THE DANIELS NURSERY 
LATHAM 
The Country’s Greatest 
Raspberry 
In 1909 (37 years ago) I grew my 
first raspberry. In 1914 I was grow- 
ing a considerable acreage of them 
—Cuthbert, Minnet6nka 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 
garden or for” the commercial grow- 
er. It is of high quality, large, pro- 
ductive, and hardy. Berries fre- 
quently measure an inch across. 
Yields of 200 to 400 crates per acre 
are not uncommon, and higher yields 
have been reported. It is a good 
shipper, it is a good canner, and it. 
always brings top market price. 
For the one best raspberry we say 
plant LATHAM. 
Better order early, though.

How to Grow Raspberries 
and Blackberries 
The canes of these brambles 
live only two years. Each year 
new canes grow up from the 
ground produce their crop of 
fruit in the second year of their 
life and then die; later crops 
—e —.are produced from the subse- 
quent, annually produced new canes. 
Planting—The brambles may be planted in 
either spring or fall. They should be set 1 to 2 
inches deeper than they originally grew and 
after planting the canes should be cut to a 
stump of from 2 to 4 inches in height. Fall-set 
plants should be mounded up with dirt, and 
each mound lightly mulched with manure or 
other material. 
Planting Distances— 
Red Raspberries, Ful 4by 6or5 by 5 ft. 
edge 13 to3 by 6 to 7 ft. 
3 to 4 by 6 to 7 ft. 
13 to 3 by 7 ft. 
Culture—Clean, thorough cultivation should 
start early in the spring and continue until the 
latter part of August. Later cultivation may 
induce later growth and resulting immaturity. 
Black Raspberries 
Blackberries 
Red raspberries should be restricted to 6 to 10 
canes to the hill, or in the hedge row system to 
a spacing of 6 to 8 inches apart in rows not over 
10 inches wide. After each fruiting season the 
old canes (those which have borne) should be 
removed at the ground line. Before growth 
starts in the spring all weak and surplus canes 
should be removed at the ground and those 
remaining headed back somewhat—the amount 
depending upon the training and support sys- 
tem. 
Raspberries fit in to even small properties as 
even a small area devoted to them can be highly 
productive. They may also be used as an effec- 
tive hedge at the rear or side of a property— 
as a separation between the ornamental and 
vegetable areas of a garden—or as a hedge 
bounding or surrounding the vegetable garden. 






DANNY SAYS: 
Don’t plant rubbish! Put 
it where it belongs. Put 
Daniels State Certified 
Mosaic Free Raspberries in 
your garden soil and throw 
diseased plants in the rub- 
bish can.
