Zilke’s Certified Red Raspberries 
Two rigorous inspections are made by Michigan Department of Agriculture Plant 
Inspectors during the growing season. That is why our plant fields are kept disease 
free. Then at digging and grading time they are carefully inspected for root disease 
and final inspection when packed. 
TAYLOR 
Largest Red Raspberry 
Taylor is noteworthy for its large size, 
bright color, attractive appearance, and 
excellent quality of fruit. The berries are 
very large, being larger than Latham and 
slightly smaller than Newburgh. The size 
holds up well throughout a long season. 
Color is a bright, attractive medium red 
that has suited most growers who have 
seen the fruit. The rather refined ap¬ 
pearance of the berries, and the complete 
lack of crumbling add materially to their 
attractiveness. The thick flesh, rather 
small cavity, and the firmness inherited 
from Newman promise to make this variety 
a good shipper. The flavor is pleasing, 
sub-acid and the quality very good. Tay¬ 
lor ripens with Latham or a few days 
earlier. The plants are tall, vigorous, pro¬ 
duce heavy crops, and multiply rapidly 
The canes are sturdy and stand erect.

LATHAM 
Most Famous Red Raspberry 
Although this is a comparatively new 
variety it is entirely past the experimental 
stage, and we unhesitatingly recommend 
Latham as one of the very best Red Rasp¬ 
berries ever grown. This variety originated 
at the Minnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm and is being 
grown extensively in Minn¬ 
esota, the Dakotas, and Can¬ 
ada, and has never been 
known to winter-kill even 
though exposed to 45 degrees 
below zero. Latham is a tall, 
vigorous grower, canes extra 
heavy, foliage dark green, 
entirely free from disease. 
Berries much larger than 
, any other Red Raspberry, many of 
them one inch in diameter. It has 
been known that 70 berries have fill¬ 
ed a pint box. Color good, quality 
of the best, full Raspberry flavor. Ex¬ 
cellent for shipping or home use. 
INDIAN SUMMER 
Best Everbearing Red Raspberry 
This new everbearing red raspberry will 
bear two crops a year. One crop in the 
summer the same as any other variety, 
and another crop in the fall on the new 
wood. The autumn crop starts early in 
September and continues until a severe 
frost. The berries are large, roundish 
conic shaped and have a beautiful color. 
The plants are vigorous, about medium 
height, and bear heavy crops. Order at 
least 50 plants and have a good supply 
of fresh raspberries all fall.
