Raspberry Bushes (Extra Heavy) 
CHIEF. The fruit, medium in size, bright red, firm. 
Ripens early and extends over a long period. Quality 
of fruit is excellent. The plants are vigorous in growth, 
perfectly hardy and seem to be resistant to mildew and 
mosaic. The wood ripens early and is a good plant 
maker. Chief has the good qualities looked for in a 
raspberry; earliness, quality of fruit, and yield. Heavy 
plants. Doz., $2.85; 25, $4.50; 100, $13.75. 
LATHAM. (Minn. No. 4.) That great Minnesota Intro- 
duction—holds unchallenged first place as the leadin 
commercial and home variety of Red Raspberry. It is 
hardy everywhere, bushes are sturdy, upright, and vigor- 
ous, particularly resistant to disease of all kinds. The 
fruit is very large, dark red, and firm. Latham is an 
excellent shipper, heavy yielder, easy picker. It has the 
qualities that make it the leading Red Raspberry. Heavy 
plants. Doz., $2.85; 25, $4.50; -100, $13.75. 
NEWSBURGH. Newburgh is an extremely promising 
variety and in our own planting has shown up excep- 
tionally well alongside of Chief and Latham, It is our 
experience that they are a very heavy yielder. The ber- 
ries are very large, firm, and of rather dry texture, which 
makes Newburgh highly desirable as a commercial berry. 
The fruit holds its color very well which makes it pos- 
sible to hold it over or leave without picking for two or 
three days without injury. The season is about the 
same as Latham. Doz., $2.85; 25, $4.50; 100, $13.75. 
Currant Bushes 
RED LAKE. This new currant was originated by the 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm, and promises to replace 
all other varieties in the cherry currant class. The 
berry is very large and is borne on long stems forming 
exceptionally long, well filled bunches. The quality of 
fruit is very good, the ripening season is medium, and 
the plant a heavy yielder. While this variety produces 
large berries on long bunches, its most valuable quality 
is the sturdy upright type of bush. This character is 
lacking in many of the older varieties. Because of the 
above qualities, Red Lake is the leading currant today. 
Each, 70c; 5 for $3.00; 10 for $5.50. 
Blackberry Bushes 
ALFRED. A comparatively new blackberry that has 
given good results wherever planted. Immense sized ber- 
ries, practically coreless, heavy producers and very hardy. 
Worthy new commercial variety, ripens over a long

should be worked up at least 12 inches deep and a Very 
heavy application of well-rotted manure or commercial 
fertilizer should be given. Make furrows ten inches deep 
and spread roots 18 inches apart in row and cover with 
two inches of soil, gradually filling as shoots appear 
until surface is level. Do not cut any later than June 
20th until the third or fourth year.
