OUNTIFUL RIDGE PLANTS
LATHAM (Red)
The popular mosaic-free, hardy raspberry. Without
question Latham is the most profitable red raspberry
for commercial planting. It is absolutely hardy. It can-
not be surpassed in productiveness. Due to its rich
brilliant red color it sells readily on market stands, is
a delightful table berry and almost perfect for can-
ning. The berries are large, round and unusually firm,
exceptionally well stfited for shipping to distant
markets. It ripens -^enly over a long season.
^TAYLOR (Red)
This beautiful berry should have the consideration of
every commercial raspberry grower.
The plants are vigorous, hardy, productive, tall grow-
ing and make new plants rapidly. Sturdy canes hold
the berries well off the ground. Berries ripen shortly
before Latham, are large, long conic, bright attractive
red, thick fleshed, ver,v firm, sub-acid and of excellent
quality, being superior to Latham. The berries do not
cling to the bush and carry well to markets.
iXMILTON (Red)
Milton ripens two or three days later than Latham
and is a fine berry for home or market use. The berries
are large, brilliant red, non-crumbling, mild sub-acid in
flavor and good. The plants are vigorous, productive,
hardy, and have remained free of mosaic.
--" SUNRISE (Red)
This berry ripens 10 to 16 days earlier than Latham.
Its size is near the size of Latham.
It has been very resistant to anthracnose, leaf spot,
cane blight, and the resistance shown is probably one
of the important factors in its ability to withstand low
temperatures.
The color is bright red but turns dark red on ripen-
ing. The berries pick easily. They are firm, fine tex-
tured, juicy, non-crumbly, sub-acid in flavor with good
raspberry aroma, and better in quality than Latham.

OITS PENNRIDGE (Red)
We are pleased to introduce to our customers one of
the finest new red raspberries we have ever seen. Ott's
Pennridge originated in Bucks County, Pa., on the farm
of Mr. H. Lloyd Ott. He was first attracted to this new
berry when he noticed a few plants of outstanding
vigor and berry size among his Latham. He propagated
from these original plants, and after several years of
selection and testing, he asked us to see the fine results
of his work. We found this new berry most exceptional.
OTT'S PENNRIDGE is a large, healthy, vigorous
grower that averages one to two feet taller than Latham.
The berries are about 50% larger than Latham, and
ripen some 10 days later. Test trials indicate that these
large, heavily loaded .ilants out-yield most other red
raspberries two to one. OTT'S PENNRIDGE berries
have excellent flavor and carry as well as the best of the
leading red raspberries.
