BLACK RASPBERRIES 



A good Black Raspberry patch is one of the most profit- 

 able of farm crops, providing you have strong healthy 

 canes that are in proper condition to mature a large 

 crop of berries. The average yields from diseased and 

 run out fields are from 400 to 800 quarts per acre, making 

 the production too low to be profitable, while a patch 

 that has been set with strong free from disease plants 

 will yield from 1,600 to as high as 3,000 quarts an acre. 

 Figuring your local market prices on raspberries you can 

 readily see just what profit there is to be made and why 

 it pays to set selected free from disease plants. 



CERTIFIED STOCK FREE FROM DISEASE 



Our plants are inspected from 3 to 5 times at regular 

 intervals during the growing season by a specialist on 

 Raspberry diseases, all diseased canes being immediately 

 destroyed from our plantings. At digging time our plants 

 are again inspected with a final inspection made at time 

 your order is filled, that nothing but vigorous number one 

 stock will be sent out; packed by experienced packers that 

 they will arrive in a fresh growing condition. Customers 

 have made our Nurseries headquarters for their Rasp- 

 berry plants, knowing that larger yields which mean 

 bigger profits are the results of our plants. 



CUMBERLAND — in hardiness and production it is unex- 

 celled by any other variety; in spite of the enormous size 

 the fruit is very firm and will withstand long shipments. 

 Bushes very healthy and vigorous; well adapted to support- 

 ing their large crop of berries. Season of ripening, mid- 

 season to late. 



NEW LOGAN— is an outstanding new Black Raspberry 

 variety; probably its two most noteworthy characteristics 

 are that it ripens about a week earlier and is more resistant 

 to the virus diseases than the widely grown Cumberland. 

 A very productive variety and fruit of good size and quality. 

 If an early berry is desired it is one of the best. 



PLUM FARMER — is considered by large growers to be the 

 best early black cap variety: strong vigorous upright 

 grower; healthy and very productive. Will withstand 

 drought and cold; berries very juicy large and attractive, 

 ripening its fruit very fast, consequently the bulk of the 

 crop is off in four or five pickings. 



BLACKBERRY PLANT/ 



from TZoot cutting* 



We do not sell any sucker plants, as our experience with them 

 is far from satisfactory — when compared with plants grown 

 from Root Cuttings, which produce much stronger canes, and 

 far better quality fruit. Demand the best and order Root Cut- 

 tings of Blackberry Plants from Townsend's. Our stock is well 

 rooted and will please you. Let us reserve your order for 

 Spring Plants. Prices of Blackberry Plants on page 31. 



ALFRED Recent introduction; midseason fruiting, extremely 

 large big black berries, practically free from seeds and coreless: 

 very sweet and juicy. 



SNYDER One of the old favorites that is popular on account 

 of its high quality and early ripening. 



EARLY HARVEST Earliest to ripen and most productive of the 

 early varieties, and demands the top of the market. We offer 

 only selected strain of this variety. 



ELDORADO Most valuable variety for market or home use. 

 Rich flavor with but little core. Finest quality of the Black- 

 berry family. 



BEST OF ALL (Known as Russell B. B. in N. J.t A new Black- 

 berry that has been grown in the sandy soil section of New 

 Jersey and. as stated by the N. J. Agric. Station, is very resist- 

 ant to Orange Rust; outyielding all other blackberries that have 

 been tried there. It will pay the Blackberry grower to order
