If you are looking for 
quick profits and enjoyable 
work for your spare time, by 
all means put out a patch of 
Red and Black Raspberries— 
fruit that everyone agrees to 
be delicious. The growing 
cost is slight, they are hardy, 
very easily produced, will grow almost anywhere, 
and there are never more than half enough Rasp- 
berries to supply the demand so market prices run 
exceedingly high. Two or three rows across the end 
of your garden, or between the rows in your or' 
chard, will give you more than your family can 
consume—the surplus will net you a nice profit.

Plant Raspberries shallow, in any good growing soil, and 
for distance apart to plant, see page 11. Use shallow culti- 
vation, then early in June mulch heavily with straw. The 
wood which fruited this year should be cut out after the 
last picking and burned. Trim back the ends of the canes 
about one-third early in the spring of each year. 
Latham Raspberries 
Red Raspb 
LATHAM. The greatest Red Raspberry in all the world! 
Big, handsome berries of clear red color, and full of 
rich quality and flavor that simply cannot be equalled— 
hardy anywhere, even in the far north—and the heaviest 
producer of all Raspberries. Is it any wonder there is 
such a demand for Latham, not only for the home but 
for the commercial planting. As a profit'getter, it is head 
and shoulders above all others. The fruit is firm, keeps 
well and ships well. Ferris’ Latham Raspberries are a 
beautiful, thrifty lot, guaranteed to be entirely free of 
mosaic; they have been rigidly inspected three or four 
times by experts who pronounced them supremely 
healthy and mosaic free. Our new, extra-low prices:

ernes 
Select No. 1 plants, 12 for 60c; 25 for 90c; 100 
for $3.00; 500 for $12.00; 1000 for $22.00. (If

NEW CHIEF. An offspring of the famous Latham, 
having many of the fine qualities of its parent, and 
some even to a greater degree. The Chief is ex- 
tremely hardy, a heavy cropper, and of unusual 
health and vigor; the fruit is a trifle smaller than 
that of the Latham, of a bright red color, and of 
superior flavor. It ripens ten days earlier than 
Latham, bridging the gap between Strawberries 
and Raspberries, thus bringing an extra good mar¬ 
ket price. Select, No. 1 plants, 12 for 75c; 25 for 
$1.25; 100 for $3.30; 1000 for $25.00. (If desired 
by parcel post, add 10c for 12, 15c for 25, or 25c 
per 100 for packing and postage). 
Black Raspberries 
There is Nothing in the World So Delicious and 
Wholesome as a Juicy Black Raspberry Pie 
CUMBERLAND. The largest Black Raspberry known, and our 
improved strain is the very best you can get in Blackcaps.. 
The immense berries are firm, and of the finest quality; they 
bring the highest prices of all Black Raspberries on the mar¬ 
ket. Plants are hardy and produce enormous crops. For home 
or market use, the Cumberland cannot be equaled. 
KANSAS. A seedling originated at Lawrence, Kansas. Berries 
very large, jet black, and of high quality. It stands the trying 
climate of Iowa. Early.
