Chief—The latest and best addition 
to Red Raspberry varieties. Might well 
be called Early Latham. It has all of 
Latham’s good qualities plus the dis¬ 
tinct advantage of ripening ten days 
earlier, yielding heavier and of much 
better flavor and shipping qualities.

Cumberland (Black) (Midseason) — 
The most widely planted black rasp¬ 
berry because of its productiveness and 
quality. Berries are extra large, fine 
and sweet. 
Cutlibert (Red) (Late)—The best red 
because of its superior quality and 
flavor. Berries are large, rich crimson, 
firm and one of the best for canning. 
Latham—Rich brilliant red, large and 
firm berry. Perfectly hardy', very heavy 
producer and most resistant to Mosaic. 
Originated in Minnesota. 
St. Regis (Red) (Everbearing) — 
Bright red, small to large berries. 
Canes are hardy, prolific, healthy, 
drouth-resistant. Bears very early; 
after old canes have borne the young 
canes begin bearing and produce until 
frost. Very thorough cultivation is nec¬ 
essary, otherwise berries of first crop 
will be small and no second crop may 
form. Succeeds further south than other 
vari eties. 
HINTS ON SUCCESSFUL 
GROWING 
May be planted in the fall where win¬ 
ters are mild, but should be mulched 
with straw or coarse manure for winter 
protection. Usually spring is the best 
time, especially with black or purple 
varieties. 
Space plants 4 feet apart, in rows 6 
feet apart, red varieties closer than 
blacks. Set an inch or two deeper than 
they' stood in the nursery, in good rich 
soil; ground bone is a good fertilizer. 
Keep well cultivated and free from 
weeds and suckers. Pinch back the 
young canes of black raspberries when 
18 to 24 inches tall. This causes side 
branches to grow on the canes and 
makes the bushes more sto.cky and self- 
supporting. The next spring cut the 
side branches back a third to a half. 
Red raspberries require no pruning 
except where the canes are very tall 
they may be cut back to 5 or 6 feet in 
height. Leave not more than 4 or 5 
canes per plant, except possibly with 
very vigorous growers. Remove and 
burn old canes when the crop has been 
picked. 
The dewberry trails on the ground 
and the tops are usually tied to stakes 
or wires in the spring. In cold climate 
a mulch of straw or earth is necessary 
in the winter. 
Grow Your Own Gooseberries and Currants 
GOOSEBERRIES AND CURRANTS are used chiefly in making jams, jellies, pies, preserves, tarts, etc. They con¬ 
tain a large amount of pectin, which is necessary for jelly making. Gooseberries are grown slightly farther south than 
Currants, suffering less from hot, dry weather. Bear second or third year.

“Thanks for the fine trees sent me last year. All started 
very well and I believe I will have a 100% stand. I am glad

were the finest I have ever had from any nursery and I have 
purchased well over 2,000.”—W. L. Rosin, Ohio.

every way and fine trees.”—Ira Olmstead, Nebraska.
