LATHAM 
The Country’s Greatest Raspberry 
In 1909 (41 years ago) I grew my first raspberry. In 1914 I 
was growing a considerable acreage of them—Cuthbert, Minne- 
tonka Iron-Clads and others that have, for the northwest at least, 
gone the way of the one-horse shay. Shortly afterwards the 
University of Minnesota introduced the Minnesota No. 4. 
plant it and have been growing it in 
large quantities ever since. Long ago it was named Latham—and 
is still the finest raspberry 
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. 
were one of the first to 
Latham, to our way of thinking, 
known. Not only 
Latham is “tops” for the home garden or for the commer- 
It is of high quality, large, productive, and hardy. 
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 
cial grower. 
Berries frequently measure an inch across. 
brings top market price. 
For the one best raspberry we say plant LATHAM.

IAN SUMMER 
BEST EVERBEARING RED RASPBERRY 
This new two-crop or everbearing Red Raspberry was introduced by 
the New York Experiment Station several years ago, and has been well 
tried out, and proven a success, both as a one-crop bearer, and also as an 
everbearer. The fall crop is borne on the new growth. The fall crop will 
start in September and continue till frost late in the fall. Berries are large, 
conical shape, firm, few seeds, and sweet. Fine shipping quality. The plant 
is a husky grower, hardy, and resistant to common diseases. Bears mid- 
season to late fall. Extra select plants; 
$7.50; 100 for $13.00. 
If Raspberries or Blackberries are to go 
by mail, add 10c per 25 (or less).

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 qual- 
ity. Plants are vigorous and very pro- 
ductive. Probably the best for home 
and commercial plantings in the North.

Cumberland 
Black Raspberries 
Generally conceded to be the best of 
the “Black Caps.” A vigorous grower 
and heavy yielder of large, juicy ber- 
ries 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

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 are produced 
from the subsequent, 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, Hill 
Hedge 13 
Black Raspberries 3 
Blackberries 13 
Culture — Clean, through cultivation 
should start early in the spring and con- 
tinue until the latter part of August. Later 
cultivation may induce later growth and' 
resulting immaturity. Red raspberries 
should be restricted to 6 to 10 canes to the 
hill, or in the hedge row system to a spac- 
ing 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. Be- 
fore 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 system. 
DANNY SAYS: 
“The one best cellar” 
—That’s our modern, 
refrigerated storage 
cellar that keeps stock 
“in the pink” at all 
times—dormant, full of 
pep and ready to grow even long after 
the normal planting season. It has the 
most modern and scientific temperature 
controls. Expensive? Yes — but it’s 
worth it to be able to deliver the best 
stock in the Northwest.
