GREENING'S SMALL FRUITS 
Latham Raspberry 
Raspberries 
Red and Purple Varieties 
CHIEF— This variety is an offspring of the famous 
Latham raspberry. This is the new early ripening 
red raspberry of the Latham type. The Chief 
ripens about ten days earlier than Latham, 
bridging the gap between strawberries and 
other raspberry varieties. Remarkable root de¬ 
velopment. By planting both Chief and Latham 
varieties the grower can extend his season of 
revenue. 
COLUMBIAN —Color dull purplish-red. Bush is 
a strong grower, attaining a very large size. 
Good variety for home use but not recommend¬ 
ed for commercial planting. Should be planted 
two feet farther apart than any other variety. 
CUTHBERT —A remarkably strong, hardy variety,- 
stands the northern Winters and southern 
Summers. Berries very large, conical, rich crim¬ 
son, very handsome and so firm they can be 
shipped hundreds of miles by rail in good con¬ 
dition,- Ravor is sweet, rich and luscious. 
LATHAM —The Latham raspberry is undoubted¬ 
ly one of the biggest money-makers of all rasp¬ 
berries. It is one of the finest looking red rasp¬ 
berries on the market and produces tremendous 
crops. An extremely large berry, some measur¬ 
ing an inch in diameter. The color is attractive 
dark red and the quality is the very finest. In an 
official test conducted by the Connecticut 
Agricultural College under the supervision of 
W. H. Darrow, fruit specialist, the Latham pro¬ 
duced 1782 quarts more per acre than the best 
of other varieties tested with it. In this test the 
Latham variety produced 5430 quarts of fine 
luscious red raspberries per acre. Our Latham 
plants are the finest that can be obtained and 
are absolutely disease free.

duced by New York Experiment Station. Heavy

Strawberries 
There are hundreds of varieties of strawberries, 
and most of them are good, with favorable condi¬ 
tions. Conforming with our policy of careful 
selection, we have chosen only the best varieties 
that will Rourish almost anywhere. Perfect Rower- 
ing varieties planted alone will mature a crop of 
fruit. Imperfect varieties should have perfect var¬ 
ieties planted with them—at least one row of 
perfects for every two rows of imperfects, to 
furnish pollen. We indicate after each variety 
(Per.) for perfect varieties and (Imp.) for imperfect.
