We are 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 and 
fall delivery April 10 to June 30, Oct. 15 to Nov. 30. 
RASPBERRIES 
Latham (late season) — Most popular for home and 
market. Large dark red berries with small seeds. With- 
stands severe cold. 
Viking (mid season) — Berries are large, cone shaped, 
good flavor. They are very good for both home and 
market. The Viking does very well here in Bayfield 
county, but is reported to be more subject to winter 
damage in the southern counties of the state. 
June (early) — About ten days earlier than the 
Latham. Berries are large, and of good flavor. Highly 
recommended as an early berry by our Department of 
Agriculture, 
Ontario — Very similar to the June. 
September (very early) — A new everbearing red 
raspberry from New York state. 
Durham (very early) — This is a new everbearing 
red raspberry from N. H. similar to the September. 
They bear large, well flavored berries about two weeks 
earlier than Latham. 
The above varieties are all sold as two year plants 
(mature canes) that will bear fruit this season. We 
find it very important to pick out a well-drained plot 
of ground for raspberry planting. Should the roots re- 
main 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 the top roots. We set our new plants 
about sixteen inches apart. Rows should be at least 
six feet apart. As soon as all the leaf buds have started 
to grow, we nip off all but the three strongest buds on 
each cane. More than three branches seems to weaken 
the new shoots, and produces small fruit. 
Your county agricultural agent will gladly give you 
pert advice on spray schedules for insect and weed 
control.
