Sawyer, Michigan. 
Latham 
Recently originated i n 
Minnesota where the severe 
winters are a test, but it does 
not winter-kill even at 45 degrees below zero. 
This is the largest, most beautiful and profitable 
red Raspberry grown. Rich, dark red berries an 
inch in diameter are quite common. They stick 
to the stem days after they are ripe when other 
varieties would soften and fall to the ground. 
The fruit is firm, making it good for canning a 
shipping, as well as for table use. The Connect 
icut Agricultural College Review had this to s 
about this berry: 
“Latham produced on a three-year field, 
5,439 quarts per acre, 2,000 quarts more 
than its nearest competitor. The fruit ripens 
about a week later than Chief and covers a 
longer fruiting season than any red Rasp¬ 
berry known.” 
The demand for Latham always exceeds 
the supply. Order early. For prepaid and F. O. B. 
prices, see page 31.

Returns 
We have a limited amount of 
two-year Latham and Chief 
transplants that come into bear¬ 
ing the first season, that would 
much more than pay for the ex¬ 
tra cost. A bargain while they 
last. For prices, see page 31. 
Chief. 
Chief 
Outyields Even the Heavy- 
Bearing Latham by 20%. 
Chief is an offspring of La¬ 
tham but ripens a week to ten days earlier than 
its parent. It was introduced by the Minnesota 
State Breeding Farm. The berries are large and 
firm, do not crumble, are beautiful red and of 
finest quality. The bushes are hardy and disease 
resistant with heavy, dark green foliage. 
Chief and Latham are two of the most prof¬ 
it a b 1 e red Raspberries. Highest 
price for early red Raspberries, 
that’s Chief. Latham to prolong your 
picking season by three weeks. 
While we have a 
good supply, me¬ 
chanically dug, extra 
heavy rooted plants, 
the demand for these 
varieties is enormous. 
Play safe, order 
early, and receive the 
benefit of our sharp¬ 
ly reduced prices.
