BLACK RASPBERRIES 



Popularly termed "Blackcap" Raspberries. The tips are propagated by layering the ends of the 

 canes in earth, wh'ch causes them to emit roots and form ""tip" plants. 



CUMBERLAND. — Produces the largest ber- 

 ries of any Blackcap that we have ever grown 

 and produces them freely. The berries are jet 

 black, with very little bloom: ar.- firm and of 

 excellent quality; sweet and mild; ripening in 

 midseason and continuing for two weeks. 

 Tips, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



HONEY SWEET 



Even those who ordinarily do not care for 

 Blackcaps will surely enjoy the fruit of Honey 

 Sweet, which is remarkably rich, sweet and 

 luscious. Not only are the berries of superl) 

 flavor, but they are firm enough for distant 

 shipment. They are also of attractive appear- 

 ance, being jet black, without bloom, and of 

 good size. Canes are of strong growth and of 

 ironclad hardihood, and yield heavily. Ripens 

 early to midseason, maturing its entire crop 

 quickly. We consider it bv far the best of all. 

 Selected tip plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



SCARFF. — A seedling of the once popular 

 Gregg, but in every way superior to its parent. 

 Its fruit is almost, if not fully, as large as 

 Cumberland, and it is produced in much 



greater profusion than that variety; in fact, we 

 consider it the most productive Blackcap in 

 commerce. Absolutely hardy and a vigorous 

 grower. Tips, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



KANSAS. — More largely grown than any 

 other variety, by reason of its being so reliable 

 and giving such fine berries. The canes are of 

 strong growth, hardy and exceedingly prolific. 

 It ripens earlier than the Cumberland, and the 

 berries do not have the objectionable blrom or 

 mouldy appearance of some varieties. Berries 

 of large size, jet black, firm, sweet and excellent. 

 One of the very best of the Blackcaps as a 

 shipper. Ripens early to midseason and matures 

 its entire crop quickly. Tips, dozen, $1.00; 100, 

 $5.00. 



PLUM FARMER.— A distinct and valuable 

 variety. The berries are of highest quality, 

 large size, and firm, meaty texture. They 

 are coal black, with considerable bloom, which 

 causes them to appear a bluish-gray. The canes 

 are of strong habit, hardy, and prolific. Ripens 

 quite early and matures its entire crop of berries 

 rapidly. Tips, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00.
