-RED LAKE 
CURRANT 
This colored illustration shows a branch 
of the Red Lake. It shows the actual size and 
color of the fruit, : 
It is a tremendous bearer of great big Cur- 
rants that are wonderfully sweet when ripe 
and never as sour as other red varieties. 
If you live near a good market where Cur- 
rants are not grown in quantity, fine returns 
can be derived from growing this variety 
commercially.

* PIXWELL GOOSEBERRY 
Prof. Yeager of the North Dakota Station 
spent years and tried out thousands of seed- 
ling Gooseberries looking for a good Goose- 
berry with fewer thorns that could be easily 
picked. Out of all his seedlings he picked 
this one and named it Pixwell. It is not thorn- 
less but it has comparatively few thorns and 
these are so constructed as to give very little 
trouble in picking. 
Pixwell is considered one of the best 
Gooseberries in cold southern Manitoba.

CANADA RED RHUBARB 
We have tried out on our grounds 
during the last few years all of the new 
Rhubarbs as they have been introduced 
and we have finally settled on Canada 
Red as our choice for family planting. 
Canada Red is a wonderful Rhubarb. 
The flavor is mild and pleasant. The 
color of the sauce is a rich deep red. 
$1.00 each; 2 for $1.80; 6 for $4.75,

Planting Iustructions 
For Trees, Shrubs, including Lilacs 
Before an order for nursery stock reaches you, lay out your plans 
as to where you are going to place each item ordered. When the 
package arrives, place the bundle in a tub of water over night, or 
pour a pail of water into the package where the roots are baled. 
Dig all holes before starting to plant. Dig them large enough 
so that when the tree or shrub is placed in the hole, the roots when 
spread out naturally do not quite touch the sides of the hole. Dig 
deep enough so that when the dirt is all filled in, the plant is about 
2 inches deeper than it stood in the nursery row. 
While planting, keep all roots covered from the sun and wind. 
Spread the roots out and sift in fine mellow moist earth until the 
roots are all covered. Work the bush or tree up and down gently 
so that the dirt will sift in all around the roots. When the roots are 
well covered, get right in on top of the roots and tamp the soil down 
just as hard as you can. When this has been done (and do a good 
thorough job), fill the hole with water and let it seep away. 
Then fill the hole with mellow dirt and tramp the soil down 
again. Then mellow the surface to a depth of an inch and keep the 
soil cultivated all during the growing, season. 
We believe if the trees and shrubs that we send out do not do well 
after we have handled them so carefully here at the nursery, it is 
because the planting wasn’t done well or the stock was not cared for 
as it should have been. 
BUCKTHORN 
Rhamnus Cathartica 
A fine hedge plant for Minnesota and states of similar cli- 
mate. A rapid growing, dark leaved plant that makes a truly 
beautiful hedge. Bushes, as they age, develop sharp thorns

The hedge most commonly seen in Minnesota. Plant 1 ft. apart. 
Strong, 2 to 3 ft. plants cut back to 18 inches. 
10 for $8.50; 100 for $75.00, prepaid 
EVONYMUS 
(Burning Bush) 
A native shrub of the Minnesota woods. Beautiful for plant- 
ing about the house. Grows to a height of about 8 feet. Cover- 
ed in fall with beautiful bright red seed pods which with the 
coming of frost burst open and expose rich orange seeds which 
persist on the bush far into the winter and give a brilliant ef- 
fect. The foliage also turns with frost from a deep green to all 
the rich colors of the rainbow. A most desirable shrub.
