BUCHANAN’S LATHAM RED RASPBERRIES 
4 
Big, luscious, appetizing red, finest-looking raspberry grown, possess¬ 
ing extreme hardiness, and a splendid shipper—has produced a profit¬ 
able yield first summer after planting. Plants come to you Mosaic Free 
(this disease often means lost profits). Latham, in a test with three 
other best-known varieties, produced 1,782 quarts more to an acre than 
the best of the other three varieties. Recommended by such well known 
authorities as University of Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, Pennsyl¬ 
vania State College, North Dakota State College and many others. 
Set red raspberry plants 5 feet apart each way. Plant 2 or 3 inches 
deeper than they were in the nursery. Cut back all stems as soon as 
planted to within 6 or 8 inches of the ground. Cultivate well between 
the rows to destroy weeds at each hill. Drive a stake at each hill and 
tie up the canes. After fruiting, cut out old canes and burn, leaving 5 
to 6 vigorous new ones to grow for fruiting the following year. In the 
spring, cut off the top 12 inches or possibly more of the previous season’s 
growth to strong, well-ripened wood.

BUCHANAN’S SOUTHERN GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
ALL PLANTS ARE GROWN ON THE BEST NEW LAND AND ARE SURE TO PLEASE YOU IN EVERY RESPECT 
Our plants are produced by one of the largest growers of strawberry plants in the United States, who is located in the best berry 
section of the South. He has built up the largest business of its kind in the country. All plants are fresh dug. After the orders are 
received, grower digs the plants, and nothing but fresh stock is sent out. We start shipping October 10th; can ship most any date 
from that time until May 1st. All plants are guaranteed to reach your express office in good condition if taken out at once upon 
arrival. By mail we guarantee safe arrival, when taken out of postoffice at once upon arrival. Plant on good ground, deeply worked 
and well manured. Set in rows 3V2 feet apart, 15 inches in rows, for field culture; 15 inches each way for garden. Cultivate clean, 
mulch late in the fall. Remove mulch after fruiting and spade in a light dressing of manure. About 7,000 plants an acre. 
New Southland —This variety was introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture in the 
spring of 1932. Its behavior since that time has emphasized the fact that it is the first really 
good home garden berry the South has ever had. In many communities of the South we believe 
Southland offers an opportunity not only to enjoy better strawberries than ever before at 
home, but to start also a profitable business supplying fancy, large, high quality berries to the 
markets in Southern towns and cities. 
Blakemore —Early—Solid—Productive—A Great Shipping Berry. It is a recent introduction by 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A seedling of Missionary and Premier. It is primarily 
a long distance Southern shipping berry, but has done well as far north as Southern New 
Jersey and Southern Pennsylvania. As a shipping berry for the South we feel that it should 
almost completely replace Missionary and Klondyke, except in Florida, where Missionary is 
the leader. 
Progressive —Everbearing—best buy grown; bears all summer up to frost. 
New Southland— Home Garden or home market, large, early berry, not best for shipping. 
Klondyke— The old standard shipping variety, set more than any other, because of its keeping 
quality. 
Aroma— Large berry, bright red—fine for long distance shipping, attractive to the eye.
