RED RASPBERRIES 



SEPTEMBER 



NEW RED EVERBEARING 



The September raspberry variety was 

 developed by the New York State Experi- 

 ment Station and is an outstanding con- 

 tribution to the berry industry. It is an 

 everbearing type of red raspberry that 

 produces a large crop in June and yet 

 another flue crop in September. This fall 

 crop is considerably earlier than that of 

 other everbearing raspberries so Septem- 

 ber is especially desirable. The berries 

 are unusually large and have a delicious 

 flavor. You will surely want some of this 

 wonderful variety in your garden.

DELICIOUS 

 FLAVOR 



L AT HA 



MOST WIDELY 

 GROWN RED 



Latham is the standard red raspberry for most of the eastern United States. Its plants are 

 strong and hardy and produce bumper crops of large, firm, delicious fruit. It grows well in 

 many soil types and has high resistance to diseases. Berries are of very high quality — good 

 for fresh market, for freezing, or preserving. Latham is an excellent commercial variety be- 

 cause it produces big crops of berries that can be carried long distances to market. If you want 

 red Raspberries you want Latham. See next page for prices. 



EXTRA LARGE 

 RED RASPBERRY 



TAYLOR 



FINE FLAVOR, GOOD 

 PRODUCTION, HARDY 



Taylor is an excellent early red raspberry, ripening a few days before Latham. Its berries 

 are very large and have an elongate shape. The berries have a fine color, good texture, and 

 excellent flavor. For freezing Taylor is outstanding. Plants are tall, vigorous, and productive 

 and usually so sturdy that they can be grown without support if properly pruned. In New 

 York and other northern states Taylor shows good winter hardiness and has such superior 

 fruit that it is one of the best of all raspberries. 



GROWING RASPBERRIES 



Raspberries give best results in areas 

 where the summers are not unusually 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. Rasp- 

 berries 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 

 application of about 4r)0 pounds per acre of 

 10-10-10 fertilizer is important. This is equi- 

 valent 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 plant- 

 ing. The canes are tied to wires or to posts, 

 depending upon the planting system. After 

 the first fruiting season the fruiting 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 produc- 

 ed 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.
