Red Raspberries 
Red Raspberries will do equally 
well on light or heavy soil; how- 
ever it should be well drained. For 
field culture, Red Raspberries 
should be planted about 3 _ feet 
apart in the row, with the rows 7 
feet apart, requiring about 2000 
plants per acre. In the spring, all 
canes should be cut back to about 
3 feet and branches trimmed to 
about 6 inches. Six or seven good strong canes are 
sufficient to a bush, and the berries will be higher 
in quality. 





LATHAM—Although a comparatively new variety, 
it is entirely past the experimental stage, and we 
unhesitatingly recommend it as one of the best 
Raspberries ever grown. It was originated in Min- 
nesota, and has never been ‘known to winter-kill 
even though exposed to 45 degrees below zero. The sensational 
yields of this variety have attracted the attention of growers every- 
where, and everyone who has given. it a trial is praising the many 
unusual features found in Latham, It is a tall, vigorous grower; the 
canes are extra heavy, well able to support the tremendous load) of 
fruit. The foliage is a healthy, dark green, tough and leathery, highly resistant to insects. Rip- 
ens about the same time as Cuthbert and covers a longer fruiting season than any other Rasp- 
berry. Color a dark rich red; quality of the best, with full Raspberry flavor. 
LATHAM 
CHIEF—A seedling of Latham and has turned out to be by far the finest early Red for general 
planting. The fruit is not quite as large as Latham but is brighter red, very firm and a tre- 
mendously heavy yielder, producing 20 per cent more than Latham in the Minnesota, test plots. The 
Chief is practically immune from mosaic and mildew and is even hardier and of better flavor than 
Latham, Raspberry growers have long looked for a good early Red Raspberry. They have tried 
King, Miller, Early June, etc., and although fairly good in many respects they have not been very 
profitable. It now looks as though the new Chief is going to meet most of the requirements and 
become the greatest money-maker of them all—ripening 10 days before Latham, firmer, same good 
color, fine flavor and a heavy yielder. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Black Raspberries should be planted on a rather high soil for best results. Gravelly and loamy 
soils are best. They are planted about 3 feet in the row, rows being from 6 to 7 feet apart. The 
young shoots each year are tipped or cut off when about 24 inches high, and the laterals are trim- 
med to about 6 or 8 inches in length the following spring. Leave about five good, strong shoots 
per bush. 
CUMBERLAND—Without question the most profitable and popular Black Raspberry grown; the 
one safe and reliable commercia] variety, because you can depend on a big paying crop regularly. 
We call it the “Business Blackcap” because it succeeds everywhere—light or heavy soils — East, 
West, North or South—wherever you find Raspberries grown, this is the leading black variety, and 
it never fails to produce its customary big’ crop every year, It is perfectly hardy, tremendously pro- 
ductive, the bushes are vigorous, upright, strong and healthy. Berries extra large, glossy black, not 
equalled by any other variety in quality, flavor and appearance. It’s good to eat and good to sell. 
PLUM FARMER—TIs very popular with many growers on account of its earliness, and ability 
to mature its customary big yield in a very short time, usually from 12: to 16 days. The plants are 
healthy, canes strong growers. Produces plenty of bearing wood which insures a heavy crop of 
fruit. The berries, which are produced in clusters, are large, well colored and of first quality. 
Plum Farmer will give satisfaction everywhere. Ripens nearly a week earlier than Cumberland and 
can be worked in nicely with that variety. 
THE NEW LOGAN—The most dependable early black Raspberry. Ripens one week earlier than 
Cumberland, Berries are extremely large, delicious, and the pickings from, first to last are of uni- 
formly high quality. New Logan holds up well through drought, and is highly disease-resistant. 
Free from seediness and qa tendency to crumble.
