Raspberries are profitable 

 and easily grown, and will 

 undoubtedly fit into your pro- 

 gram nicely. Select a good 

 piece of ground, that is 

 slightly elevated, prepare the 

 soil thoroughly as for other 

 truck crops, do not set in sod 



' land. It is advisable to spread 



i the land with manure before 



1 planting. Soring planting is 



> considered best in most sec- 



I tions. For hill system the us- 



i ual distance to plant is 5 ft. 



I by 5 ft. If the hedge system 



: is desired plant 3 ft. apart 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. Cul- 

 tivate 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, as deeper cultivation may cause serious damage. After the fruiting season remove all 

 fruiting canes, cutting them close to the ground and burning them, this Avill help prevent disease and 

 greatly aid the new growth. Do not allow 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 suffi- 

 cient fertilizer or manure should be used to keep your soil in good fertile condition. 



CUMBERLAND 

 RASPBERRY 



T ATHAIS^ (Red). This new variety has prov- 

 "*******-^ * en 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 unusally 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 early, and Lath- 

 am for mid-season. Growth is hardiest of all var- 

 ieties, very vigorous and productive. Berries a 

 good size, of even better quality than the Latham, 

 a beautiful bright red, and firm enough to stand 

 long shipments. 



CTJMRFRT AND (B'ack). This variety has 

 V^UiVlD£.nL./lINJ^ been the favorite with 

 growers, being more widely planted than any other 

 black raspberry because of its productiveness, 

 and high dessert quality. Berries are very large 

 and firm, ripens in mid-season. Makes a very hardy 

 growth. 



PLUM FARMFR (Black). The largest of 

 r-ljUlvi r/\niVir,n an Wack raspberries. 

 Ripening early and quickly. Is of fine quality and 

 flavor and very attractive. Ideal for both home 

 use and market. 



ST. REGIS 



(Everbearing: Red). 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 Avill continue until hard frosts. Makes 

 a hardy growth which is resistant to virus diseases. 



NF\A7TOnAM (Black). a new early va- 

 I'^IjVV IjV^V^rii^ riety that is very resistant 

 to all virus diseases. It is a very heavy producer 

 of large handsome black berries that hold their 

 size and freshness well throughout the season. 

 Ripens about a w^eek ahead of Cumberland, all 

 berries rii)en in a short period, thus you will have 

 heavy pickings instead of light pickings over a 

 long season. A very hardy grower of long canes, 

 that will probably do best if topped in early spring. 

 (Red). A New Red Raspberry 

 that has shown to be practi- 

 cally immune to mosaic. Originated by the New 

 York Exjjerimental Station at Geneva. Is a cross 

 of Newman and Herbert. The plants are vigor- 

 ous, hardy and very productive, in fact the Aveight 

 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 su- 

 perior to Latham in quality and ripening a few 

 days before Cuthbert. Is a bright red in color. 

 Newburgh is unsurpassed in keeping and shipping 

 qualities. Try them this year.
