dependable quality, and will welcome the New Chief. 
It has proven a heavy cropper, perfectly hardy 
disease-resistant, a good shipper, and from 10 to 
12 days earlier than the Latham. These facts, to- 
gether with it’s delicious flavor makes is a valuable 
variety for the home garden as well as commercial 
grower. It comes in right after the Strawberries, 
keeping the table supplied with fresh fruit until the 
later varieties are in bearing. The market always 
commands a high price on the Early Red Raspberries, 
which makes it a profitable variety for the commercial 
grower.
