GIANT LATHAM 
BIGGEST MONEY-MAKING RASPBERRY IN 
AMERICA 
The sensational yields of this variety have attracted 
the attention of growers everywhere, and all those who 
have given it a trial are praising the many unusual fea- 
tures they have found in Latham. After thoroughly test- 
ing Latham we find it a remarkble variety in every 
respect; you will be both delighted and surprised after 
giving it a trial. 
Tremendously Productive; Large Berries. Latham isa 
tall, vigorous grower, the canes are extra heavy, well 
able to support the load of fruit. The foliage is healthy, 
dark green, tough and leathery, highly resistant to in- 
sects. Covers a longer fruiting season. The berries are 
beauties and will cause a sensation wherever they are 
shown. Many are over an inch in diameter and they 
hold this size to the end of the season. Color is dark rich 
red. For prices see page 22. 
\ SUNRISE 
THE EARLIEST RED RASPBERRY 
If you are a commercial planter, test them liberally— 
Sunrise ripens so extremely early that you will get 
berries on the market days ahead of other varieties. It 
is especially hardy, having an unusual ability to with- 
stand low temperatures without injury. It has proven 
even more resistant than Latham to anthracnose, leaf 
spot and spur blight. The color is bright, but turns 
dark red upon ripening, the berries pick easily. They 
are firm, fine textured, juicy non-crumbly with a good 
raspberry aroma, and of excellent quality and flavor. 
The greatest value of Sunrise is its earliness. This to- 
gether with its long season, makes Sunrise the ideal 
Red Raspberry. For prices see page 22.

\ INDIAN SUMMER 
NEW EVERBEARING RED RASPBERRY > 
Here is a distinctly new type of everbearer, unlike 
any older kind. “Marvelous” justly describes Indian 
Summer. The quantity, size and quality of the berries 
it produces in September, October and November are 
truly marvelous because they are so far superior to any 
other everbearer. With such a berry you can make 
worth-while profits from the high prices always paid 
for off-season fruit. You get a good early crop in the 
regular season, too. 
We Recommend This Everbearer 
Berries are uniform, rich red, thimble-shaped, large 
and juicy; flavor a true, tart, delicious raspberry. St. 
Regis berries are small and poor by comparison. A 
thrifty grower and heavy producer. Another N. Y. 
Station berry. You have never seen any fall berries as 
good in every way as INDIAN SUMMER. 
Be Sure To Plant This Spring 
A full-sized, heavy-bearing, fine quality, real red 
raspberry that bears in September, October and Novem- 
ber. Makes money because its big fall crop of fine fruit 
can be depended on for high out-of-season prices. For 
prices see page 22.

PURPOSES. Williamette has an extra long fruiting sea- 
son. For prices see page 22.

quality. For prices see page 22.
