“GIANT LATHAM 
BIGGEST MONEY-MAKING RASPBERRY 
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 is a 
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 24. 
NEW DURHAM 
NEW EARLY FALL EVERBEARING RED 
RASPBERRY 
The Durham Everbearing Red Raspberry is a new 
introduction of the University of New Hampshire, it is 
the earliest good fall bearer available today. The spring 
crop ripens about 10 days before Latham, after this crop 
is harvested the plants rest about two to three weeks 
then they start bearing again and continue until the 
freezing weather spoils the green berries still on the 
plants. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS NEW VA- 
RIETY FOR HOME USE AND ROADSIDE STANDS. 
We have fruited this variety for the past 3 years and 
we HONESTLY RECOMMEND IT FOR YOUR GAR- 
DENS, it fruits almost all summer. 
_ Our supply of plants is very limited, order imme- 
diately so you will not be disappointed. For prices see

~\ INDIAN SUMMER 
NEW EVERBEARING RED RASPBERRY 
Here is a distinctly new type of everbearer, unlike 
any older kind. “Marvelous” justiy 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 24. ir

PURPOSES. Williamette has an extra long fruiting sea- 
son. For prices see page 24.

f Quality of berry is excellent, canes hardy, prolific and thrifty 
in growth. Should be in every garden because of its beauty and high 
quality. For prices see page 24.
