BLACK RASPBERRIES 



Popularly termed "Blackcap" Raspberries. The 

 tips are propagated by layering the ends of the 

 canes in earth, which causes them to send out roots 

 and form "tip" plants. 



CUMBERLAND — Produces, in great profusion, 

 the largest berries of any Blackcap that we have ever 

 grown. The berries are jet black, with very little 

 bloom; are 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 — Every connoisseur will surely 

 enjoy the fruit of Honey Sweet, which is remarkably 

 rich, sweet, and luscious. Not only are the berries 

 of superb flavor, but they are firm enough for distant 

 shipment. They are also of attractive appearance, 

 being jet black, without bloom, and of good size. 

 Canes are of strong growth and of ironclad hardi- 

 hood, and yield heavily. Ripens early to midseason, 

 maturing its entire crop quickly. We consider it by 

 far the best of all. Selected tip plants, dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



SCARFF — Superior to old Gregg, which it sur- 

 passes in every way. 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 con- 

 sider it the most prolific, and hence profitable, 

 Blackcap in commerce. Absolutely hardy and a 

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



KANSAS — The most widely grown "Blackcap" 

 because of its reliability and the excellence of its 

 fruit. The canes are of strong growth, hardy and 

 exceedingly prolific. It ripens earlier than the Cum- 

 berland, and the berries do not have the objection- 

 able bloom or mouldy appearance of some varieties. 

 Berries of large size, jet black, firm, sweet, and excel- 

 lent. 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 — 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 prac- 

 tically at once, making it a most valuable sort for 

 market growers. Tips, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. - 



BLACKBERRIES 



A Delight to the Eye, A Pleasure to the Palate 



Grow more of them ! We suggest this advisedly, 

 for among berry crops, Blackberries are, perhaps, 

 the most reliable, year after year. We know of sev- 

 eral instances where commercial growers of Black- 

 berries, during the past few years, have made money 

 to pay off mortgages, while the average "potato 

 farmer" has grown poorer. * 



In the matter of varieties, you can safely count on 

 those offered on the following pages to do as descrip- 

 tions promise. Where large plantations are con- 

 templated we will gladly help with more specific 

 advice in the matter of selecting sorts best adapted 

 to certain sections. Our stock of both heavy trans- 

 planted and root-cutting plants is second to none !
