_ Weare located at the top of Wisconsin, about 100 rods 
from the shore of Lake Superior. Cold damp winds from 
the lake, and a heavy blanket of snow protect our 
plants from frost in the early spring. They are often 
dormant as late as May 10, although ready to dig in 
early April. 
The following varieties will be ready for Spring de- 
livery April 10 to June 30. 
RASPBERRIES 
S Latham—Most popular for home and market. Large 
dark red berries with small seeds. Withstands severe 
cold. Our stand of Latham is the best we have ever 
grown. 
x 
“ June—About 10 days earlier than Latham. Eerries 
are large and of good flavor. Highly recommended by 
our Department of Agriculture. 
~\ Ontario—Very similar to the June. 
\ 
* Sunrise—About 10 days earlier than Latham. Berries 
are smaller but of excellent flavor. Plants are also 
smaller. 
~ Viking—Mid-season. Berries are large, cone shaped, 
and very good for both home and market uses. Does 
very well up here in the North, but is subject to winter 
damage in the southern and central counties. 
The above varieties are all sold as two-year planis, 
that will bear this season. We find it very important to 
pick out a well-drained plot of ground for raspberry 
planting. Should the roots remain under ground water 
level, a few days, at any season of the year, it may 
cause permanent damage to the plants. Care should 
be taken not to set the plants too deep. New shoots 
smother easily. Just enough soil to cover top roots. We 
set our plants about sixteen inches apart in the row 
that points in the direction that the heavy snow and 
sleetstorms come from. 
As soon as all of the leaf buds have started to grow, 
we nip off all but the four strongest buds on each 
cane. More than four branches seems to weaken the 
new shoots and produces small fruit. Your county agri- 
cultural agent will gladly give you expert advice on 
spray schedules for insect and weed control.
