ANDREWS "Certified" LATHAM *** 
By sheer merit Andrews “Certified” Latham 
have become the most widely planted and the most 
popular Latham Raspberry Plants in the United 
States today. 
Andrews Latham are popular in the home gar' 
den because they are easy to grow and sure to 
bear, and because they give plenty of luscious red 
berries to eat and to can. 
They are popular with berry growers because 
they make money for them; they are a sure crop' 
per, a heavy cropper, and the fruit carries well to 
market and commands a premium. Prices on page

500 CRATES PER ACRE 
The “Minnesota Horticulturist” for January, 
1941, in an article discussing the increased rasp' 
berry planting in northern Minnesota, reported a 
yield of 500 crates per acre from the Latham fields 
of Chester M. Hjelmhaug of Polk County. Fig' 
ured at only a common price of $2.00 per crate, 
that would mean a return of $1,000.00 per acre. 
That’s more than many farmers get from 80 acres 
and it’s more net profit than many get from a 
quarter section. 
Good plants with good care give good profits. 
Chief, a seedling of Latham, 
ripens 10 to 12 days earlier 
than Latham. It is a very profitable berry for early 
market. In the western and northwestern parts of 
Minnesota and even up into Canada, Chief is doing 
exceptionally well, both as a home berry and as a 
commercial crop. Under such conditions, it is prov' 
ing out more profitable than Latham. Prices on

CHIEF **★ 
Professor Alderman says of 
Latham: “The Latham variety 
of red Raspberry not only is 
resistant to our winter condi¬ 
tions but is also one of the 
most productive Raspberries 
with which we are familiar. 
“Its attractive coloring and 
firmness give it such favorable 
appearance on the market that 
it ordinarily commands a pre¬ 
mium of fifty cents a case over 
and above the prices of the 
ordinary Raspberry. 
“I would say that our test 
plots of red Raspberries at 
the Minnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm have given con' 
elusive proof that Raspberry 
growing is profitable in this 
state. It is highly important 
to start with disease-free 
plants and follow up with 
suitable culture. Our test 
plots under such conditions 
yielded from 254 to 294 
24-pint crates per acre the 
third season after planting.” 
BOYSENBERRY 
Said to be a cross between the Logan' 
berry, raspberry and blackberry. A very 
large berry and very productive. It 
should be given protection in this nor' 
them section. Prices, page 30-D.
