RASPBERRIES 
Grow lots of raspberries. They’re easy to grow; 
they’re hardy practically everywhere; they thrive 
and grow in almost any soil. Plant 4 ft. apart in 
rows 6 ft. apart. As soon as black caps have fruited 
the old wood should be cut out. Thin out the canes 
of the red varieties each spring to 5 or 6 per hill. 
Pinch the canes of black raspberries when they 
reach a height of 2 ft. You may plant red varieties 
twice as thick as black caps if you wish. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES (BlackCaps) 
Sweet and Delicious Fresh or Canned 
Two-year plants are heavier and bear more fruit 
quickly than one-year tips. The two-year plants are 
winter hardened, are a year older and more satis¬ 
factory.

RUBY RED RHUBARB 
New, different, strain of Rhubarb. 
Red all the way through. Twice as 
large as ordinary rhubarb. Plant 
some this year. Each 45c; 3 for 
$1.25. 
These are Selected Heavy Plants Gen¬ 
erally Called 2-yr. Olds. 
CHIBF. Earliest Red. At the Minnesota 
State Planting Farm, many consider it 
better than Latham because it yields 
heavier and is 10 days earlier. Pro¬ 
duces more fruit than any other red 
raspberry and the quality is extra 
high. It has that brilliant red color of 
Latham and is equally firm,- juicy and 
tasty. I consider Chief our best one. 
LATHAM (The Biggest Bed). Latham is 
one of the finest red raspberries for 
the entire country. A Minnesota pro¬ 
duction, extra hardy and bears tremen¬ 
dous crops of large size berries. The 
berries are large and solid and don’t 
mush. Almost always bears first year. 
FLAMING GIANT 
Sensational Fruiting Red 
Flaming Giant (Ohta) really proved itself this year in 
flavor, size, hardiness and color. It is unsurpassed: it 
is an excellent shipper. Supreme in quality for the 
home garden. They have that rich, alluring red color, 
firm flesh, and are hardy clear to the Canadian line. 
They fruit exceedingly well in the Middle West and clear 
to the South, too. Reports from some Southern States 
say that Flaming Giant has never been equalled there 
by any other red raspberry. A giant in size, flaming 
in color, and delicious in flavor.
