its two most noteworthy characteristics are that it ripens about a week 
earlier than the Cumberland and is very resistant to virus diseases. The ber- 
py Ube . ries are of good size and quality, vigorous growers and very productive; is a 
favorite in the Central States as well as the North. If you desire an early 
ge Sponosiga variety, Logan is one of the best. ; 
b. PLUM FARMERis considered by large growers to be the best early black 
cap variety for New York, Pennsylvania, and the New England States. Strong, 
vigorous, upright grower and very productive. Fruit is medium to large and 
of good quality, being very juicy. Ripens its fruit very fast; cons equently, 
the bulk of the crop is off in four or five pickings. 
COLUMBIAN PURPLE This is the leading com- 
mercial variety of the purple type. Berries are firm of a 
dark purple and sprightly flavor, is a vigorous grower and 
very productive. Grown extensively in the states of New 
York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Massachusetts 
and Connecticut. 
CUMBERLAND is by far the most widely 
planted black raspberry grown today. In hardi- 
ness and production it is unexcelled by any 
other variety. The fruit is large, very sweet and 
rich in flavor. In spite of its large size the fruit 
; is very firm and will withstand long-distant 
/ shipping. Bushes are very vigorous, being well 
adapted to supporting their large crop of fruit. 
Season of ripening midseason to late. We can 
safely recommend Cumberland to our customers 
who are looking for a profitable black raspberry. 
We have a nice stock of certified Cumberland 
plants this year at reasonable prices. We know 
ay you will like the Cumberland and results ob- 
a tained with them. For a continuous crop of fruit 
o over a long period, plant Cumberland and Logan.
