Brown’s Raspberries 
Plant these in rows 6 feet apart, the individual plants 
being spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. These plants thrive in good 
garden soil. Set Raspberries 2 or 3 inches deeper than they 
stood in the nursery rows as indicated by the earth line on 
the lower branches. Cut out and burn all the old canes after 
fruiting. Spray Raspberries in the spring, before buds open, 
with Bordeaux Mixture. 
Red Raspberries 
Chief. Chief Raspberry is another new variety of Minnesota 
origin. It is closely related to the Latham, which has, in 
a few short years, become the most popular Red Rasp¬ 
berry known. Chief is about 10 days or 2 weeks earlier 
than Latham; fruit not quite so large. Like Latham, the 
plants are strong, vigorous and hardy, and very resistant 
to Raspberry disease. We recommend that Chief and 
Latham both be planted where one wants the best in Red 
Raspberries. Use Chief for early and Latham for late. 
Cumberland Black Raspberries—the old dependable variety.

of splendid quality and will stand shipping long distances. The 
berries are large, bright red and of excellent quality. 
Herbert. Ripens before Cuthbert. A Canadian variety of great 
hardiness; strong canes and healthy foliage. Berries bright red, 
sweet and of large size; heavy bearer. 
Latham. The giant bright red berries are decidedly attractive

this special variety as a prolific yielder.
