For best results raspberries should be planted * 

 in the early spring in good fertile soil that retains 

 moisture but is not poorly drained. In small 

 plantings the rows are usually 6 feet apart with 

 3 to 4 feet between plants. Plants set this spring 

 will produce a crop about 15 months after plant- 

 ing. After the first fruiting season, the old fruit- 

 ing canes of regular red and black raspberries are 

 pruned out, leaving the new canes to bear fruit 



CERTIFIED 



These certified plants are state inspected for 

 freedom of insects and diseases. They have given 

 thousands of customers many years of profitable 

 production in both the home garden and com- 



New!! SENTRY 



For the first time in many years we are pleased to introduce a new red raspberry variety. Originating 

 in College Park, Md., by Dr. I. C. Haut, Sentry has firm, medium-red berries that ripen early-midseason. 

 This high quality berry ships very well. Order your plants early. You will be more than pleased. 



LATHAAAis the standard red raspberry for most of the eastern states. Its plants are hardy, pro- 

 ducing big crops of large, high-quality fruit, fine for fresh use, freezing, or preserves. Latham is fine for 

 home gardens and excellent for commercial plantings, for its berries hold up well for shipment. It is 

 hardy in our coldest climates and very late in ripening. 



SEPTEMBER everbearing red raspberry is from the New York Experiment Station. 

 It is truly an outstanding variet}^, producing a wonderful crop of high-quality, early berries during the 

 regular summer season and other fine crop that begins to ripen early in the fall. September is a real 

 winner for home use where its firm berries, which are free from crumbling, are especially nice for freezing. 



virus-free 



As a result of research by the USDA it was found that raspberry plants were infected by viruses, some 

 of which are hard to detect. Test results ajso indicated that YIELDS CAN BE DOUBLED BY PLANT- 

 ING VIRUS-FREE PLANTS. In keeping with the pohcy to offer the best plants available, Rayner 

 Bros, was the first nursery to offer virus-free plants to the public. These plants have been propagated from i 



NEW ! ! REVEILLE is another new red raspberry by Dr. I. C. Haut. It has large size, excellent flesh 

 quality and outstanding flavor. It is not firm enough for shipping but we feel it will become the leading 

 variety for home use and roadside sales because of its good flavor and appearance. It is certainly a deli- 

 cious high quality berry. i 



LATHAAAis the most widely grown red raspberry since it is a very dependable producer in such 

 cold climates as Minnesota and North Dakota as well as the southern raspberry area. This variety yields 

 big crops of large, firm berries with a delicious flavor. It ripens very late and thus provides berries long . 

 after the regular season, Latham has long been a standard commercial and home variety. |

 duction because it produces fine crops of very large, very firm attractive berries of good quality. It has j 

 vigorous, hardy plants of medium height and is less subject to mosaic infection than most red varieties. |
