Raspberries 
Raspberries should be set in the spring, plants three and a half feet apart in the row 
and rows four feet apart. Set plants three or four inches deep, depending on the soil (in 
heavy clay do not set as deep as in light soil); roots spread out and dirt pressed firmly 
among them Give thorough shallow cultivation until the last of July, or if you prefer, 
mulch in with coarse manure or something of that kind, and keep the ground well 
stirred between the rows. When the new canes are about two feet high, pinch off the 
ton- this will make the plant throw out side branches and do away with the necessity 
nf tvintr up In the spring cut these side branches back to 16 or 18 inches in length. 
Four or five good canes in a hill are enough. Cut out old canes as soon as through 
fruiting and burn them.

KING. Extra large, bright red, high 
quality, hardy Raspberry. Planted very ex¬ 
tensively for market and home use. This 
is one of the standard sorts for the North¬ 
west. 
CUMBERLAND. A mammoth mid-season 
Black Cap that loads its stalk canes with 
handsome fruit. The great glossy berries 
out-sell all others of their season, and are 
firm enough to ship well. Excellent qual¬ 
ity. Many berries are seven-eighths of an 
inch in diameter. Hardiness, productive¬ 
ness, size and quality make it desirable. 
Ripens a few days before the Gregg. 
Golden Queen 
GOLDEN QUEEN. This variety is very 
much like Cuthbert in every way except 
color which is a golden yellow. You should 
plant some of this variety, it has a fine 
flavor. 
KANSAS. This is the earliest of all Black 
Raspberries. A very strong grower and pro¬ 
duces its crops of top quality fruit in a 
very short time. Berries medium size, firm, 
handsome and of the best quality. Kansas 
is perfectly hardy, drought resistant; in 
fact, a good all purpose variety that will 
give both pleasure and profit. 
CARDIN Ala (Red). The most remarkable 
plant of cane growth yet introduced; canes 
not injured by temperature of 26 degrees 
below zero; color dark red, almost purple; 
very productive; berries large and round. 
The best of its kind. 
LATHAM. Although this is a compara¬ 
tively new variety it is entirely past the 
experimental stage, and we unhesitatingly 
recommend Latham as one of the very best 
Red Raspberries ever grown. This variety 
originated at the Minnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm and is being grown exten¬ 
sively in Minnesota, the Dakotas, also in 
Canada, and has never been known to 
winterkill, even though exposed to 45 de¬ 
grees below zero. Latham is a tall, vigor¬ 
ous grower, canes extra heavy, foliage dark 
green, entirely free from disease. Ripens 
with Cuthbert and is enormously produc¬ 
tive. Berries much larger than any other 
Red Raspberry, many of them one inch in 
diameter. Color good, quality of the best, 
full Raspberry flavor. Excellent for ship¬ 
ping or home use. 
ST. REGIS EVERBEARING RASP¬ 
BERRY. An excellent novelty. Raspberries 
for four months! That’s what you get 
when you plant the St. Regis, the new ever- 
bearing variety. Moreover, they are not 
only raspberries, but raspberries of the 
highest grade—in size, in brilliant crim¬ 
son color, in firmness, in flavor. The va¬ 
riety has been aptly termed “the early till 
late" variety; for it is the first red rasp¬ 
berry to give ripe fruit, while it continues 
to produce berries without intermission 
until late October. The St. Regis is of 
pure American blood, and of ironclad hardi¬ 
hood. In addition to the brightest crimson 
color, and large size of the fruit, it is so 
firm and rich in sugar that it will stand 
shipping two hundred miles, arriving at 
market in first class order; and it can 
readily be kept in perfect condition for 
several days after being gathered. Un¬ 
like any other raspberry, the St. Regis 
yields a crop of fruit the season it is 
planted. Plants of it planted in early April 
gave ripe berries on June 20th of the same 
year. For four weeks thereafter the berries 
were large and beautiful, firm and full 
flavored to the very last.
