HARRISONS’ RASPBERRIES 
Quick Profits — 
If you are looking for quick profits and enjoyable work for 
your spare time, by all means put out a patch of Red and Black 
Raspberries. The growing cost is slight and they will succeed 
on most any soil. As far as their eating qualities are concerned, 
they stand supreme, sweet palatable fruit of the very finest 
flavors. Served fresh they make the finest kind of dessert, while 
their canning and preserving qualities are unexcelled. 
Raspberries Are Easy to Grow 
Raspberries will thrive and produce abundantly on any well 
drained soil. Prepare the soil same as you would for your 
garden or farm crops. For field culture Black Raspberries 
should be set 4 feet apart in the row with the rows seven feet 
apart. This requires about 1,500 plants per acre. Red rasp- 
berries should be planted closer, they should be spaced about 
3 feet apart in the row and the rows 7 feet apart. This re- 
quires about 2,000 plants per acre. For garden culture both 
types of raspberries can be planted closer. In planting you 
may plow a furrow or dig the holes 6 inches square and 6 inches 
deep. Place the plant in hole or furrow, spread the roots, then 
fill the hole and press firmly against the roots. With black 
raspberries be careful not to break off the new sprouts. After 
planting cut off the old stalk an inch or two above the ground. 
With Red Raspberries during the following spring while the 
plants are still dormant cut back the canes to a height of 3 
feet and branches to a length of 6 or 8 inches. When the 
fruiting season is over remove all old fruiting canes and burn 
them. This will destroy insects and give the new wood a better 
chance. Confine the growth of the plant to 6 or 7 good strong 
canes to each hill, cutting off all other shoots or suckers as fast 
as they appear. ; 
After the new growth on Black Raspberries reaches a height 
of two feet, pinch off the tip. This will cause them to throw 
out branches and grow upright. The following spring while 
still dormant, trim back the branches to a length of 8 to 10 
inches. When through fruiting cut out and burn old fruiting 
canes. 
Frequent shallow cultivation and hoeing during the spring, 
early summer and even during the fruiting season will aid 
greatly in conserving moisture and increasing the yield. 
List of Selected Heavy Yielding Varieties 
Black Raspberries 
CUMBERLAND. Midseason to late. This is the most popular 
Blackcap at the present time, because of its great size, firm- 
ness, and productiveness. The fruit is the largest of the 
Raspberry family, and is of such handsome appearance that 
it is sure to bring the top prices on the market. i 
Cumberland has never been known to fail to produce a big 
crop every year. This variety is perfectly hardy and tre- 
mendously productive, the bushes are vigorous, upright and 
healthy. Berries are a glossy black in color, not equalled_by 
any other variety in quality, flavor and appearance. It’s 
good to eat and good to sell. 
Plum Farmer. This variety is very popular with many growers 
on account of its earliness of ripening. Plum Farmer has the 
ability to mature its 
customary big yield 
in a,very short time, 
generally 15 to 20 
days. The plants are 
healthy, canes strong 
growing. Berries are 
produced in clusters 
and are large, well 
colored and of first 
quality. The | fruit 
ripens a week earlier 
than Cumberland. 
Red Raspberries 
CUTHBERT. An old 
and reliable variety 
that has proven the 
main money-maker 
for Raspberry grow- 
ers in many sections 
of the country for 
years. The fruit is 
large, well colored, of 
superb flavor and 
quality. We can 
recommend Cuthbert 
as an all-around 
berry either for home 
use, canning, local 
market or shipping. 
The canes are per- 
fectly hardy, foliage 
healthy. Bushes are

large and very productive. Cuthbert sets the standard by 
which other Red Raspberries may be judged. 
LATHAM. Although this is a comparatively new variety it is 
entirely past the experimental stage, and we _ unhesitatingly 
give Latham to Harrisons’ customers as one of the very best 
Raspberries ever grown. This variety originated at the 
Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm and is being grown 
extensively in raspberry producing regions. The sensational 
aN 
Cumberland Raspberries—Leading black variety 
yields of this variety have attracted the attention of growers 
everywhere, and everyone who has given it a trial are prais- 
ing the many unusual features they have found in Latham. 
After thoroughly testing Latham we find it a remarkable 
variety in every respect and you will be both delighted and 
surprised after giving it a trial. 
Latham is a tall, vigorous grower, the canes are extra heavy, 
well able to support the tremendous load of fruit. The foliage 
is a healthy dark green, tough and leathery, highly resistant 
to insects. Latham ripens with Cuthbert and is immensely 
productive. Covers a longer fruiting season than any other 
Raspberry. The berries are beauties and will cause a sensation 
wherever they are shown. Many of them are over an inch 
in diameter and they hold this large size to the end of the 
season. Color a dark rich red, quality of the best with 
full raspberry flavor. 
St. Regis. This variety is by far the best fall bearing type. 
There is a big demand for this fine fruit in the late summer 
and fall, and many growers make exceptionally large profits 
when grown for markets. However, if you do not grow them 
for market by all means plant a few bushes for home use 
and enjoy this delicious fruit all summer and fall. St. Regis 
produces a big crop of fruit during the regular season and 
then continues bearing all summer and fall on the new canes.
