Selected 1 0 years ago from the planting of 4000 Latham Seedlings, the 
Minnesota State Breeding Farm has given to the berry growers of America 
the famous Latham's only rival, "Chief." 
Chief has turned out to be by far the finest early Red for general planting. 
The fruit is not quite as large as Latham, but is bright red, very firm and 
an unusually heavy yielder. (Two-year plantings have produced nearly 200 
crates per acre; three-year plantings 294 crates per acre). 
What Other Prominent Men Say 
About the New Chief 
"CHIEF" OUTYIELDS OTHER REDS 
IN OHIO 
J. S. Shoemaker, Associate Horti¬ 
culturist, Ohio Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station, says, " 'Chief' is a 
heavy cropper. The plants bore 
quite a few berries the year they 
were set and this year outyielded all 
other red raspberry varieties in our 
variety test plantation." 
Ray Speer, Former President Min¬ 
nesota State Horticultural Society, 
says, " 'Chief' is certain to achieve 
as wide a reputation as its parent, 
Latham. Since Latham fruits later 
than 'Chief,' the latter really is a 
supplement to Latham, and in no 
sense a competitor of it. In com¬ 
parison with King, which fruits the 
same time as 'Chief,' the fruits of 
'Chief' are slightly larger, somewhat 
earlier, of better quality, and of 
more uniform shape. It is a firmer 
berry, ships very well, and is less 
crumbly than King. Experts every¬ 
where predict a wonderful future 
for 'Chief.' " 
The Chief is practically immune 
from mosaic and mildew and is much 
hardier. Because of the unusual abun¬ 
dance of tough leathery foliage, and 
the strong fibrous roots developed on 
the Townsend Nurseries, Chief is not 
so subject to drought as other varie¬ 
ties. 
With the excellent keeping and 
shipping qualities of the "Chief" . . . 
the brilliancy of color and appetite ap¬ 
peal, coupled with its fine flavor and 
heavy yielding qualities and the added 
proft of 75c to $1.00 per crate over 
all others makes Chief an outstanding 
money maker in the raspberry field.
