HE varieties offered by us this year are so much superior to 

 others, we know that they will lead the field in their respective 

 sections. We are confident that we are not only offering you the very best 

 raspberry plants that it is possible to grow, but the greatest raspberry 

 bargains ever offered. Why not let us reserve some of these heavy yielding 

 certified plants for you now? We ship when you are ready to set. 



A good black raspberry patch is one of the most profitable of farm crops 



. . . provided only that you have strong, healthy canes capable of maturing 



a large crop of berries. Diseased and run out fields average only from 



400 to 800 quarts per acre; strong, disease-free plants average from 1.600 



to 3,000 quarts per acre. You can readily see for yourself by 



figuring your local market prices on raspberries just how much 



more profit you can make by investing in Townsend's Select 



Strain certified plants.

States to be the best early black cap variety for that territory. A 

 strong, vigorous, upright grower that is very productive, with good

 its fruit very quickly, the bulk of the crop is removed in four or 

 five pickings.

CUMBERLAND® 



CpBERlflfjD 



The outstanding leader among black 

 raspberries — the most widely planted 

 variety grown today! Cumberland is unsurpassed by any other black rasp- 

 berry 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 cus- 

 tomers 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.
