ANDREWS Better Raspberry Plants 
Two Million ‘‘Better Raspberry Plants’? Grown by Andrews 
These fields are grown exclusively for plants. Many growers dig only sucker plants 
from the sides of the row and leave the big plants in the field for their own fruiting. 
We dig the entire field, including the big husky plants in the center of the rows. 
You will be pleased with these strong, vigorous plants. You will get the very best 
that fertile soil, experienced, careful handling and rigid inspection can produce. We 
supply regularly many of the largest users in the country. 
Your Raspberry Succes 
Depends au the Quality 
Plants You Start with 
ANDREWS RASPBERRY PLANTS 
ARE A SAFE INVESTMENT 
You have good reason to select them and they will bear out your 
judgment. Briefly it is just this: 
1. You get plants grown by specialists. Beginning with the selection 
of the field on which to produce the plants and continuing through to 
the final packing out of the finished product, every operation has special 
care and attention. 
2. All plants are carefully inspected during the growing season— 
twice by our trained men, and twice by the State Nursery Inspection 
staff. These plants carry the State Certificate of double inspection. No 
fruiting canes are allowed in our fields—our method sacrifices fruit that 
we might otherwise harvest, but it produces better plants and it avoids 
diseases and pests that harbor in fruiting fields, infect the young canes 
and so are transmitted into the new plantation. 
3. These plants are grown on clean, fertile land. This is essential to 
the production of the best plants. Another factor is that we have the 
right kind of climate and soil to produce strong, well-matured stock. 
4. The fields are big and the rows are long. They are planted with 
a power machine—cultivated and dug with a power machine. A special 
digging device was designed to lift the plants without breakage or injury 
to the roots. This management and handling insures, at low cost, ex- 
cellent plants with root system impossible in “spade dug” plants from 
“fence corner” patches. 
HEALTHY STOCK ESSENTIAL 
The best planting stock obtainable 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 a reasonable price. It is folly to start with 
the handicap of a questionable foundation stock. 

ON YOUR RIGHT DECISION RESTS YOUR 
SUCCESS 























WHAT 
TYPE OF 
PLANT 
WILL YOU 
CHOOSE? 
Will it be the 
clean, well rooted, 
specially grown and 
machine dug plants 
like ours above, or 
will it be common 
“spade dug, fruit- 
ing row’ kind as 
indicated at the 
right. 
Will it be the 
kind that insures 
good stands and 
profitable crops, or 
will it be the uncer- 
tain “fence corner” 
kind that results in 
loss and discourage- 
ment? 
Common ‘‘fence corner’? plents spade dug along the 
fruiting rows. Note the difference in size of plants 
and amount of roots between these ‘‘common’’ plants 
and our machine dug plants above. 
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 
condition. No effort has been spared to produce No. 1 plants. Our 
climate and soil are ideal for developing vigor and good roots. The 
special machine used in digging these plants makes possible the excel- 
lent root system of our plants. Success with raspberries, as with any- 
thing else, depends on getting started on a sure foundation—that is, 
with clean, strong, vigorous, disease-free plants.
