SMALL FRUIT 
Currants 
~ Red Lake—Has now become the nation’s stand- 
ard. Large berries on a strong bush, a very reli- 
able bearer. Should be more widely grown; 2- 
year plants, each 60 cents; 4 for $2.00. 
Gooseberries 
. Pixwell—The introduction of this variety by 
Prof. Yeager of North Dakota did a great deal 
tc encourage the growing of gooseberries. Be- 
cause of the long stems on the berries they are 
easier 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. Gust 
Visser of Ada says it is a tremendous yielder. 
Two-year plants, 60 cents each, four for $2.00. 
Grapes 
3eta—Entirely hardy, useful for jam, jelly and 
juice. Good also as a vine for a trellis or porch, 
Each 60 cents. 
~Blue Jay—Larger and much better quality than 
the Beta. Each, 75 cents. 
~ Fredonia—This grape usually needs winter cov- 
ering, but because of its large size and early 
ripening is well worth growing. Has done well 
at Morden, Manitoba. Each 60c. 
Apples 
While apple growing is not a “sure thing” in the 
north, a few trees don’t cost much, and the pleas- 
ure one gets from picking ripe apples will repay 
many times the cost of the trees. Fruit trees in 
this area should be grown in bush form and be 
planted in a protected place. 
‘ia ae ee largest apple, poe 3-4 ft., each 
1,00 
* Melba—A good eating apple from Canada, 
3-4 ft., each $1.00.
