Currants, Berries The Linn County Nurseries 
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. 
2-3 ft. plants. 60c each; $5.00 per 10.

seeds.

widely planted. Hardy vigorous and excellent quality. 
“S NEW LOGAN. Earlier than Cumberland, ripening over a 
shorter period, thus requiring fewer pickings. Berries

large firm but juicy berries, on strong vigorous vines.

berry. Bears a full crop about 10 days earlier than most, 
then another full crop in late summer. 
“SEPTEMBER. A new fall bearing red raspberry. Produces 
an early crop with Indian Summer, and a second fine 
crop much earlier than Indian Summer which continues 
until frost.

like the black except larger and fruit is more like the 
é red in flavor, but much larger than either parent
