LATHAM 
Latham is free from insects and diseases and multi- 
plies rapidly. In the Northwest, the great berry-growing 
section of America, growers are quite enthusiastic over 
Latham and are planting it heavily each year. The 
most popular midseason to late red Raspberry grown 
today. Very hardy; cold weather seems to have no 
effect on its bearing ability. Large size, fine color; start 
ripening in midseason and continue an unbelievably 
long time. Plants are vigorous growers; mosaic free. 
INDIAN SUMMER 
Giant Red Everbearer 
The best everbearing red Raspberry. Earliest to 
ripen; bears a full crop in June and an immense crop. 
in the fall. A sensation because of its size, flavor, and 
unusual beauty. Wonderful keeping qualities. Berries 
are glossy red, conical in shape, and of extra large 
size. The greatest all-purpose Raspberry. The fall 
crops, when Raspberries are scarce and therefore 
highly priced, are heavier than the earlier ones.

How to Grow Raspberries Successfully 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS—RED RASPBERRIES 
Two methods of culture are commonly used, the hill system and the solid row system. 
Under the first system plants are usually set five feet apart each way while under the 
second system they are set three feet apart in rows seven feet apart. Place plants in 
hole or furrow, spread roots, fill to ground level, and press soil firmly. After planting, 
cut all canes back to 2 to 3 inches above the ground level. The following spring, before 
growth starts, prune canes back to a length of about three feet. After fruiting season, 
cut out all fruiting canes and burn them to destroy any disease or insects. Future year's 
growth should be confined to six or eight strong canes to each plant, following same 
procedure year after year. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS—BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Two methods of culture are commonly used, the hill system and the solid row system. 
Under the first system plants are usually set six feet apart each way while under the 
second system they are set four feet apart in rows seven feet apart. Place plants in 
hole or furrow; spread roots, fill to ground level, and press soil firmly. After planting 
cut all canes back to two or three inches above the ground level. When new growth 
starts and has attained a height of 18 to 24 inches, it is best to pinch the tips of the 
canes which causes each cane to throw off branches and grow upright. All lateral 
branches should be cut back severely, leaving from 6 to 8 inches of cane. Weak spind- 
ling canes are cut out entirely. The following spring before growth starts, prune canes 
back to a length of about 3 feet. Cultivate Raspberries shallow during entire season 
but do not continue beyond picking season, as late growth will not mature sufficiently 
to withstand the winter.
