TOWNSEND'S Select Strain Latham 

 plants mean REAL PROFITS for you, 

 and there are two very good re& 

 for this fact. First, it is the finest look- 

 ing berry on the market; second, Latham 

 produces more berries to the acre than 

 any other variety, and does so with the 

 least amount of care of any of 

 the other raspberries we have 

 ever known. 



Latham is without question 

 the KING of all raspberries. 

 Large, luscious fruit, rich red 

 coloring — it sells itself on sight; 

 its appetizing appearance and 

 delicious flavor meet with instant 

 approval on every table. Produc- 

 ing more than $1,000 per acre In 

 commercial plantings as well as 

 possessing extreme hardiness. 

 The fruit is very firm (making it a 

 splendid shipper), Latham more 

 than measures up to the require- 

 ments of the most exacting 

 grower. Whether you raise 

 Latham to sell or to serve, you 

 are certain to meet with satisfy- 

 ing success. 



Latham has been carefully 

 and thoroughly tested under all 

 known growing conditions and has 

 come out on top of all other leading 

 varieties grown under identical condi- 

 tions. In every case, it has outdistanced 

 the field both in yield and net profit 

 per acre. 

 To further prove its leadership. 

 Townsend's Selected Strain Latham comes to you 

 free from Mosaic. This disease need no longer prove 

 a burden to you, both from the standpoint of an- 

 noyance and lost profits. 

 • TMDODTKMTI MOTEM O ur Latham ARE the Redpath Strain. 

 livirun 1 AIM 1 ! INUlrii officially Latham and Redpath are consid- 

 ered one and the same variety. Notwithstanding 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, planters are doubly assured of getting dependable stock when they order 

 our Latham — (Redpath Strain). 



Absolutely Hardy — Easy to Grow 



CHIEF, the only rival of the 

 famous Latham, was selected 

 from a planting of 4,000 Latham 

 Seedlings by the Minnesota State Breeding 

 Farm. 



It has turned out to be the finest early 

 Red for general planting, surpassing other like 

 varieties by far. The fruit, while not quite as 

 large as Latham is extremely hardy, very 

 firm, bright red in color, practically immune 

 from mosiac and mildew, keeps and ships 

 well, and is an unusually heavy producer. Its 

 brilliant coloring and appealing flavor, to- 

 gether with its early ripening, makes Chief a 

 good money-making variety for the commer- 

 cial grower, and a fine early variety for the 

 home gardener as well. 



Townsend's Raspberry Plantings Are 

 Grown for Plants Only 



Contrary to the common policy of digging small plants 

 from the middle of the rows, leaving the best canes in 

 the field for fruiting purposes, we dig the entire field- 

 thus giving you the best, strongest and most vigorous 

 plants. We offer only one grade of Raspberry plants 

 which is our select number one plants. Under grade 

 size our number two stock is dear at any price.
