Registered Plants Kept 
Grower in Business 
W. W. Trowbridge, Painesville, Ohio, says, ‘In 
1929 I was ready to quit raising blackcaps and 
was actually looking for some crop to take their 
place. Then I bought my first Registered plants. 
Now after 7 years with Registered plants, I feel 
that by providing proper isolation from other 
brambles and frequent, thorough rogueing of dis- 
eased plants, if they appear, I can keep a rasp- 
berry planting in a profitable condition for as long 
a time as I can keep the soil in condition to grow 
a crop. My oldest planting set in 1931 is still 
92 per cent of a full stand. My yield in 1935 on 
4.1 acres averaged 83.7 bushels per acre. A bad 
wind storm just before harvest caused the loss of 
an estimated additional 15 bushels per acre.”

Our order came through in fine shape. I never saw

What Are Registered Plants? 
Registered Raspberry plants are extraordinarily 
free from disease; they are strong and vigorous and 
true to name. They are grown only by the Ohio 
Small Fruit Improvement Association. Registered 
plants are produced under regulations which allow 
not more than one per cent of virus disease and not 
more than one-fourth per cent of galled plants in the 
parent plantings. 
What Can Be Expected of 
Registered Plants? 
Given proper isolation from outside disease sources 
and proper cultural care, Registered plants will pro- 
duce for you a healthy, high yielding, profitable rasp- 
berry plantation for a long period of years. Losses 
from the virus diseases and from gall will be negli- 
gible. Yield records taken in many plantings from 
registered and unregistered stock have proved this. 
Look at the yield records. Various Ohio Experiment 
Station publications and those of other states em- 
phasize the value of setting only disease-free plants.

How to Handle Your Plants 
In packing and shipping registered plants we take 
every care so that they will arrive in good condition. 
When you receive plants which have been shipped, 
you should immediately unpack. Set plants to the 
field as_soon as possible. Delay may result in poor 
stands. If your ground is not ready the plants should 
be stored in a cool place, but not where the roots 
will freeze. The roots of the plants should be kept 
from drying out, but too much moisture will lead to 
molding. If the plants are “heeled in” the bunches 
should be opened so that moist earth will be in con- 
tact with all of the roots.
