25 SELECT LATHAM 25 SELECT CHIEF 50 Plants SA.yq Special Price ^%^»Jf ^ M -m>:m CTB^ tr#*' i%' i SftS- nT'S easy to be enthusiastic -=■ about Latham because it is the finest looking berry on the market —and because it produces more berries to the acre than any other variety (and does so with the least amount of care). This KING of all raspberries will mean Real Profits for you. Townsend's Select Srtain Lat- ham yields large, luscious rich red fruit—so appetizing in its appearance and flavor that it meets with instant approval! Commercial growers average over $1,000 per acre of plants. Latham, which is entirely free of mosaic, more than measures up to the most exacting stand- ards, producing firm fruit that is excellent for long distance shipping. Order some Town- send's Latham — you'll be pleased with your success, whether you raise to sell or to serve!

£«/// i\aspberry Bright, glowing red, and extra large berries makes this New variety stand out above any other early red-rasp- berry. Plants are healthy and good growers. Fruit fine for shipping or canning. Introduced by the New Jersey Experiment Station. Supply limited order early. Prices, See Page 31 Absolutely Hardy — Easy to Crow CHIEF, the earliest raspberry of all, is the only real rival of Latham. It was selected from a planting of 4,000 Latham seedlings by the Minnesota State Breeding Farm, and has become the best early red for general planting, surpassing all others. The fruit, while not quite as large as Latham, is extremely hardy, firm, bright red in color, practically immime from mosaic and mildew, keeps and ships well, and is an unusually heavy producer. Its brilhant coloring and appealing flavor, to- gether with its early ripening, makes Chief a good money maker for the commercial grower, and the home gardener as well.
