Red Raspberries 
California Surprise —This is the earli¬ 
est, the finest flavored, and one of the 
most productive raspberries for south¬ 
ern California. The crop starts ripening 
about May first and lasts until June 
15th. The fruit is medium sized, very 
juicy and rich flavored. As the early 
bird catches the worm, so also, the early 
raspberry brings the high price. Many 
thousands of dollars worth of California 
Surprise are marketed on our local mar¬ 
kets each spring before other varieties 
are ripe. 
Before the Surprise are all gone the 
Cuthberts are starting to ripen. The 
commercial raspberry acreage in south¬ 
ern California is pretty evenly divided 
between these two varieties, which to¬ 
gether make up about 90% of the com¬ 
mercial acreage. If you are located in 
southern California and are going to 
grow red raspberries for the markets we 
recommend that you divide your main 
planting between these two varieties and 
that you try a smaller amount of the 
newer varieties. We especially suggest 
you plant a few Lloyd George. 
Plant all of the varieties of red rasp¬ 
berries two feet apart in the row and 
space the rows six feet apart. 3000 
plants per acre. 
Prices—Prepaid—Each 10c, 10 for 80c, 
25 for $1.50, 50 for $2.50, 100 for $3.50, 
1000 for $25.00. 
Cuthbert. (The fruit of this variety 
is called Cassberry on the L. A. market.) 
For the main, mid-season crop, this va¬ 
riety is grown by the commercial grow¬ 
ers in Southern California in preference 
to all other varieties. With proper care 
it bears an abundant crop. The fruit is 
very large, firm, and of fine flavor, and 
the fruit is borne in very large clusters. 
It is strictly a one crop variety which 
bears heavily through its season (June 
and July) and stops. It is a strong, 
upright grower. We set out a patch of 
Cuthberts last February and by Septem¬ 
ber they were seven feet high. The 
fruit keeps fine, stands handling and 
hauling wonderfully, looks good and sells 
well. Altogether it is our best mid-sea¬ 
son raspberry, both for the commercial 
grower and for home use. Plant 2 feet 
apart in rows 6 feet across; 3000 plants 
per acre. 
Prices—Prepaid—Each 10c, 10 for 80c, 
25 for $1.50, 50 for $2.50, 100 for $3.50, 
1000 for $25.00. 
Latham —A new variety that is becom¬ 
ing very popular in the east. It is 
larger than any of the other raspberries 
we have been growing in the west. It 
is replacing other varieties of raspber¬ 
ries in many sections of the east, and 
may do so here, we have not had it long 
enough to say yet. At any rate it is a 
very large, fine flavored berry, and a 
promising variety that warrants your 
trial. 
Each 10c, 10 for 80c, 25 for $1.50, 50 
for $2.50, 100 for 3.50, 1000 for $25.00. 
Write for quantity price. 
Ranaree or St. Regis —This fine ever- 
bearing raspberry is known in the north 
as Ranaree and in the southern part of 
the state as St. Regis. It is undoubt¬ 
edly the best shipping red raspberry 
grown in the West, many carloads being 
shipped each year from the Palo Alto 
district to as far east as Chicago. Thou¬ 
sands of trays of this berry are shipped 
to the Los Angeles market each year 
from the north. We do not grow enough 
raspberries in Southern California to 
supply the demand. 
We especially recommend this variety 
for Central California. In most parts of 
Southern California we believe that the 
other varieties listed will prove more 
satisfactory. Plant 2 feet apart in rows 
6 feet across; 3000 plants per acre. 
Prices—Prepaid—Each 10c, 10 for 80c, 
25 for $1.50, 50 for $2.50, 100 for $3.50, 
1000 for $25.00. 
A cluster of Lloyd George raspberries. 
This variety produces the largest rasp¬ 
berries we have ever seen, averaging 
nearly as large as Loganberries. We 
have counted many clusters with 80 to 
100 berries to the cluster and a few with 
as many as 125.
