eavy-Bearing Raspberries 
mE 
The McKay Heavy-Bearing Raspberry is sa 
the King of the small fruits, a fruit that should ’ 
be planted by almost everyone, essential in the 
small lot, and decidedly profitable for the com- 
mercial grower. Delicious when eaten raw and 
a top-heavy favorite for canning and pre- 
serves. 
Raspberries should be planted in 
rows 5 to 7 feet apart and about 4 feet 
apart in the row. A good loam soil is 
generally the best soil in which to 
plant them. The ground should be kept 
well cultivated and free from weeds. 
Most of the suckers should be kept cut 
out and old canes should be removed 
immediately after the bearing season. 
RED 
INDIAN SUMMER. A (fall-bearing or so-called 
everbearing Red Raspberry bearing 2 crops of 
fruit. The summer crop ripens early (before the 
regular varieties). The autumn crop starts early in 
September and continues until heavy frost. The 
berries are large, conical in shape, medium red, 
rather soft, crumble slightly. The fall crops, 
which you want the most, are heavier than the 
earlier ones.

RED—Continued 
SUNRISE. An early Raspberry ripening a week 
BLACK 
LATHAM. Originated at the Minnesota Fruit 
Breeding Farm. It is hardy, a strong grower and 
disease resistant. The fruit is exceptionally large, 
often running an inch in diameter. Color a rich 
dark red, is juicy and has a flavor of the highest 
quality. Starts bearing about midseason and 
ripens over a long period. A very heavy bearer. 
The best commercial variety. The stock which we 
offer originally came from the originator so we 
can supply our customers with the genuine Lath- 
am. The Raspberry that has no equal for the 
North. See picture above. 
TAYLOR. The New York Experiment Station 
introduced this new variety. The plants are un- 
usually vigorous, hardy, productive, and _ tall 
growing. The sturdy canes hold the berries well 
off the ground. The berries ripen shortly before 
Latham, are large, long conic, bright attractive 
red, thick fleshed, sub-acid and of excellent qual- 
ity. Considered the best new Red Raspberry 
introduction since 
the Latham. 
earlier than the standard varieties. The berries 
are a bright red color and medium to large in 
size. They are firm, fine textured, juicy, non- 
crumbly, and of the highest quality. The plants 
seem to be very disease resistant and extremely 
hardy; which, added to their earliness and high 
quality of fruit, should make them the coming 
Raspberry. See picture below. 
PURPLE 
SODUS. Very large berries; medium purple in 
color, sprightly and of good quality; exceptionally 
good for canning. The plants are very vigorous, 
very productive and hardy. It yields a good 
crop every year, being quite resistant to drought. 
Ripens shortly after the Red Raspberries. Com- 
ing from the New York Experiment Station, it 
seems to be the most promising Purple Rasp- 
berry we have ever been able to offer our trade. 
Hardy in southern and central Wisconsin.

CUMBERLAND. The ‘‘Business Black Cap’’ be- 
cause it succeeds on all soils and produces its 
big crop of fruit year after year. The berries are 
large, glossy black, of good quality, flavor and 
appearance. A good berry for either home use or 
market. Midseason. 
~ NEW LOGAN. The Michigan Experiment Station 
claims it to be the most promising Black Rasp- 
berry ever tried there. New Logan ripens 10 
days earlier than the Cumberland, the berries are 
larger and the yield heavier. It is disease resistant 
and a good grower. The fact that it ripens 10 days 
earlier makes it a certain money-maker for you.
