OUTH MICHIGAN NURSERY, New Buffalo, Mich. 
74e YOUNGBERRY 
This new berry is so much different from any berry that is grown in most parts of 
the country. It is a cross between the Loganberry and Dewberry. Color of fruit is a 
rich wine color. Size 1 to 1 '/2 inches. Flavor is pleasant, sweet, with the tartness of 
the blackberry. Excellent for table use, canning, jellies, pies, and for wine. The plant 
is a rank grower. Withstands cold and heat, adapted to a wide range of soils, a great 
producer. Try them in your locality. They will be the talk of your neighborhood. Plants 
are still scarce, and a little high in price. Prices same as Lucretia. 
LUCRETIA T DEWBERRY y 
Lucretia 
Dewberry 
The only real good Dewberry on the market which is good 
for all purposes, being very productive, of extra large size 
earlier than any of the rest, will grow and thrive or 
very light soil and live for many years. If you live 
in a locality where your thermometer registers 
seven degrees below zero, you can easily prevent 
the vines from winter-killing by laying down on the 
ground and covering them with straw, which can 
be held in place by just a few shovelfuls of earth. 
Then in the spring they can be taken up 
and tied to wires which are fastened just 
ike a grape trellis, but not as high, some¬ 
thing like three feet high is about right. 
Dewberries make a good addition to your 
blackberry list, you will like them as well 
or better for all uses than the common run 
of blackberries, and ripening early, you get 
the advantage of higher prices; as the 
berry is much larger, you can pick a crate 
quicker. They grow practically free from 
all diseases.

BERRY CULTURE 
PLANTING. Black Raspberries and Purple Raspberries (which are hybrids of the black and 
red varieties and in habit of growth, propagation and culture are very similar to the Black Rasp¬ 
berry), should be planted 3 V 2 feet apart in row, with rows 7 feet apart, requiring about 1,725 
plants per acre. We recommend setting Black Raspberries the same as Strawberries, by making 
holes with a spade and following same method described for Strawberries. Many, however, prefer 
to plow a straight furrow and set the plants against the land side, pulling dirt around the plant 
with a hoe or hook, and pressing earth firmly (with feet). 
CULTIVATION. Shallow, regular use of cultivator during the remainder of the growing season 
holds moisture, and keeps down weeds. The second year plow away from rows before growth starts 
in the spring and clean cut the rows with 
CHIEF Earliest 
a hoe. Cultivate thoroughly during grow¬ 
ing season to keep up the moisture and insure a good crop. 
In the fall plow toward the row. 
RED RASPBERRY 
BLACKBERRIES 
PLANTING. Set 3'/2 feet apart in row, with rows 7 feet 
apart, about 1,725 plants to the acre. Cultivate same as 
Black Raspberries. 
PRUNING. Same as Red Raspberries, but tips of canes may 
be cut off when about 30 inches high to make a stockier 
bush. Good yields for 5 to 6 seasons. 
YOUNGBERRY AND DEWBERRIES 
DEWBERRY CULTURE. Sandy soil is best for Dewberries. 
Plant in rows 6 feet apart with plants 3 feet apart in the 
row. 2400 plants per acre. In the North, train fruiting wood 
on stakes and wire each spring, trimming out and thinning 
the superfluous wood which is to produce fruit the cgming 
season. Mulch in late fall or winter. In the South it is not 
necessary to train on wire but th n out fruiting wood each 
spring and prune out all new growth once a month until after 
blooming time. Then have only sufficient new growth for next 
year's crop. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
PLANTING. Plants should be set about 3 feet apart in the 
row, with rows 6 feet apart, requiring 2,425 plants per acre. 
(Method suggested for setting Black Raspberries is all right 
for Red Raspberries). Plants yield good crops for four or 
five seasons. 
CULTIVATION. Same as for Black Raspberries. Thorough 
cultivation is necessary for keeping up moisture to insure 
good crops. 
PRUNING. Remove all old canes at close of picking sea¬ 
son and thin out the new growth. The new canes are not 
tipped back, but allowed to grow as they will. Proper thin¬ 
ning and spacing of new canes is important. Most varieties 
produce suckers freely from underground stems and if all are 
allowed to grow, the plants become crowded and the ground 
soon becomes covered with sucker plants. All suckers and 
weak canes should be cut out and if they are kept in hills not 
more than 5 to 7 of the best canes should be left in each hill 
to produce next season's crop. They are most commonly 
allowed to fill in the spaces between the original plants, 
forming a solid row or hedge. Hedge-rows should not be 
allowed to become more than 10 to 12 inches wide. All 
suckers which appear outside the limits of the row or hill 
should be destroyed by cultivation, or if necessary, chopped 
off with the hoe. No pruning back is necessary in the spring 
unless parts of the cane have been damaged by winter. 
Chief is an offspring of Latham, originated 
in Northern Minnesota where the temperature 
goes to 45 degrees below zero. In productive¬ 
ness it compares favorably with the heavy 
bearing Latham. 
The bushes are strong and sturdy, the foli¬ 
age is healthy, dark green. The berries are 
large, extra firm, do not crumble, are a beau¬ 
tiful bright red, and of the finest eating and 
canning qualities. 
Chief ripens ahead of other Rasp¬ 
berries, when the demand is at its 
best and top prices are assured.
