A solid 40 acres of Latham raspberries set with Andrews ‘‘Certified’’ plants. 
823 24-pint crates of Latham were picked from this field in one day. 
MAKE $800 PER ACRE 
An average yield from “CERTIFIED” RED 
RASPBERRIES is 150 24-pint crates per acre. Many 
fields yield 200 crates per acre, and exceptionally 
good fields in good seasons go as high as 400 crates 
per acre. Prices vary with the locality and the season. 
From $4.00 to $6.00 a crate is considered a fair price. 
At only 200 crates per acre and at only $4.00 per 
crate, you would have an income of $800.00 per acre. 
Many fields have greater records. Mr. Scheuneman 
of Excelsior reported a 400-crate yield on a 9-year-old 
planting.

“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 
l-year-old top. These have a wonderful 
root system, and give quick results and 
satisfaction.

BLACKBERRIES and BOYSENBERRIES 
NEW LOWDEN BLACKBERRY 
This new blackberry was originated in Canada by Mr. Edward Lowden, and all 
reports indicate it is a decided improvement over older sorts. Mr. Lowden, writing 
August 18, 1938, reported that he had just finished harvesting the finest crop of the 
New Lowden Blackberries he had ever grown and that they had sold at prices 
approximately 50 per cent higher than the prices brought by blackberries of any 
other sorts. 
The general growth, cane and foliage, of Lowden closely resembles Eldorado. The 
berries are excellent quality, fully as good, if not better, than Eldorado. It ripens 
at about the same time, but is more dependable and heavier yielding. 
The outstanding features of Lowden over other sorts including Alfred, is its prolific 
fruiting and hardiness. Supply of plants limited this year. Prices, page 30-E. 
ALFRED BLACKBERRY 
The large, jet-black berries are sweet and juicy, and are often 114 inches long. 
It is called the coreless blackberry. For best results in the north we recommend 
winter protection. It is about a week to 10 days earlier than Eldorado and more 
productive. Price, page 30-D.
