aia Yety Baplory Latham 
There are two BIG reasons why Towns- 
end’s Selected Strain Latham Plants mean 
the surest road to bigger raspberry prof- 
its. The first is, there is no finer looking 
red raspberry on the market. The second, 
is of all the raspberry varieties the 
Latham produces more berries to 
the acre and does so with the least 
amount of care, of any 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 commercial 
plantings and possessing ex- 
treme hardiness as well as splen- 
did shipping qualities, it meas- 
ures 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 proved 
under identical conditions in 
competition with practically all 
leading varieties of raspberries. In every 
instance it has outdistanced the field both 
in yield and net profit per acre. 
Furthermore to clinch its standing as 
the undisputed leader of the field, Town- 
send’s Selected Strain Latham comes to you Mosaic free. 
This disease which so often means lost profit and con- 
stant annoyance becomes a thing of the past when you 
buy our Latham plants.

HIGHEST 
Selected from a 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 the Latham, but is bright red, 
very firm and an unusual heavy yielder. The 
Chief is practically immune from mosaic and 
mildew and is very hardy. With the excellent 
keeping and shipping qualities of the “Chief.” 
The brilliancy of color and flavor appeal, makes 
it stand out as a money making variety for 
the commercial grower and market gardener 
as well as a fine early variety for the back yard 
garden.

plants from the middle of the rows and leaving the PLANT 
best canes in the field for fruiting purposes. Our 
policy is to dig the entire field, thus giving you the SUFFICIENT CHIEF ose 
best, strongest and most vigorous plants.
