BLACK RASPBERRIES 



A good Black Raspberry patch is one of the most profitable 

 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 mar'.^et prices on rasp- 

 berries 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 inter- 

 vals 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 gro^^-ing 

 condition. Customers have made our Nurseries headquarters 

 for their Raspberry plants, knowing that larger yields which 

 mean bigger profits are the results of our plants. 



CUMBERLAND In hardiness and production it is unexcelled 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 supporting 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; healthv 

 and very productive. Will withstand drought and cold; berries 

 very juicy large and attractive, ripening its fruit very fast, con- 

 sequently the bulk of the crop is off in four or five pickings.

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- 

 ting Blackberry Plants from Toicnsend's. Our stock is well 

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

 Spring Plants. 



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.) 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 some of these plants, in which our stock is being supplied 

 you direct from original stock furnished by the originator.

 The Blackberry plants received today. Have two 

 thousand of them set out. These plants are all any 

 one could expect. Heavy canes all one size, no small 

 stock in them at all. It is a pleasure to do business 

 with a firm like yours. F. HARPER.
