McKAY’S Heavy ^Bearing Raspberries 
The McKay Heavy'Bearing Raspberry is the king of 
the small fruits, a fruit that should be planted by ah 
most everyone, essential in the small lot, and decidedly 
profitable for the commercial grower. Delicious when 
eaten raw and a top'heavy favorite for canning and 
preserves. 
Raspberries should be planted in 
rows five to seven feet apart and about 
jour feet apart in the row. A good 
loam soil is generally the best soil in 
which to plant them. The ground 
should be kept well cultivated and 
free from weeds. Most of the suckers 
should be kept cut out and old ones 
should be removed immediately after 
the bearing season. 
CHIEF. Originated at the Minnesota Fruit Breed¬ 
ing Farm. The plant is extremely vigorous and 
productive. The fruit matures a week earlier than 
Latham, and the berries are a trifle smaller. They 
are rich in quality, of an attractive red color, 
and are exceptionally firm, making it a good ship¬ 
ping berry. 
COLUMBIAN. (Purple.) It is a most vigorous 
grower, canes 6 to 10 feet in length; fruit very 
large; color dark r,ed bordering on purple; adhere 
firmly to the stem; seeds small, has a distinct fla¬ 
vor of its own, making it a most delicious table 
berry. For canning purposes it is much superior 
to any other. 
CUMBERLAND. Called the- “Business Black-Cap” 
because it succeeds on all soils and produces its 
big crop of fruit year after year. The berries are 
large, glossy black, of good quality, flavor and 
appearance. A good berry for either home use or 
market. 
CUTHBERT. (Red.) A strong grower and very 
productive; large, bright red, fruit firm, of good 
quality. Season medium to late. Generally not 
considered very hardy in Wisconsin. 
LATHAM (Minnesota No. 4). Originated at the 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. It is hardy, a 
strong grower and disease-resistant. The fruit is 
exceptionally large, often running an inch in diam¬ 
eter. Color a rich dark red, is juicy and has a 
flavor of the highest quality. Starts bearing about 
midseason and ripens over a long period. A very 
heavy bearer. The best commercial variety. The 
stock which we offer originally came from the 
originator so we can supply our customers with 
the genuine Latham. The Raspberry that has no 
equal for the North. 
Latham Raspberry 
NEWBURGH RASPBERRY. Introduced by the 
New York Experiment Station. The fruit is very 
large, very firm and does not crumble. The color 
is a bright, attractive red; in keeping and shipping 
quality it has no superior. The plants are vig¬ 
orous, hardy and very productive. The weight of 
the fruit is so great that the canes are often bent 
to the ground. It appears to be resistant to mo¬ 
saic. It is three or four days earlier than Latham 
in ripening. 
NEW LOGAN BLACK RASPBERRY. The Michi¬ 
gan Experiment Station claims it to be the most 
promising Black Raspberry ever tried there. New 
Logan ripens 10 days earlier than the Cumberland, 
the berries are larger and the yield heavier. It is 
disease-resistant and a good grower. The fact that 
it bears 10 days earlier makes it a certain money¬ 
maker for you. 
QUILLEN. An extra late Black Raspberry, which 
will extend the Raspberry fruiting season for a 
week or ten days. The fruit is glossy black, of 
very high quality, with tempting rich flavor. The 
plants are hardy, vigorous and very disease re¬ 
sistant. Remarkably fine grower, very productive. 
ST. REGIS. (Red.) This everbearing Red Rasp¬ 
berry bears the first season. The berries are large 
and beautiful, and full flavored to the very last. 
TAYLOR RASPBERRY. The New York Experi¬ 
ment Station introduced this new variety. The 
plants are unusually vigorous, hardy, productive, 
and tall growing. The sturdy canes hold the ber¬ 
ries well off the ground. The berries ripen shortly 
before Latham, are large, long conic, bright at¬ 
tractive red, thick fleshed, sub-acid and of excel¬ 
lent quality. Considered the best new Red Rasp¬ 
berry introduction since the Latham. 
Quillen 
Raspberry 
PLUM FARMER. (Black.) One of the newer 
varieties of Blackcaps. A vigorous grower and 
hardy. The fruit is large like the Cumberland 
but in appearance it has a grayish cast like the 
Gregg. It is earlier than either the Cumberland 
or Gregg.
