A solid 40 acres of La 
tham Raspberries set with Andrews ‘‘Certified’’ plants. 

823 24-pint crates of Latham were picked from this field in one day. 
ANDREWS PLANTS 
NATIONALLY KNOWN 
They are inspected several times 
each season by the State Nursery 
Inspector and have been pronounced 
“mosaic-free” and in excellent con- 
dition. No effort has been spared 
to produce No. 1 plants. Our cli 
mate and soil are ideal for develop- 
ing vigor and good roots. The spe- 
cial machine used in digging these 
plants makes possible the excellent 
root system of our plants. Success 
with Raspberries, as with anything 
else, depends on getting started on a 
-sure foundation—that is, with clean, 
strong, vigorous, disease-free plants. 
MAKE $500 PER ACRE 
An average yield from “CERTI- 
FIED” RED RASPBERRIES is 150 
24-pint crates per acre. Many fields 
yield 200 crates per acre, and ex- 
ceptionally good fields in good sea- 
sons go as high as 400 crates per 
acre. Prices vary with the locality 
and the season. From $2.00 to 
$3.00 a crate is considered a fair 
price. At only 200 crates per acre 
and at only $2.50 per crate, you 
would have an income of $500.00 
per acre. Many fields have greater 
records. Mr. Scheuneman of Ex- 
celsior reported a 400-crate yield 
on a 9-year-old planting. 
DISTANCE APART 
TO PLANT 
Hill System. Plant in hills 5 feet 
apart each way. Set two one-year 
plants, or one two-year plant per 
hill. This system requires 3,500 one- 
year plants or 1,750 two-year plants 
per acre. 
Hedge Row System. Set one-year 
plants two feet apart, or two-year 
plants three feet apart in rows six 
feet apart. This system requires 
3,600 one-year plants per acre, or 
2,400 two-year plants per acre.

EASY TO GROW 
Raspberries are not too particular 
as to soil and care. However, they 
well repay extra care and favorable 
location. They prefer light top soil 
and heavier subsoil. Elevation or a 
slope is better than a pocket. They 
like lots of humus in the soil. Forty 
loads of manure per acre are not too 
much. 
Complete instructions for plant- 
ing and care will accompany each 
order. 
SELECT VARIETY 
WISELY 
For your principal Raspberry sel- 
ect a variety known for hardiness 
and heavy cropping. You will not 
go wrong in selecting Latham. It 
does well over a wider range of cli- 
mate and soil than any other red 
Raspberry. However, it is well also 
to try some of the other newer va- 
rieties. Some of them may prove 
even better for your particular cir- 
cumstances. 
HEALTHY STOCK 
ESSENTIAL 
The best planting stock obtain- 
able is the cheapest. Sucker plants 
dug from a fruiting patch are dear 
at any price. Almost invariably they 
carry some pest or disease which 
infects the new planting and results 
in disappointment. The very best 
grade of clean, healthy, disease-free 
planting stock is available at less 
than 3c a plant. It is folly to start 
with the handicap of a questionable 
foundation stock. 
2-YR. PLANTS 
POPULAR 
The top grade, the two-year 
plants, are regarded by many as the 
most economical to set. Only one 
plant per hill is needed when you 
use the two-year stock. These two- 
year plants are heavier rooted, and 
able to send up more fruiting canes 
for the succeeding year. They in- 
variably pay for themselves before 
the one-year stock does.

PLANT OUR 
"2-YEAR HEAVY” 
and GAIN A YEAR 
Our ‘‘2-year Heavy”’ 
Raspberries are especially 
large, well-rooted plants. 
The plants are grown one 
year then cut back to the 
ground and grown one year 
more. This method develops 
exceptionally strong plants 
with a 2-year-old root and 
l1-year-old top. These have 
a wonderful root system, 
and give quick results and 
satisfaction. 
Andrews ‘‘Certified’? Latham were used in the two 
fruiting fields pictured above.
