A GOOD Black Raspberry patch is one of the most profitable 

 of farm crops — provided if you have strong, healthy canes 

 capable of maturing a large crop of berries! Our select strain certified 

 raspberry plants are beyond doubt the finest obtainable — and will lead 

 the field in their respective sections. These plants are definitely superior 

 in quality and the greatest bargains ever offered! 



Diseased and run out fields average only from 400 to 800 quarts per 

 acre — while strong, disease-free plants will yield from 1600 to 3000 quarts 

 per acre. You can see from these figures how much more in dollars and 

 cents it will mean to you if you invest in Townsends' Select Strain 

 Certified plants. Place your orders now — we'll ship when you're ready to set. 



NEW LOGAN 



A new black raspberry, famous for 

 two noteworthy characteristics: It 

 ripens about a week earlier than the 

 Cumberland, and is extraordinarily 

 resistant to virus diseases. These 

 fine quality berries are of good size, 

 grow vigorously, and produce ex- 

 tremely well. The New Logan is a 

 favorite in both the North and 

 Central States, and is one of the 

 best of the early varieties. 



COLUMBIAN 



PURPLE 



The leader in the field of purple 

 commercial varieties, its firm, dark 

 purple berries are tangily flavored. 

 A vigorous and exceptionally pro- 

 ductive grower, especially popular 

 in the states of New York, Pennsyl- 

 vania, West Virginia, Ohio, Massa- 

 chusetts, and Connecticut. 



PLUM FARMER 



Considered by experienced, large 

 growers in New York, Pennsylvania, 

 and New England States to be the 

 best early black cap variety for that 

 territory. A strong, vigorous, up- 

 right grower that is very productive, 

 with good quality, medium to large, 

 exceptionally juicy fruit. Because it 

 ripens its fruit very quicklv. the 

 bulk of the crop is removed in four 

 or five pickings. 



SODUS PURPLE 



Produces some of the most beautiful, 

 largest purple berries we've ever seen. 

 Sodus berries do not crumble, but 

 cling to the branch long after ripen- 

 ing. Its delicious flavor and beautiful 

 texture makes it a top seller to 

 canners. Plants are vigorous growers, 

 very hardy and extremely productive 

 Entirely free of mosaic. 



NEW LOGAN 



CUMBERLAND 



The outstanding leader among black raspberries — 

 the most widely planted variety grown today! Cumber- 

 land is unsurpassed by any other black raspberry in 

 both hardiness and productiveness. The large, very 

 sweet flavorful fruit is very firm and can be safely 

 shipped a long distance in spite of its size. The bushes 

 are vigorous, being very capable of supporting their 

 large crop of fruit. The' ripening season extends from 

 midseason to late. For those customers looking for a 

 fine quality, profitable black raspberry, we highly 

 recommend Cumberland. We have a nice stock of 

 Certified Cumberland plants this year at reasonable 

 prices, and are confident of the fine results you will 

 obtain from this fruit. For a continuous fruit crop 

 covering a long period, plant Cumberland and Logan.
