Big Yields and Sure Profits From 
- Certified ” Raspberries for Home or Market 
Fruit growers are making money with our “CERTIFIED” Red Raspberry plants. You can do the same. There is 
no secret about it and no difficulty if you start with clean healthy true-tomame plants and then follow our simple 
directions that go with every package. Red Raspberries are one of the very easiest fruits to grow in the home gar' 
den and one of the most profitable to grow for market.

R. T. SIMMONS, Wynne, Ark., reports that his Raspberries from a little 
over two acres of Latham set partly in poor soil on steep land, brought him 
over $600.00 the first season, and prospects are for better than $1,000.00 
next year when in full fruiting. He says: “None of my other crops (apples, 
pears, peaches, grapes, cotton, corn, hay, potatoes), will pay like Raspberries, 
and I am using raspberry money now to mature and develop the other 
crops.” 
J. P. McMAHON, Route 1, Mankato, Minn., reports: “I have 1200 of your Latham 
set 12 years ago. Last year I got $700.00 net profit in fruit from them. I am 69 years old. 
I have 8 acres of land, and if I was a young man I would plant the 8 acres in Latham. 
In three years’ time I could buy the best farm around Mankato.” 
Victoria, Minn. 
“I picked 285 24 -pint crates of Latham for market besides what we 
used, ourseh’es and small lots we sold. I figure this about 15 crates, 
making about 300 crates from my Latham planting, which is three- 
quarters of an acre in size and was 9 years old when this crop was 
picked” (Signed) OTTO SCHEUNEMAN. 
$500 From One Acre! 
An average yield from “CERTIFIED” RED RASPBERRIES is 150 
24'pint crates per acre. Many fields yield 200 crates per acre, and ex' 
ceptionally good fields in good seasons go as high as 400 crates per acre. 
Prices vary with the locality and the season. From $2.00 to $3.00 a crate 
is considered a fair price. At only 200 crates per acre and at only $2.50 
per crate, you would have an income of $500.00 from just one acre of 
“CERTIFIED” Raspberries. 
Sit down now with your pencil and paper. You know what income you 
would like to have during raspberry time. From that you can figure how 
many plants you should set. Planting 5x5 feet apart (Northern States) 
requires 1742 plants per acre. Planting 6x6 feet apart (Central and 
Southern States) requires 1210 plants per acre.

Starting Right Saves You 
Money and Avoids Loss 
You can save money and avoid failure 
by getting your plants from RASPBERRY’ 
HEADQUARTERS. Success with Rasp- 
berries, as with anything else, depends on 
getting started on a sure foundation—that 
is, with clean, strong, vigorous, disease'free 
plants. 
PROF. A. G. RUGGLES, Minnesota 
State Entomologist and Head of the Division 
of Nursery Inspection, speaking of rasp' 
berry planting stock says, 
“Clean foundation stock is 
vitally necessary to sue' 
cess in raspberry grow' 
ing. If planters secure 
their plants from fields 
grown exclusively for 
plants, they can avoid 
much of the trouble and 
disappointment that gen' 
erally follows the use of 
plants dug from the side 
of fruiting rows. Our ad' 
vice to anyone planting 
Raspberries is by all 
means to secure plants 
from state inspected fields 
grown exclusively for 
plants. In this way you 
avoid loss and disappoint- 
ment and are assured of 
clean healthy stock as the 
foundation for a success¬ 
ful raspberry field.”

No fruiting canes are allowed to grow, thereby developing the greatest amount of health and 
vigor in the plants we send to you.

OUR PLANTS HAVE A NATIONAL 
REPUTATION 
They are inspected several times each seas¬ 
on by the State Nursery Inspector and 
have been pronounced “mosaic-free” and 
in excellent condition. No effort has been 
spared to produce No. 1 plants. Our clim¬ 
ate and soil are ideal for developing vigor 
and good roots. Contrary to the common 
policy of digging small plants and leaving 
the best canes for fruiting, we dig the en¬ 
tire field, giving you the best, strongest, 
and most vigorous plants. The special ma¬ 
chine used in digging these plants makes 
possible the excellent root system of our 
Red Raspberries.
