Chief Red Raspberry 
The Hardy Disease-Resistant Early Raspberry 
The Chief Raspberry has been grown in test grounds all over 
the country, and the following facts have been proven: 
HARDINESS —Chief originated in Northern Minnesota. It is 
perfectly hardy and is recommended by the Minnesota Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture. 
DISEASE RESISTANT —Being an offspring of the famous 
Latham it has all the disease resistant qualities of its parent. 
PRODUCTIVENESS —Its extreme hardiness and resistance to 
disease makes it a very robust grower and a heavy bearer. In 
many tests it has outyielded Latham. 
EARLINESS —Chief ripens 10 to 12 days ahead of Latham, 
^placing it on the market with the benefit of early high prices. 
QUALITY —The exceptionally fine flavor places 
• Chief in great demand not only as a table berry, but 
I also as a canner. The fruit is dark red, of good size 
f and an excellent shipper.

f Latham Raspberry 
A Big Money Maker 
The Latham is conceded to be the best late red raspberry. It 
has more points of merit and has come into general planting 
more rapidly than any other raspberry ever introduced. It is 
vigorous in growth ; withstands the winters in Canada without 
covering; and exceptionally free from mosaic and other diseases. 
The large berries, some running over an inch in diameter, and 
the deep red color make it most attractive, and it is the most 
productive variety grown. Growers are beginning to realize that 
no other late red raspberry will make them so much money, so 
surely and quickly as the Latham. One nine acre field of Latham 
in Minnesota produced an average of $1,000.00 per acre each 
year for five years, and similar reports are coming from all sec¬ 
tions of the country. 
PRICES: 6 for 45c; 12 for 75c; 25 for $1.25; 50 for $2.00;

Early King 
St. Regis Everbearing 
The earliest red raspberry; has long been the favorite through¬ 
out the Northern and Central States. 6 for 45c; 12 for 70c; 25

Columbian Purple Raspberry 
This is one of the finest berries ever offered. It is a cross be¬ 
tween a black raspberry and red raspberry, and possesses all the 
qualities of each. The berries are of large size; purple in color; 
seeds small and deeply imbedded in a rich, juicy pulp. They do 
not crumble when picked, are good shippers and good keepers, 
and are better for canning than either red or black raspberries. 
To people who dislike growing the red varieties, on account of 
the “suckers,” we recommend Columbian Purple, as it does not 
sucker or spread from the roots, but is propagated from “tips,” 
the same as black raspberries. 
The canes are model growers: vigorous and healthy. Will 
grow anywhere; as hardy as an oak; enormously productive; and 
either fresh or canned, is the finest flavored raspberry we ever 
tasted. 
Choice Plants: 6 for 50c: 12 for 90c; 25 for $1.60; 50 for 
$2.90; 100 for $5.25, by parcel post, postpaid.

per 300 ; $13.20 per 400; $16.00 per 500 ; or $30.00 per 1,000. 
ADCO artificial manure 
, Don’t waste your lawn cuttings and garden rubbish. Turn 
them into manure with Adco. Adco is a powder which, when 
mixed with vegetable waste and kept moist, converts the whole 
mass into a clean, odorless manure in 3 or 4 months. It is fully 
equal to the barnyard product in fertilizing power, but free from 
foul odor, flies, weed seeds, etc. You can easily convert your 
straw, corn stalks, weeds, leaves, lawn cuttings, etc., into manure, 
at very little expense. One pound of Adco is enough for four 
cubic feet of refuse; 50 lbs. of Adco makes a ton of manure. 
PRICES: 25 lbs., by express, not prepaid, $2.00. By freight, 
not prepaid, 100 lbs., $7.50; 150 lbs., $10.50. 
Fruit commences to ripen with the early varieties of red rasp¬ 
berries and continues to produce fruit during the summer and 
fall, and until the berries freeze in the fall or early winter. As 
to quality of fruit, St. Regis has no superior. Berries bright 
crimson, large size, rich, sugary, and of the best flavor. St. 
Regis is exceedingly hardy, the canes enduring the severest cold 
uninjured. Wonderfully prolific. The only red raspberry that 
yields a crop of fruit the first season. Plants set in the spring 
will commence bearing the following June. Cutting off the canes 
near the ground, late in the fall, prevents the summer crop and 
has a tendency to make the fall crop more abundant. 
PRICES: 6 for 45c; 12 for 75c; 25 for $1.25; 50 for $2.15; 
100 for $3.85, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 100 for $2.85; 
200 for $4.90; 300 for $6.95; 400 for $9.00; 500 for $11.00; 1,000 
for $21.00.
