Our Prices Are Low—Our Stock Is Superior—Why Pay More RELIABLE SOURCE OF INCOME Grapes, Rhubarb, and Asparagus Prove Consistent Profit Makers lor Growers LATHAM (Red) lieads all Bed Raspberries in Commercial Planting and Profits to the Grower The new mosaic free, hardy red raspberry. Without question Latham is the most profitable Red Raspberry for commercial planting. It is absolutely hardy. It cannot be surpassed in productiveness, out-yielding even Cuthbert. Due to its rich, brilliant red color it sells readily on market stands, and in addition is a de- lightful table berry and almost perfect for canning. The berries are large, round and unusually firm, excep- tionally well suited for shipping to distant markets. It ripens eVenly over a very long season. We have some of the finest Latham plants we have ever grown this year. NEWBURG (Red) Gaining: in Popularity £ach Year Because of Fine Quality and Heavy Production Newburg, a cross between Newman and Herbert, seems to be a most promising variety. The fruit is large, very firm, does not crumble, and is superior to Latham in quality. The color is a bright, attractive red. In keping and shipping quality it has no super- ior. The plants are vigorous, hardy, and very pro- ductive, in fact, the weight of the fruit is so great that the canes are often bent to the ground. The fruit is borne out in the open where it may be readily picked. It is necessary to support them with a wire along each side of the row. CHIEF (Red) Disease Resistance, High Quality, Consistent Heavy Production Makes Chief Our Leading: Early Red Raspberry Ripening ten days before Latham, being equally as productive as the Latham and of better quality than the Latham, it should be in every small fruit grower's planting. By using the Chief for an early red rasp- berry, Newburg for a mid-season and Latham for a late berry you have a combination that is bound to give you real profits. The Chief originating in the North is ex- tremely hardy, very vigorous and especially resistant to mosaic. Our plants are unusually fine for the Chief this year and our prices are the same as for the Lath- am. Plant liberally of them.
