LATHAM 
The Greatest Red Raspberry 
in All the World! 
Big, handsome berries of clear red color, and 
full of rich quality and flavor that simply can not 
be equalled. Hardy everywhere, and the heaviest 
producer of all. The fruit is firm, keeps well and 
ships well; the post popular market berry as well 
as for the home. Our Latham plants are a splendid, 
thrifty lot, northern grown, and often start bearing 
the first year. Select, No. I, 2-yeor plants, 12 for 
60c; 25 for 90c; 100 for $3.20; 1,000 for $24.00.

NEW CHIEF 
Finest Early Red Raspberry. 
An off-spring of the famous 
Latham, having many of the fine qualities of its 
parent, and some even to a greater degree. The immense crop of fruit starts 
ripening 10 to 12 days earlier than Latham, and these early berries, sweet and 
deliciously flavored, bring high market prices. Hardy in all sections. Beiries a 
trifle smaller than the Latham; excellent for cooking or eating fresh. Ho. 1, 
2-yeor plants, 12 for 60c; 25 for 90e; 100 for $3.20; 1,000 for $24.00. 
(If desired by parcel post, add 10c for 12, 15c for 25, or 25c per 100). 
Grow your own Raspberries from Ferris’ select hardy 
plants, and have for once all you want. The high prices 
they command on the market make them a luxury few 
can afford. Raspberries need very little care, and the 
small amount you pay out for our No. 1 plants will re¬ 
pay you thousandfold in delicious berries for pies and 
jams, with oftentimes a nice surplus to sell 
at a good profit. 
Plant Raspberries shallow in any 
good growing soil, and for distance 
apart to plant see page 24. Use shal¬ 
low cultivation then early in June 
mulch heavily with straw. The wood 
which fruited this year should be cut 
out after the last picking and burned. 
Trim back the ends of the canes 
about one-third early in the 
spring of each year.

BLACKBERRIES 
For delicious jams, jellies, and pies, the Blackberry 
is hard to beat. Very easy to grow, requiring ordi¬ 
nary, well-drained soil. A good mulching under the 
bushes will help to conserve the moisture, and we 
advise pinching back the canes occasionally through 
the season.
