RASPBERRIES 
Raspberries ior Commercial Planting an d the H ome Garden 
Raspberries hold a prominent place among small 
fruits. They are earliest, for one thing, and ripen when 
folks are hungry for fruit. Raspberries hold an eco¬ 
nomic place of importance; they are a staple and regular 
fruit crop, usually bear fruit the following season if set 
out in the spring; bring the growers in a lot of cash each 
spring. For home use. Raspberries are important; they 
are so very hardy, bear so regularly and abundantly, 
come in when there is no other fruit and can be used in 
so many ways, from berries-and-cream and delicious 
shortcake, to jam for the winter days—every home 
should have its own Raspberry patch. Your apprecia¬ 
tion of having “fruit right from your own place" is a 
point to consider and you have it with regularity, of 
good quality and have your table supplied with fresh 
fruit, if you will set out a few Raspberry plants. They 
begin to ripen early in July. 
Red Raspberries 
ST. REGIS EVEKREAKING RASPBERRY 
Chief (New). A new variety developed from a seedling 
of Latham, and in many ways superior to that great 
variety. Ripens about a week earlier, grows stockier 
and sturdier, and is hardier. The plants show great 
resistance to mildew and seem to be practically im¬ 
mune to mosaic and other Raspberry diseases. The 
fruit is bright red, firm, of wonderful quality, and 
has exceptionally good shipping qualities. 
Cuthbert. Hardy variety, withstanding the cold of the 
Northern states and the heat of the Southern equally 
well. The fruit is of splendid quality and will stand 
shipping long distances. The berries are large, coni¬ 
cal, bright red and of excellent quality. 
Herbert. Ripens before Cuthbert. A Canadian variety 
of great hardiness; strong canes and healthy foliage; 
berries bright red, sweet, and of large size; heavy 
bearer. 
RASPBERRY PLUM FARMER 
Latham. Considered by many the finest red Rasp¬ 
berry grown. Perfectly hardy, even in Manitoba 
winters, without protection. Unusually heavy pro¬ 
ducer, outjdelding even the Cuthbert. The berries are 
large, round, and of a beautiful brilliant red color that 
makes it a quick seller on the market and very desir¬ 
able for canning. Good shipper. 
Newburg. The newest and most promising variety 
the N. Y. State Experiment Station has yet intro¬ 
duced. Has no superior in keeping and shipping 
qualities. Vigorous and hardy of growth, it is ex¬ 
ceedingly productive. Mosaic has never appeared 
in this wonderful new variety. Individual berries 
are much larger than others and retain the true red 
raspberry flavor. 
St. Regis Everbearing. Large sweet berries of at¬ 
tractive red. Will continue to fruit till the first snows 
of winter, which often makes it profitable for a late 
market fruit; will also produce a good crop in July.

Black Raspberries 
Black Diamond. The yield is very heavy, the fruit is 
very sweet and delicious in quality, with few and 
small seeds, and its quality, productiveness and 
healthy growth make this one of the best, 
Cumberland. Early, good sized, firm berries of fine 
quality; bush healthy, vigorous and productive; de¬ 
pendable, staple, popillar. 
Gregg. Berries large, firm, shipping well; black with 
light bloom; few seeds; quality good. Makes very 
strong canes. 
Ohio. Very early; hardy, vigorous, enormous bearer; 
superior quality; good shipper. Keeps long; good for 
drying. 
Plum Farmer. Early; a good market berry, ripening 
up the crop within a few days. Very large size and 
great productiveness. 
Purple Raspberries 
Columbian (Purple). Berries of the very largest size 
known; bush of extra strong growth and great bearing 
quality. Large, juicy and sweet. The favorite can¬ 
ning variety.
