W. F. ALLEN COMPANY is now offering red raspberries, black 

 raspberries and thornless blackberries because we feel we can offer 

 our customers superior plants grown under the best breeding program. 

 You will notice that we are offering a limited selection and these 

 plants will be grown under the same rigid schedule and will be worthy 

 partners to our strawberry plants. 



CERTIFIELD 

 RASPBERRY PLANTS 



Certified raspberry plants are grown 

 from foundation stock originally in- 

 dexed virus-free and produced in 

 screenhouses. The plants are grown in 

 fumigated fields isolated from culti- 

 vated brambles and are sprayed regu- 

 larly for insect and disease control. The 

 plants are state inspected and certified 

 to be free of insects and diseases. Plants 

 from this source have given thousands 

 of customers many years of profitable 

 and enjoyable production in the home 

 garden. Commercial producers have 

 also accepted this raspberry plant 

 source as the best in the U.S. 



RED RASPBERRIES 



LATHAM is the most widely planted 

 red raspberry. It is noted for its cold 

 hardiness in the northern regions and 

 adaptability to a wide range of con- 

 ditions. The plants are vigorous, pro- 

 duce big crops of large, high quality 

 fruit that is good whether eaten fresh, 

 frozen or canned. LATHAM is a fine 

 mid-season variety for the home garden 

 and has been one of the major varieties 

 in eastern commercial plantings. It 

 should be considered as one of the vari- 

 eties in any northern garden. 



SOUTHLAND is a new variety re- 

 cently released from the North Caro- 

 lina-U.S.D.A. breeding program. It is 

 more tolerant to fluctuating warm and 

 cold periods that have made growing 

 red raspberries very difficult from cen- 

 tral Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, 

 Pennsylvania and Maryland, south. It 

 produces a summer crop before 

 Latham, on last year's canes and an 

 August-September crop, on current sea- 

 son or new canes. The berries are 

 medium sized, bright red, firm and do 

 not crumble. The fruit is delicious as 

 a topping on cereal, with sugar and 

 cream as a dessert or because of its 

 slightly acid flavor as a frozen or can- 

 ned product. The plants are very vigor- 

 ous and can be maintained virus-free 

 for many years without spraying, be- 

 cause the aphid vector that spread 

 raspberry viruses does not like to feed 

 on SOUTHLAND. Because of its tol- 

 erance to varying climatic conditions 

 and its freedom from virus diseases, 

 SOUTHLAND should be the number 

 one choice for any house garden plant- 

 ing in any area, except those near the 

 US-Canadian border. It is also used in 

 Pick-Your Own and some commercial 

 plantings.
