World’s Greatest Midseason 
Red Raspberry 
This money-making variety was started by the Minne¬ 
sota State Plant Breeding Farm. Prof. Hanson, the noted 
breeder from South Dakota, states: “The hardiest Red 
Raspberry of them all.” 
If it stands the Minnesota and Dakota winters it will 
survive anywhere. Berries large, firm, the best for long 
distant shipping. Reaches market in attractive condition 
bringing top-notch prices. Berries hang on vines well 
after ripening; don’t crumble at any time. 
Two-Year Transplants (see bottom page) 
We offer three grades of Latham plants. Common Sucker 
plants (Grade No. 1), One-year Extra Fancy and Two- 
year Transplants. The One-year Extra Fancy plants will 
bear some berries if canes are cut back 4 to 6 inches from 
the ground line.

CHIEF 
1 Week to 
10 Days 
Ahead of 
Them All 
EARLIEST 
OF ALL RED 
RASPBERRIES 
The Chief is a brand new variety of red raspberries and which 
has had sufficient testing in commercial fields and experimental 
plots to safely place it as a variety that is going to replace all 
other early varieties of red raspberries. It could rightly be 
called an “Early Latham,” because it resembles that variety in 
many ways, but is a week to ten days earlier. This is one of 
the greatest money-making values of the variety, because with 
a week to ten days of early berries on any market means extra 
profits. Those who wish early “reds” for early markets or for home use, 
should set Chief and we have some real values in Chief plants this year. 
Chief was started at the Minnesota State 
Plant Breeding Farm and here’s what 
Minnesota State authorities and leading 
berry growers say about it: 
1. Heavier Yielder than Latham. 
2. Week to ten days earlier. 
3. Hardier, and more vigorous grower. 
4. Of better quality and better shipper. 
5. Almost completely free from Mosaic, 
Mildew, etc. 
6 . A freer grower with stronger, stockier 
plants than Latham. 
7. Destined to be the leading Red Rasp¬ 
berry. 
Our original Chief stock came direct from 
Minnesota and we offer genuine Chief plants 
in three grades listed at right. We never 
heard of such low prices for a new variety. 
Here Are Our Money- 
Saving Prices oil Genuine 
Chief Plants 
Never before has a new variety as val¬ 
uable to fruit growers as Chief been 
offered at such money-saving prices 
made possible by our purchasing a year 
ago the entire stock of several large 
plant growers in Minnesota where Chief origi¬ 
nated. We now have the largest supply ever 
offered.

Our Two Grades of Chief 
This year we have two grades of Chief plants to offer. 
Each is carefully graded—all weak undersized plants 
thrown out. You will find it doesn’t pay to set weak, 
puny plants, those so often listed at cheap prices, and 
they are cheap—the most expensive plants you can 
buy. It will cost you just as much to prepare your 
soil, set out and care for weak plants as it will our 
careful graded large, vigorous plants. 
Keith’s One-Year No. 1 Grade 
These are one year sucker plants of an even, uniform 
size. These plants are very suitable for commercial 
or garden planting, but not so large as our next grade. 
They are so selected and graded that all weak under¬ 
sized plants are thrown out. 
Keith’s One-Year Extra Fancy 
Heavy-Rooted Grade 
In this grade we offer only those plants with extra 
large canes and well developed root systems. These 
plants are obtained where few plants grow in a row 
where each develops into a large thrifty vigorous plant, 
many of them with canes as large as your thumb. 
These plants will bear some berries for you during the 
late summer if you cut the tops (canes) back 4 to 6 
inches above the ground line when you set them out. 
They cost more than the other grade but they are 
at least twice as valuable to you in starting your 
red raspberry patch.
