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 quality excellent. The bush is vigorous, 
upright, and productive. Ripens early mid- 
season, but holds on over a long period so it 
can be used or marketed as desired. 2 yr. 
plants, 60c; 3 for $1.50. 
GRAPES 
“RED AMBER— 
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 quality. Perfectly 
hardy and need not be covered. 
“BLUE JAY— 
This grape has very compact, large clusters 
of berries, about ‘the same size as Concord. 
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 or jelly. This needs to 
be planted near some other variety that will 
furnish pollen. 
\ MOONBEAM— 
This “white” Grape with a mild and sweet 
flavor is borne in medium sized clusters, but 
the berries are large. It is an _ excellent 
ornamental variety because the clean, at- 
tractive leaves are dark green above and silvery 
beneath. Prices of Blue Jay, Red Amber 
and Moonbeam Grapes, 2 yr., 70c; 3 for 
$1.85. 
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 with- 
stands 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. 
-. 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 Concord. Fruit is 
large, sweet and of good quality. Price of 
Beta and Fredonia grapes, 2 yr., 50c; 6 for 
$2.50.

ASPARAGUS 
than 
thing else you can grow in the same space— 
you can cut it every day from late April to the 
Asparagus produces more food any- 
20th of June. It is very easy to prepare for 
eating and nearly everyone is very fond of it. 
And frozen asparagus is as good as the fresh. 
We have learned to grow asparagus plants that 
are much superior to any we have seen from 
other nurseries. This year we have a good 
supply of three year old plants. Plant the 
roots in deep rich soil, the crowns about 
four inches below the surface. Use plenty 
of manure and keep out the quack grass and a 
patch will last many years. 
Plant 12 roots for each member of the 
family.

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 becoming 
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 100 lb. bales at $3.00, or in any smaller 
quantity. 
CUTTING’S NURSERY is eight miles west of Rochester, on Highway 14.
