Thrifty Home Owners Plant Andrews Latham 
Why pay 25c or 30c a pint for raspberries at the grocer’s when fresher 
berries can be grown so easily and cheaply at home. It’s thrifty to “grow your 
own” Raspberries-—to have all you want fresh or to can. There is great satis- 
faction, too, in eating berries of your own growing, picked fresh for each 
meal. You have no waste or shrinkage, and you get the full delicious flavor.

Successful Fruit Growers Plant Andrews Latham 
Because Latham is one of the.most profitable Raspberries in dollars and 
cents, it has become the most widely planted and the most popular-red rasp- 
berry in the United States today. It is a sure cropper and a heavy cropper. 
The fruit carries well to market and commands a premium. To get these out- 
standing results, it is, of course, essential to plant the Genuine Latham (Red- 
path Strain) and to secure healthy, ““mosaic-free” stock. 
Easy to Grow—Early to Bear 
Latham does not require expert attention. The plants are vigorous and 
bear abundantly. A good patch of Latham will last for years. Under good 
standard practice, they will give substantial pickings the second season.

the increased Raspberry planting in northern Minnesota, reported a yield of 
500 crates per acre from the Latham fields of Chester M. Hjelmhaug of Polk 
County. Figured at only the low price of $4.00 per crate, that would mean 
a return of $2,000.00 per acre. That’s more than many farmers get from 80 
acres of other crops and it’s more net profit than many get from a quarter 
section.

Prof. Alderman Says of Latham: 
“Its attractive coloring and firmness give it 
such favorable appearance on the market that 
it ordinarily commands a premium of fifty cents 
a case over and above the prices of the ordinary 
Raspberry. I would say that our test plots of 
red Raspberries at the Minnesota 
State Fruit Breeding Farm have 
given conclusive proof that 
Raspberry growing is profit- 
able in this state. It 
is highly important 
to start with disease- 
free plants and fol- 
low up with suitable 
culture. Our test 
plots under such con- 
ditions yield- 
ed 254 to 
294 24-pint 
crates per 
acre the third 
seasoon after 
planting.”
