Currants 
RED LAKE— 
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 qual- 
ity 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. 

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 are 
rapid growing and vigorous. A. heavy 
bearer. Fruit on long stems and bushes 
sparse in thorns, hence they are easy to 
pick.

— 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. 
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. Price of Beta and 
Fredonia grape, 2 yr., 50c: 6 for $2.50. 
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 needs to be planted 
near some other variety that will furnish 
pollen. 
RED AMBER (Minn. No. 45)— 
This is undoubtedly one of the best of 
the recent introductions of the Minnesota 
State Fruit Breeding Farm. A very fine, 
large, red Grape of exceptionally high qual- 
ity. Perfectly hardy and need not be 
covered. Price of Blue Jay and Red Amber 
grape, 2 yr., 60c; 3 for $1.50.
