RASPBERRIES 
CUMBERLAND BLACK RASPBERRY—One 
of the hardiest of Black Raspberries. 
ANCIENT BRITTON BLACKBERRY—Most 
satisfactory of blackberries. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
CHIEF—Chief has already established itself as a 
herry filling an important place, and is un¬ 
doubtedly the most popular early raspberry. 
The fruit, medium in size, bright red and firm, 
ripens early and extends over a long period, 
ripens even earlier than the King. Quality of 
fruit is excellent. The plants are vigorous in 
growth, perfectly hardy and seem to be almost 
resistant to mildew and mosaic. The wood 
ripens early and is a good plant maker. Chief 
has the good qualities looked for in a rasp¬ 
berry: earliness, hardiness, quality of fruit and 
yield. 
RED LAKE CURRANTS 
This new currant was originated recently at 
the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm at 
Excelsior, Minnesota, and promises to replace 
all other varieties in t he cherry currant class. The 
berry is very large and is borne on long stems 
forming exceptionally long well filled bunches. 
The quality of fruit is very good, the ripening 
season is medium and the plant a heavy yielder. 
While this new variety produces large berries in 
long bunches, its most valuable quality is the 
sturdy upright type of bush. This character is 
lacking in many of the older varieties. Because 
of the above qualities, Red Lake is undoubtedly 
going to be the leading currant. 
LATHAM—Now the most popular late Red 
Raspberry grown in this section of the country 
as well as in the East. A late, large, bright red 
berry of good quality. Latham is hardy in the 
Northwest without winter protection.
