CURRANTS 
We grow only the Red Lake which is an extra large variety developed by 
the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. It has almost displaced all the old 
varieties. Currants require little space or attention other than the application 
of an insecticide to control the currant worm in early spring. These are heavy 
2-3 ft. plants. 75¢ ea; $6.50 per 10. 
GOOSEBERRIES 
Gooseberries need an insecticide applied soon after the fruit forms to pre- 
vent defoliation by the currant worm.

best. Bears heavy crops of very large berries. 
BLUEBERRIES 
You should be able to grow your own blueberries if you have a spot where 
there is plenty of moisture but well drained, light sandy or gravel soil. Peat 
should also be worked into the soil generously and a hand full of alum or sul- 
phur applied in a circle a few inches from the plant. Two or more varieties 
should be planted as they are not self-pollinating. Plant 3 to 4 ft. apart.
