Black Raspberries 



CULTURE 

 Black Queen — A remarkable Blackcap, 

 never offered before until last spring, but 

 one which has been thoroughly tested in 

 this state for the last three years. This 

 variety is the strongest, most robust grow- 

 ing variety of Blackcap Raspberry that 

 we have ever seen, and produces through- 

 out the entire month of July immense 

 clusters of bright, jet black, delicious, 

 sweet berries in unbelievable abundance. 

 Our tests of the variety have revealed no 

 weakness whatever; in fact, if our plants 

 of Black Queen continue to behave in fu- 

 ture years in anything like so satisfactory 

 a manner as they have these past three 

 years, we feel sure that the variety will 

 supersede all other Blackcap varieties. 

 Because of the great merit of this variety, 

 and also because our supply of plants is 

 as yet decidedly limited, we cannot send 

 more than 12 plants to any one person. 

 Price, 6 plants for ^4.50; 12 plants for 

 ^7.50. Illustrated, on page 55. 

 Cumberland — Produces, in great pro- 

 fusion, the largest berries of any Black- 

 cap that we have ever grown, ripening in 

 mid-season and continuing for two weeks. 

 Tips, dozen, ^1.00; 100, ^5.00. Heavy 

 transplanted plants, dozen, ^2.00; 100,

Kansas — The most widely grown "Black- 

 cap" because of its reliability and the ex- 

 cellence of its fruit. The canes are of 

 strong growth, hardy and exceedingly 

 prolific. Berries of large size, jet black, 

 firm, sweet, and excellent. One of the 

 very best of the Blackcaps as a shipper. 

 Ripens early. Tips, dozen, ^1.00; 100, 

 ^5.00. 



Plum Farmer — The berries are of highest 

 quality, large size, and firm, meaty tex- 

 ture. Most valuable for market growers.

 transplanted plants, dozen, $2.00: 100, 

 $10.00.

In field culture, plant in rows from five to 

 seven feet apart (according to the vigor of the 

 variety) and three feet apart in the rows. In the 

 garden, plant in rows five feet apart and the 

 plants three feet apart in the rows. 



LOVETT'S MOUNT POCONO 



It resists zero climate successfully, bears fruit 

 above the average size and the quality is extra 

 high. Being a hardy, vigorous grower, with 

 healthy, strong-growing canes, it logically is also 

 a heavy producer of quality [jerries.

 cono Blackberry for sections having extreme 

 climatic conditions. Selected Root-cuttin^; plants,
