BLACK CAP RASPBERRIES 



BLACK DIAMOND. — In this we have a very superior 

 early black cap; one producing fruit of large size, firm 

 texture and of high quality with a prolific cane of strong 

 growth and ironclad hardihood. Fruit is almost as large 

 as the Kansas and of sweet sugary flavor. Unsurpassed 

 for evaporating. Extremely popular in Western New 

 York, where it is largely grown. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 

 1000, $10.00. 



CTJMBERLAiVD. — After seeing its fruit one ceases to 

 wonder why this is in such great demand. It is certainly 

 the largest blackcap I have ever grown, and the yield is 

 very great. The canes are strong and vigorous, quite in 



accord with the demands of such a large-fruited, abun- 

 dant bearer, and are unusually hardy. The berries are 

 jet black, with little or no bloom; very firm and of excel- 

 lent quality; sweet and pleasant. Midseason. (See cut.) 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



PLUM FAEMEE. — "It is the largest, most productive, 

 best colored and most attractive black cap in cultivation. 

 The plants are models of growth. It succeeds where 

 other black caps fail. The fruit is not jet black, but has 

 a grayish appearance with bloom. It is very early and 

 ripens the bulk of its crop in a short time." The fore- 



going is the description of the introducer. It is no 

 longer a new novelty, but has been fully tested. Rapidly 

 gaining popularity in New Jersey, where it has proved 

 to be one of the very best of the black caps. Doz., 35c; 

 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00.

KANSAS. — The most popular black Raspberry for gen- 

 eral cultivation; and on account of its being so reliable 

 with such fine fruit. The canes are of strong growth, 

 hardy and wonderfully prolific — (much earlier than the 

 once popular Gregg) and the berries do not have the 



Kansas Raspberry. 

 objectionable bloom or mouldy appearance of that variety. 

 Fruit of large size, jet black, extra firm, sweet and rich 

 and excellent. One of the very best shippers. Ripens 

 in midseason and matures its great crop quickly. (See 

 cut.) Doz., 35c; 100. $1.25; 1000, $8.00. 



MUNGEE. — A variety much prized by some. Its dis- 

 tinguishing properties are its strong growth of cane, very 

 large, globular berries, (which are of exceeding firmness 

 and sweetness), and its late season of ripening. Canes 

 are hardy and prolific. Doz., 40c; 100, $2.00. 



HOOSIEE. — A variety from the west, claimed to surpass 

 all others. Its strong points are productiveness and 

 hardiness of cane, united with large size, jet black color 

 and high quality of fruit. The originator says it sur- 

 passes that standard of excellence, the Cumberland, and 

 the fruit sells on an average of 25c per quart wholesale. 

 Canes never known to have disease of any kind or to 

 winter kill. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50. 



Beware of Spurious and mixed 

 plants of the St. Regis Everbear- 

 ing Raspberry. Many, I am 

 sorry to say, are being offered. 

 The Monmouth Nursery is head- 

 quarters for this Unrivalled 

 Raspberry.
