2 Great New Pie Cherries 
Northstar and Meteor—A Perfect Pair 
Ripening about 2 weeks apart, you will have tree fresh cherries over a 
very long season. Plant some of each this spring—you'll have the best pie 
cherries that can be grown. 
“METEOR CHERRY— 
~\ 
\ 
—~\ 
p) 
Minnesota's new pie cherry, introduced 
by the University of Minnesota Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm. Tree is a strong vigorous upright 
grower, unusually large leaves which are 
resistant to leaf spot. The fruit is large to 
very large. Color clear light red, skin thin. 
the flavor is very good. Stone small and 
ree. 
NORTHSTAR CHERRY— 
A cross between Serbian pie cherry and 
the regular English Morello which makes 
for one of the hardiest cherries, as well as 
a relatively small tree. Fruit is dark red at 
maturity, skin is medium tender, flesh is 
juicy, tender and meaty. The stone is 
small and free. 
Prices of Northstar and Meteor Cherries— 
3-4 ft., $2.65 each; one of each variety $5.00. 
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 bear- 
er. Fruit on long stems and bushes sparse 
in thorns, hence they are easy to pick.

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. Ber- 
ries 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, 
50c; 3 for $1.30. 
RHUBARB 
Rhubarb is the cheapest pie and sauce 
material you can grow, and is also useful 
for jam, marmalade and juice. 
If planted in a fertile soil you can cut 
large stalks the first summer. Prices, 50c 
each; or two of each variety for $1.80. 
CHAPMAN’S CANADA RED— 
Very sweet, tender, of fine flavor, with 
extra-large stalks, bright red all the way 
through, the red color extending even to the 
mid-rib of the leaf. Does not lose its bright 
color in cooking, and both sauce and pies 
are an appetizing cherry-red color. 
RUBY RED— 
Another new Red Rhubarb introduced 
from Canada. The stalks are intensely red 
as the name implies—even the inside of the 
stalk is red. Rhubarb sauce made from 
Ruby is as red as strawberry sauce. The 
skin is so tender it can be cooked with the 
stalk.
