The Country’s Greatest 
Raspberry 
In 1909 (36 years ago) I grew my 
first raspberry. In 1914 I was grow- 
ing a considerable acreage of them 
—Cuthbert, Minnetonka Iron-Clads 
and others that have, for the north- 
west at least, gone the way of the 
one-horse shay. Shortly afterwards 
the University of Minnesota intro- 
duced the Minnesota No. 4. We were 
one of the first to plant it and have 
been growing it in large quantities 
ever since. Long ago it was named 
Latham—and Latham, to our way of 
thinking, is still the finest raspberry 
known. Not only in Minnesota, but 
in the entire fruit growing sections 
east of the Rockies, more Lathams 
are grown than all other varieties of 
red raspberries put together. 
Latham is ‘‘tops” for the home 
250 garden or for the commercial grow- 
$19.00 er. It is of high quality, large, pro-

Yields of 200 to 400 crates per acre 
are not uncommon, and higher yields 
frequently called ‘‘2 year bearing age’”’ in some catalogs.) have been reported. It is a good

Black Raspberries 
Generally conceded to be the best of 
the “Black Caps.” A vigorous grower 
and heavy yielder of large, juicy berries 
of the highest quality. Has stood the 
test of time. Most widely planted of all 
black raspberries. We offer strong two- 
year transplants at 12 for $3.75; 25 for 
$5.90; 50 for $10.25; 100 for $17.65. 
Snyder Blackberries 
The extreme popularity of this splen- 
did blackberry is well deserved for it 
is not only the hardiest of the better 
blackberries but it is the best in quality. 
Plants are vigorous and very produc- 
tive. Probably the best for home and 
commercial plantings in the North. 12 
for $2.75; 25 for $4.00; 50 for $7.50; 100 
for $14.00. 
If Raspberries or Blackberries are to 
go by mail, add 10c per 25 (or less).

always brings top market price.

plant LATHAM. 
Better order early, though. 
Training System—The ‘‘narrow mat” row 
system of culture is generally the best for 
both home and commercial growers. The 
most satisfactory production is usually ob- 
tained where the runner plants are kept 
spaced at least five to six inches apart and 
where the width of the row is limited to 
approximately eighteen to twenty-four 
inches. Plants formed beyond these limi- 
tations are ‘‘weeds” in effect and should be 
eliminated. Probably the most widely used 
planting distances are as follows: Ever- 
bearers, 15 to 18 inches apart, rows 3 to 33 
feet apart; Junebearers, 18 to 24 inches 
apart, rows 4 feet apart. In small areas 
where hand culture methods are used, 
these planting distances may be consider- 
ably reduced to meet the limitations of the 
garden size. 
Culture—Thorough, shallow, frequent 
cultivation should be started as soon as 
planting is completed and be continued 
until late September or early October. All 
blossoms should be removed from the June- 
bearing varieties the first year and from 
the everbearing varieties until the early 
part of July. 
Winter Protection—All strawberries 
should be carefully covered for the winter 
with straw, marsh hay or:similar material. 
Leaves and other materials which pack 
tightly should be used only if some more 
open covering is not available. The cover- 
ing should be put on before severe ground 
freezing occurs. An even scattering of 
material 2 or 3 inches deep over both plants 
and aisles should be ample. In any event 
the plant should be completely covered and 
perhaps a little more added for good 
measure.
