| Now! Substantially Virus-Free Raspberry Plants 
Asa result of research by the United States Department 
of Agriculture and the University of Maryland a program 
for production of substantially virus-free raspberry plants 
has been developed. Last year we were the first nursery to 
offer this stock to the public and this year an increased 
supply is available. These plants have been propagated 
from virus-free foundation stock and maintained sub- 
stantially virus-free by a special program of isolation, 
spraying, and inspection. To obtain the full benefit of this 
virus-free vigor these plants should be separated from 
other brambles by at least 200 ft. and a recommended 
program for control of aphids should be followed. 
Because of the many extra procedures necessary to pro- 
duce this special stock, their cost is more than for regular 
certified plants but we believe that the resulting increase 
in vigor, production, and quality will far outweigh the 
difference in price. 
(VIRUS-FREE RED RASPBERRIES 
LATHAM is the most widely grown red raspberry since it is a very dependable producer in such 
‘cold climates as Minnesota and North Dakota as well as the southern raspberry area. This variety yields 
big crops of large, firm berries with a delicious flavor. It ripens very late and thus provides berries long 
after the regular season. Latham has long been a standard commercial and home variety. 
“a INEWBURGH is an excellent early-midseason red raspberry that is excellent for commercial pro- 
duction because it produces fine crops of very large, very firm attractive berries of good quality. It has 
~ \igorous, hardy plants of medium height and is less subject to mosaic infection than most red varieties. 
It is important to cut back the canes at spring pruning in order to allow proper fruit development. 
TAYLOR is a late red raspberry that produces big crops of the most beautiful raspberries you have 
/’ever seen. Its berries are very large and long in shape and are especially attractive. They are firm in 
_ ‘texture and have fine quality. The plants are so sturdy that they usually do not need support.
