*Certified ' LATHAM Red Raspberries 
Genuine Redpath Strain 
By sheer pre'eminent merit 
Latham has become in a few short Latham 
years the most popular Red Rasp' 
berry in the United States today. (S ee Color 
Popular in the home garden Cover) 
because it is easy to grow and sure 
to bear, and because it gives plenty 
of luscious red berries to eat and 
to can. 
Popular with berry 
growers because it makes 
them money, it is a sure 
cropper, a heavy cropper, 
and the fruit carries well 
to market and commands 
a premium. 
Prof. W. H. Alder' 
Prof. W. H. Alderman man > Chief of the Dl' 
vision of Horticulture, 
University of Minne' 
sota, very conservatively says: “The Latham variety 
of Red Raspberry not only is resistant to our winter 
conditions but it is also one of the most productive 
Raspberries with which we are familiar. 
“Its attractive coloring and firmness give it such fa' • 
vorable appearance on the market that it ordinarily 
commands a premium of fifty cents a case over and 
above the prices of the ordinary Raspberry. 
“I would say that our test plots of Red Raspberries 
at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm have 
given conclusive proof that raspberry growing is profit' 
able in this state. It is highly important to start with dis' 
ease'free plants and follow up with suitable culture. Our 
test plots under such conditions yielded from 254 to 294 
24'pint crates per acre the third season after planting.” 
Plant Latham for pleasure and for profit. Prices, page 8. 
RASPBERRY JUICE—A REFRESHING 
DRINK 
Extract the juice by mashing the fruit in 
sugar. Drain through a cloth and preserve the 
clear juice in jars. It makes a refreshing summer 
drink when diluted with water, and is wonder' 
ful in lemonade. 
Chief 
Prof. Alderman says: “The plants are very hardy, vigorous, produc* 
tive, and excellent plant makers; canes are distinctly reddish, not quite 
so tall but stockier than Latham; foliage is luxuriant, leaves large, of the 
Sunbeam type; very resistant if not immune to mildew, and very little 
affected by mosaic thus far. The fruit is medium in size, roundish to 
slightly conic, bright attractive red; drupelets medium to below in size, 
adhering well so that berries do not crumble; flesh firm, juicy, medium 
sweet; quality high; season early.’’ 
Chief is excellent for eating with sugar and cream, for jams and for 
canning. Fruit growers are planting Chief for the early market where it 
brings $1.00 to $1.50 per case more than the main raspberry crop 10 
days later. We recommend at least a quarter of your raspberry planting 
be of Chief. Prices, page 8. 
"Certified” CHIEF Red Raspberry 
“Chief” is a seedling of Latham and was originated by the Minnesota State 
Fruit Breeding Farm. It possesses many of the good qualities of Latham, some of 
them to even a greater degree than the parent, the main point of difference 
being in season of ripening. “Chief” is 10 to 12 days earlier to ripen 
than Latham, thus giving us a profitable berry for early market. It 
bridges the gap between strawberries and ordinary raspberries—and 
the berries bring a good price on the market.
