RASPBERRIES 
Will thrive and grow in most any soil. They are 
extra hardy practically everywhere. Plant Rasp¬ 
berries 4 feet apart in rows 6 feet apart. The old 
wood of black varieties should be cut out as soon 
as they have fruited. Thin out suckers of red va¬ 
rieties each Spring to five or six per hill. Pinch the 
canes of blacks and purples when they reach the 
height of about 2 feet. You can plant red varieties 
twice as thick as blacks, if you wish. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Delicious Fresh or Canned 
Two-year transplants make heavier bushes and 
bear more fruit than the tips. The transplants are 
winter hardened, are a year older and are more 
satisfactory.

Earliest Red.

NEW LOGAN 
The Earliest Black Raspberry 
Ripens about a week before Cumber¬ 
land. Has been tried and tested and 
found a highly desirable variety for the 
Farm Belt. It is a hardy, sturdy 
grower and the heaviest yielder of 
large, jet-black, sweet, juicy berries. 
Genuine selected heavy fruiting strain. 
State Planting Farm, many consider it 
better than Latham because it yields 
heavier and is 10 days earlier. Pro¬ 
duces more fruit than any other Red 
Raspberry and the quality is extra 
high. It has that brilliant red color of 
Latham and is equally firm, juicy and 
tasty. I consider Chief our best one. 
IiATHARE (The Biggest Bed). Latham is 
one of the finest Red Raspberries for 
the Central West. A Minnesota pro¬ 
duction, extra hardy and bears tremen¬ 
dous crops of large size berries. The 
berries are large and solid and don’t 
mush. Almost always bears the first 
year. 
ST. BEGIS-EVEBBEABING. Produces 
a full crop in the regular Raspberry 
season and then continues to fruit in 
late summer and fall. It bears the 
same year as planted. The berries are 
bright crimson, medium size and of 
high quality. 
COLUMBIAN PURPLE. One of our best 
canning varieties. The fruit is large 
rich purple and rich in flavor.

Asparagus Tips Quickly 
Plant my 2 yr. old extra heavy roots. Under or¬

from them the 2nd year. Asparagus is another com¬ 
plete food in itself. It is non-starchy, highly alka¬ 
line and is a wonderful tonic. It is also a laxative 
and health builder of the highest quality. Plant on 
rich soil. 
PEDIGREED WASHINGTON - BUST PBOOP. The 
best in Asparagus. Pedigreed rust resisting strain 
produces very large stocks. It may be called “cut
