5430 QUARTS PER ACRE 



LATHAM WINS IN OFFICIAL TEST _ 



OVER OLD FAVORITES 



Here are the facts reported by the Connecticut 

 Agricultural College, under supervision of W. H. Dar- 

 row, Fruit Specialist. In comparative tests the lead- 

 ing varieties of Raspberries were planted in the same 

 soil, under identical conditions, all receiving the same 

 care and attention, with the following results: 

 The LATHAM .. .5430 Quarts per Acre 

 The HERBERT . .3648 Quarts per Acre 

 The CUTHBERT .3600 Quarts per Acre 

 These were the three leaders. The Latham pro- 

 duced 1782 quarts more per acre than the best of 

 the others. In dollars and cents, figuring at 30 cents 

 per quart, Latham yielded at the rate of $1,629 per 

 acre! Proof conclusive that the LATHAM rules 

 supreme in the Red Raspberry field. 



From E. O. Schoembs, Villa Ridge, Illinois — "My 



one-year patch of Latham planted in checks six by 

 six produced 72 twenty-four pine crates per five hun- 

 dred hills. My average price per crate through the 

 entire season was $6.00. These plants were Mosaic 

 free when I received them and passed State Inspec- 

 tion for two years." This is $432.00 from 500 plants 

 the first season. 



5300 Quarts Latham Raspberries Off An 



Acre 1 Year After Setting 



GENTLEMEN:- Martinsburg, W. Va. 



This year has been an exceptionally fine year for 

 us with the Latham Raspberries purchased from you, 

 with an average of 3300 quarts to the acre. The ber- 

 ries were of fine quality and appearance. It has been 

 a real pleasure in growing this field of raspberries, 

 as the stock, you sent us was well graded with strong 

 root system. N. SMAILES. 



There are two BIG reasons why the LATHAM Rasp- 

 berry (Redpath Strain) means the surest, quickest 

 road to bigger profits. The first is, there is no finer 

 looking red raspberry on the market. The second 

 is, of all raspberries the LATHAM produces more 

 berries to the acre and does so with the least amount 

 of care, of any other variety we have ever known. 



Without question, and from any viewpoint, it is 

 the King of them all. Big, luscious, an irresistible, 

 appetizing red, it meets with instant favor on the 

 table. Producing more than $1,000 per acre in com- 

 mercial plantings and possessing extreme hardiness 

 as well as splendid shipping qualities, it measures 

 up to the wise grower's every requirement. Whether 

 you raise the LATHAM to sell or to serve, you are 

 certain to meet with satisfying success. 



THE LATHAM has been put to every known test. 

 It has been grown under identical conditions in com- 

 petition with practically all leading varieties of 

 raspberries. In every instance, it has out dis- 

 tanced the field. It has even produced a prof- 

 itable yield the first summer after planting. 



Further more, to clinch its standing as the 

 undisputed leader of the field, our LATHAM 

 (Redpath Strain) come to you "Mosaic 

 free." This disease, which so often means 

 lost profits and constant annoyance, be- 

 comes a thing of the past when you 

 buy our sturdy LATHAM PLANTS. 



Townsend's Plants Have a Nation-Wide Reputation 



Our soils and climate are ideal for growing a strong vigor- 

 ous well rooted plant, and no effort has been spared to produce 

 these plants. They are inspected several times each year by 

 the State Nursery Inspectors, and have been pronounced Mosaic 

 Free, and in excellent condition. Contrary to the common 

 policy of digging small plants from the middle of the rows and 

 leaving the best canes for fruiting, as practiced by some grow- 

 ers, our policy is to dig the entire field, thus giving you the 

 best, strongest and most vigorous plants. Our special designed 

 machine used in digging these plants makes possible the heavy, 

 fiberous root system of our Red Raspberries, which is necessary 

 to promote vigorous fruiting canes. 



OUR LATHAM ARE THE RED PATH STRAIN 



Officially, LATHAM, and REDPATH are considered one and 

 the same variety. Not withstanding this conclusion many well 

 informed practical fruit growers are still of the opinion that 

 the REDPATH is a superior strain of the LATHAM. Our 

 LATHAM are the REDPATH STRAIN, hence customers are 

 doubly assured of getting dependable stock when they order 

 our LATHAM.
