This is the dependable certified stock which has been 

 state inspected for freedom from insects and diseases and 

 which has been proven dependable by many years of 

 profitable production by thousands of commercial growers 

 and home gardeners. 



BLACK RASPBERRIES 



LOGAN is a fine early black raspberry, ripening about a 

 week before Cumberland and producing fine crops of beau- 

 tiful, high quality berries. Very hardy and vigorous. 

 BRISTOL is a fine midseason black raspberry with large, 

 round, firm berries of very good quality. It is very vigor- 

 ous, winter hardy, and produces big crops. 

 CUMBERLAND ripens in midseason and gives big yields 

 of beautiful black raspberries of unsurpassed flavor and 

 quality. Its plants are vigorous, hardy and adapted to 

 various soils. 



RED RASPBERRIES 



LATHA/Vl is 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 variety, 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.

GROWING RASPBERRIES 



Raspberries give best results in areas where the 

 summers are not usually hot or dry. Therefore 

 they are not generally grown south of Tennessee 

 and Missouri. A good, fertile soil that retains 

 moisture but is still not poorly drained gives best 

 results. Raspberries should be planted in early 

 spring for best results. If possible a high amount 

 of well rotted manure should be mixed into the 

 soil before planting. Also a regular spring appli- 

 cation of about 450 pounds per acre of 10-10-10 

 fertilizer is important. This is equivalent to 

 about 6 ounces per plant. In small plantings the 

 rows are usually 6 feet apart with 4 feet between 



plants. Raspberries are generally planted in 

 early spring and will produce a crop about 15 

 months after planting. The canes aTe tied to 

 wires or to posts, depending upon the planting 

 system. After the first fruiting season the fruit- 

 ing canes of regular red and black raspberries are 

 pruned out — leaving the new canes which will 

 bear fruit the next season. In the case of ever- 

 bearing raspberries the canes which produced the 

 fall crop should not be pruned out but only 

 slightly cut back in the spring. For best results 

 with raspberries a recommended spray program 

 for control of diseases and insects is necessary.
