Red Lake—Has now become the nation’s stan- 
dard. Large berries on a strong bush, a_ very 
reliable bearer. Should be more widely grown. 2- 
year plants, each 55 cents. 
Gooseberries 
Pixwell—The introduction of this variety by 
Prof. Yeager of North Dakota did a great deal 
to encourage the growing of gooseberries. Be- 
cause of the long stems on the berries they are 
easy to pick. The berries are large and of the 
best quality, fine for pie, jam, sauce, and a de- 
light to eat fresh. Dark pink when ripe. Heavy 
two-year grade, 90 cents postpaid, 3 for $2.40; 
two-year No. 1, 75c each, 3 for $2.00; one-year, 
each 50c, 5 for "$9. 00. Gust Visser of Ada says it 
is a tremendous yielder.

Grapes 
Beta—Entirely hardy, useful for jam, jelly and 
juice. Good also as a vine for a trellis or porch. 
Each 50 cents. 
Minnesota No. 27—A better quality, larger blue 
grape. Each $1.00. 
Minnesota No. 78—The earliest hardy grape, good 
quality. Needs a pollinator. Each $1.00. 
Blue Jay—Larger and much better quality than 
the Beta. Each $1.00. 
Rhubarb 
New varieties have greatly increased the popu- 
larity of rhubarb and justly so. It is high in 
vitamin C and appreciated especially early in the 
spring. These new _ ones are good all summer, 
even better. Makes. the nicest shortcake, jelly, 
sauce and juice. Requires less sugar than older 
varieties.
