Spraying and Dusting 
As strawberries are seldom subject to any serious damage 
from disease or insects, spraying or dusting is not commonly 
practiced. Setting healthy plants of varieties immune or resist- 
ant to disease is much more desirable. 
RASPBERRIES — 
\MADAWASKA RED (Early) 
A wonderful berry everywhere—Middle Atlantic States 
north nearly as early as the earliest, and larger than any of its 
season. The cane growth is hardy and tough and we believe will 
stand our northern climate as well or better than most red 
raspberries. This berry ripens about two weeks earlier than 
Latham. 
LATHAM RED (Mid-Season) 
The leading, most productive money making red raspberry 
in most every part of the country. Bright glowing red and 
holds its rich color and flavor when canned. Plants are vigorous 
and do not require expert attention. A Latham raspberry 
patch will last for years. Be sure and secure healthy, “mosaic 
free” stock. Its marvelous keeping quality makes Latham a 
most popular shipping and freezing variety. Berry is very 
large, round and firm. 
“GATINEAU RED (Very Early) 
This Red Raspberry was bred at Ottawa, Canada, from 
Newman and Lloyd George, makes a heavy cane with us and 
berries are larger than any of the earliest Red Raspberries we 
have. Its quality is tops, two weeks earlier than Latham. Under 
irrigation it is a wonderful cropper. If you wish to pick rasp- 
berries from the last week in June to mid-October, plant 
Gatineau, Latham, and Durham. You will like that combi- 
nation. 
‘MUSKOKA (Mid-Season) 
A very hardy main crop berry. It is a Newman and Her- 
bert cross from Ottawa, Canada. Its firmness of fruit and 
hardiness of cane recommend it for those in severe climate 
districts. Muskoka berries are good in size, round, very firm, 
and medium red in color. It required good soil and moisture 
conditions. 
~ MILTON RED (Late) 
An apparently mosaic free Red Raspberry. In test plant- 
ings here in Massachusetts, over a period of five years, Milton 
has shown no trace of mosaic. For that one reason it should 
be worth a try for any home or market garden. It is a late 
variety ripening several days later than Latham or Taylor.
