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 plants make heavier bushes and bear 
more fruit than the 1 yr. tips. The 2 yr. plants are 
winter hardened, are a year older and are more 
satisfactory.

CHIRP. 
Earliest Red. 
At the Minnesota 
fall. It bears 
bright crimson, 
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 Arm, juicy and 
tasty. I consider Chief our best one. 
LATHAM (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 first'year. 
ST. REGIS-EVERBEARING. Produces a full 
crop in the regular Raspberry season and 
then continues to fruit in late summer and 
the same year as planted. The berries are 
medium size and of high quality. 
CTJUBEBLANO. The main crop 
variety. Today the most widely 
planted of all Black Raspber¬ 
ries. The bushes are vigorous 
growers. The fruit is very large 
and firm and of exceptionally 
high quality. Our stock of Cum¬ 
berland Raspberries comes from 
select strains of the best fruit¬ 
ing stock, and they are hardy in 
the Central West. 
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. 
FLAMING GIANT—Sensational Fruiting Red 
In flavor, size, hardiness and color. Flaming Giant (Ohta) is 
unsurpassed. After years of the most severe weather tests, 
Flaming Giant is proving itself an excellent shipper and supreme 
in quality for the home garden. They have that rich, alluring 
red color, firm flesh, and are hardy clear to the Canadian line 
and fruit exceedingly well in the South too. Reports from 
Tennessee, Kentucky and other southern states say that Flaming 
Giant has never been equalled by any other Red Raspberry,
