Toms Red Raspberry 
(Plant Patent 779) 
BRISTOL BLACK RASPBERRY 
A 94 We believe this new variety, Bristol, is the best midseason black raspberry, especially 
for soils which are a little thin and not as rich as they should be. It will produce where the 
other varieties will not. Also it succeeds over a very wide territory. Favorable reports come 
from every section where black raspberries are grown. Mr. Hirschi, the eminent horticul- 
turist of Oklahoma, reports that it is the best black raspberry and does well that far south 
where other kinds are almost failures. The berries are large, firm, glossy jet-black, almost 
seedless. They are not only sweet and juicy but have an unusually rich black raspberry 
flavor. Very good for eating fresh and for sauce, jam, juice and freezing. Set out a liberal 
patch. Fresh, home-grown berries are so much better. Grow them instead of buying the 
fruit. The larger plants will give you some fruit THIS SUMMER and each year after, the 
crop will get better for years.

Raspberries are easy to grow. Set them 3 to 
4 feet apart in the row and rows 6 to7 feet 
apart. You can plant a row across the back 
of your garden. Our Planting Guide, sent 
with all orders, gives you easy-to-follow 
instructions about taking care of them. If 
you make a mulch of lawn rakings or a 
mixture of straw and leaves and put 
around the plants in the 
spring, you will have al- 
most no weeding and hoe- 
ing to do and besides this 
mulch helps hold moisture 
so the plants produce bet- 
ter. They do fine in part 
shade, especially after- 
noon shade.

“Tomas Red 
THE NEW RED RASPBERRY 
A 90 TOMS RED is a new red raspberry 
originated by Mr. Lawrence Toms, Nevada, 
Iowa. It is a cross of a black raspberry and 
Latham, a red variety. This is the first time 
that such a cross has ever resulted in true red 
colored fruit. All such crosses have always 
resulted in purplish-red fruit. Mr. Toms 
noticed that this new hybrid of his was ex- 
tremely disease-resistant and an extremely 
heavy producer. The canes grow only 3 to 4 
feet tall but they have many fruiting branches 
along the canes. The fruit is a bright red color, 
firm and cannot be picked green because it 
does not loosen until ripe. It is not quite as 
large as Latham but is better quality and a 
much heavier bearer. It is ideal for home use 
because it does not all ripen in just a few 
days but ripens over a period of a month to 
six weeks, from early July to mid-August. 
Toms Red is a new variety so we do not 
know how good it really is until it has been 
planted and fruited in many different places. 
It may well prove to be the finest of them all. 
You plant some and if they should not be 
satisfactory you may select from our catalog, 
without cost, whatever you want equal to 
what you paid us for the Toms Red plants. 
The government patent office judged it dif- 
ferent enough to be worthy of a patent. We 
like it so well that we bought the exclusive 
rights and ownership from Mr. Toms. Plant 
some at our risk and it will not be long until 
you yourself will know what a wonderful 
flavor they have and how heavily it bears.
