Raspberry Growing Again 
Becomes Profitable 
The season of 1936 definitely marked the turning 
point in the trend of fruit prices. They are now on 
the up grade and once more the raspberry grower 
can make a profit. J\[ow is the time to plant rasp - 
berries. 
Bear in mind, however, that better fruit prices 
will not reduce your losses from disease. Inferior 
planting stock will still result in an abundance of 
disease in your plantation and this will inevitably 
result in low yields, low fruit quality, and the ne¬ 
cessity of replanting every few years. 
Registered plants will eliminate these tremen¬ 
dous losses from disease. Registered plants are pro¬ 
duced from parent plantations which are under con¬ 
stant study by specialists selected by the state, and 
working independently of the Association. The 
plantings are kept free of disease by standard iso¬ 
lation and efficient rogueing out of diseased plants, 
thus preventing spread of the disease-causing agents. 
There are no other raspberry plants sold under such 
rigid and strict inspection. 
Unfortunately the virus or degenerative diseases 
of raspberry do not show on the small plants which 
you buy. Your only safeguard lies in your know¬ 
ledge of the history or parentage of your planting 
stock. Registered plants have a written history and 
a good one. Loo\ for the name Registered and 
increase your profits. 
Registered Plants cost no more in the begin¬ 
ning (see price list) and are very much cheaper in 
the end. 
Loo\ at the yield records. Various Ohio Experi¬ 
ment Station publications and those of other states 
emphasise the value of setting only disease-free 
plants.
