THE LATHAM RASPBERRY 
Laitham is another one of Minnesota’s valuable rasp - 
berries. It has brought berry growers thousands of dollars 
and is still holding its own. No commercial grower should be 
without Latham on account of its large berry and being that 
it is ten days later than Chief, it prolongs the berry season for 
the berry grower. The canes are not quite as vigorous and 
hard as Chief and are susceptible to mildew and mosaic. Al¬ 
though Laitham can be grown successfully if planted in cheek 
and on hills or somewhere in the open to give them good air 
drainage. 
If you intend to plant a field of raspberries, plant at 
least one-fourth of it to Latham. Your success is my success. 
I am growing both kinds and sell whatever a customer wants. 
I have had a number of inquiries the past years for (Big Four 
or Redpath Raspberries). Both of these are the Latham. 
Nursery salesmen use these names in order to make a sale and 
get more money for their plants. If there was a better rasp¬ 
berry than Chief and Latham for the cold Northwest, I would 
like to have it.

GRADING RED RASPBERRY PLANTS 
There is a greait deal of difference in grading raspberry 
plants. Nearly every plant grower lias a different idea about 
it. I believe the most satisfactory way is the way I am grad" 
ing. 
The grade No. 1-A are canes | inch in diameter and up. 
The grade No. 1 _ B consists of plants ^ & up with good roots. 
The grade No. 2 consists of plants l and down. 
I do not pack one plant in any grade that has not suffi¬ 
cient roots to grow. I believe this is the fairest way to sell 
berry plants. The customer may select the grade he wants. Of 
course, they are priced according to grade too. If you buy 
just berry plants, the nursery can ship anything—big plants 
and little plants. Naturally your stand will be uneven oil ac" 
•count of the uneven plants. 
Zachman’s berry plants are guaranteed to give satisfaction.
