Registered Plants Kept Grower 
in Business 
W. W. Trowbridge, Painesville, Ohio, says, “In 
1929 I was ready to quit raising black-caps and was 
actually looking for some crop to take their place. 
Then I bought my first Registered plants. Now after 
7 years with Registered plants, I feel that by pro¬ 
viding proper isolation from other brambles and fre¬ 
quent, thorough rogueing of diseased plants, if they 
appear, I can keep a raspberry planting in a profit¬ 
able condition for as long a time as I can keep the 
soil in condition to grow a crop. My oldest planting 
set in 1931 is still 92 per cent of a full stand. My 
yield in 1935 on 4.1 acres averaged 83.7 bushels per 
acre. A bad wind storm just before harvest caused 
the loss of an estimated additional 15 bushels per 
acre. 
“We are planning on starting a new planting in 
1938 and certainly shall use Registered plants. 11 
Another Ohio grower, in Wayne County, reports 
that his Cumberland planting, started with Regis¬ 
tered plants in 1927, yielded in 1935, its eighth 
fruiting season, at the rate of 94 bushels per acre. 
A picture of this planting appears on the front page 
of this folder. 
Do not ta\e a chance. Start right with disease-free 
Registered plants and eliminate the most frequent 
cause of failure. 
Time for Planting 
The proper time to plant raspberries is in the 
very early spring while the plants are still dormant. 
We appreciate early orders, which enable us to 
make shipment at the proper season. For further
