RASPBERRIES 
Among the most popular of the bush fruits are the raspberries. They are extremely 
valuable for both the market and the home. Increasing interest has been found in growing 
of raspberries since the introduction of strains that produce heavy crops of large, luscious 
colorful fruits. Their flavor and general excellence make them a first choice of the fruit lover; 
the red, black, and purple varieties are desirable and popular for dessert use and each, 
especially the purple, makes excellent jams, jellies, and juices. 
Although bushes are safely planted in the fall, it is advisable to set them out in the 
spring thus avoiding the risk of winter heaving. The bramble fruits should have all old 
wood and the weaker new wood cut out close to the ground every year. Carefully burn 
the brush to destroy insects which are harbored in the old canes. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
Can be grown on almost any type of soil, provided it is well drained but has sufficient 
humus content to hold moisture. Plants should be set 3 feet apart with rows 5 feet apart in 
the garden. Commercial growers use the hedgerow system. In this method the plants are 
set about 3 feet apart in rows spaced from 6 to 12 feet apart, depending on the method of 
cultivation. 
LATHAM 
This is the most highly productive and profitable 
variety that can be grown. It combines fair quality 
with unusual firmness and is, therefore, an excel¬ 
lent market variety. On account of its extra large 
fruit, the picking is rapid in comparison with other 
red varieties. Latham ripens in midseason and its 
picking season extends long afterwards. We offer 
extra thrifty plants, carefully inspected to insure 
freedom from disease. 
TAYLOR 
Is the most promising red raspberry on the New York State 
Fruit Testing grounds. The plants are usually vigorous, hardy, 
productive, and tall growing. The sturdy canes hold the berries 
well off the ground. The berries ripen shortly before Latham, are 
large, bright attractive red, thick-fleshed, firm and of excellent 
guality. 
CHIEF 
This variety is a suitable companion to Latham in 
the commercial planting. While its berries are not 
quite so large, it ripens about a week earlier than 
Latham. Its quality and the thriftiness of its plants 
and the high yield have won an enviable place in 
the commercial planting for this excellent variety. 
NEWBURGH 
A new variety of great promise, introduced by the New York 
Fruit Testing Association. The berries are bright red, do not 
crumble and are very firm. The guality is excellent, flavor mild. 
Newburg ripens a few days earlier then Latham and is reported 
to have unusual immunity to red raspberry diseases. The firm¬ 
ness of the berries is a prime feature for commercial purposes. 
Every planting should contain Newburg on account of its great 
promise.
