Selected 10 years ago from the planting of 4000 Latham Seedlings, the 

 Minnesota State Breeding Farm has given to the berry growers of America 

 the famous Latham's only rival, "Chief." 



Chief has turned out to be by far the finest early Red for general planting. 



The fruit is not quite as large as Latham, but is bright red, very firm and 

 an unusually heavy yielder. (Two-year plantings have produced nearly 200 

 crates per acre; three-year plantings 294 crates per acre). 



The Chief is practically immune 

 from mosaic and mildew and is much 

 hardier. Because of the unusual abun- 

 dance of tough leathery foliage, and 

 the strong fibrous roots developed on 

 the Townsend Nurseries, Chief is not 

 so subject to drought as other varie- 

 ties. 



With the excellent keeping and 

 shipping qualities of the "Chief" . . . 

 the brilliancy of color and appetite ap- 

 peal, coupled with its fine flavor and 

 heavy yielding qualities and the added 

 proft of 75c to $1.00 per crate over 

 all others makes Chief an outstanding 

 money maker in the raspberry field.

What Other Prominent Men Say 

 About the New Chief 



"CHIEF" OUTYIELDS OTHER REDS 

 IN OHIO 



J. S. Shoemaker, Associate Horti- 

 culturist, Ohio Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station, says, " 'Chief is a 

 heavy cropper. The plants bore 

 quite a few berries the year they 

 were set and this year outyielded all 

 other red raspberry varieties in our 

 variety test plantation." 



Ray Speer, Former President Min- 

 nesota State Horticultural Society, 

 says, " 'Chief is certain to achieve 

 as wide a reputation as its parent, 

 Latham. Since Latham fruits later 

 than 'Chief,' the latter really is a 

 supplement to Latham, and in no 

 sense a competitor of it. In com- 

 parison with King, which fruits the 

 same time as 'Chief/ the fruits of 

 'Chief are slightly larger, somewhat 

 earlier, of better quality, and of 

 more uniform shape. It is a firmer 

 berry, ships very well, and is less 

 crumbly than King. Experts every- 

 where predict a wonderful future 

 for 'Chief.' "
