Kayner's dependable raspberry plants are all strong and vigorous, have been twice in- 

 spected and are disease free and healthy; the kind of plants that, given ordinary care, will 

 produce big profitable crops of fancy, delicious fruit that will return top prices. Raspberries, 

 are easily grown, and with Rayner's plants, big returns are the rule. Plant a field this year, 

 and assure yourself of an increased income for many years. 



Select a good piece of 

 ground, that is slightly ele- 

 vated, prepare the soil thor- 

 oughly. It is advisable to 

 spread the land with manure 

 before planting. Spring plant- 

 ing is considered best in most 

 sections. For hill system the 

 usual distance to plant is 5 

 ft. by 5 ft. If the hedge sys- 

 tem is desired plant 3 ft. a- 

 part in rows which are 5 to 

 7 feet distant. Before planting 

 the tops should be cut back 

 to 6 inches or less, the plants 

 should be set slightly deeper 

 than they formerly grew. 

 Cultivate frequently enough 

 to retain moisture and kill 

 weeds, but be sure not to cul- 

 tivate over 2 to 3 inches deep 

 next to the plants. After the 

 fruiting season remove all 

 fruiting canes, cutting them 

 close to the ground and burn- 

 ing them, this will help pre- 

 vent disease and greatly aid 

 the new growth. Do not al- 

 low over 8 to 10 canes to grow 

 to the plant, remove all weak 

 canes and suckers, so as to 

 throw all the strength into 

 the young bearing canes. 

 Topping canes in the early 

 spring will strengthen the 

 canes and aid in picking. 

 Raspberries respond readily 

 to fertile soil, and sufficient 

 fertilizer or manure should 

 be used to keep your soil in 

 good fertile condition. 



RED RASPBERRIES 



T ATHATVr (Red). This variety has proven its 

 ^■** * ■*^**"*-''-*- merits as being the leader of all 

 red raspberries. It is a very heavy producer of 

 large uniform berries, a very attractive red in 

 color being unusually firm, with very good ship- 

 ping qualities. Its proven ability for heavy pro- 

 duction of high quality fruit has placed it as the 

 most profitable red raspberry. 



/^IJTpp (Red). This new early variety is a 

 ^^■^^*"* strong rival to Latham, having out- 

 produced them in a few tests, it ripens about 10 

 days earlier. You will have a heavy producing 

 berry patch by planting Chief for an early, and 

 Latham for mid-season. Growth is hardiest of all 

 varieties, very vigorous and i^roductive. Berries a 

 good size, of even better quality than the Latham, 

 a beautiful bright red, and firm enough to stand 

 long shipments.

ST. REGIS 



NEWBURG 



(Everbearing Bed.) The most 

 profitable of the everbearers. 

 Fruit is bright red, of good size and quality. Fruit- 

 ing season is very long, fruiting on the old canes 

 until late August, then the young ones will begin 

 bearing, and will continue until hard frosts. Makes 

 a hardy growth which is resistant to virus diseases. 



(Red). A New Red Raspberry 

 that has shown to be practi- 

 cally immune to mosaic. Originated by the New 

 York Experimental Station at Geneva. Is a cross 

 of Newman and Herbert. The plants are vigor- 

 ous. hardy and very productive, in fact the weight 

 of the fruit is so great the canes are often bent to 

 the ground, making supports necessary. The fruit 

 is very large, firm and does not crumble, is super- 

 ior to Latham in quality and ripening a few days 

 before Cuthbert. Is a bright red in color. New- 

 burgh is unsurpassed in keeping and shipping 

 qualities. Try them this year.
