 The upright growing varieties should be planted for field cnltnre in rows six feet apart, and the plants three 

 feet distant in the rows, requiring 2.400 plants per acre; or four feet apart each way, to be cultivated in hills, 

 requiring 2,700 plants per acre. It is best to ])lace two plants in each hill, requiring, of course, double the number'. 

 In garden culture plant three feet apart each way and restrict to hills. Soon as i^lanted cut back the canes to 

 within a few inches of the ground. In field culture plant the cap varieties in l ows seven feet apart and three feet 

 six inches distant in the row, requiring 1.775 plants to the acre:, or four and a half feet apart each way, requiring 

 2,150 plants to the acre. In garden crilture plant four feet apart each way. 



CUMBERLAND. 



The berries of this variety are decidedly larger than those of any other blackcap raspberry that has yet appeared, 

 equaling good-sized blackberries. In fact, it is believed to have blackberry blood in its makeup. The large size of 

 its fruit, however, is by no means its only valuable property, for it is as beautiful and as good as it is lar^^e. In 



hardiness it is unrivaled, having endured un- 

 scathed a temperature of sixteen degrees 

 below zero, which severely damaged cfregg 

 and other popular varieties,' and its canes are 

 remarkably strong, vigorous, and healthy, 

 and they are wonderfully prolific, yielding 

 enormous crops each year. The berries are 

 jet black, Avirh but little of the objectionable 

 bloom of the Gregg. Yery firm, equal the 

 best in quality, and, unhke other varieties of 

 blackcaps which are of greater breadth and 

 length, the berries of Cumberland are de- 

 cidedly greater in length than breadth, re- 

 .>^embling blackberiies. In truth, the shape 

 of the berries, added to the fact that seedlings 

 of it produce plants with blackberry leaves, 

 has given rise to the belief that the variety is 

 partly of blackberiy origin. Owing to' its 

 great size, beauty, hardiness, vigor, and re- 

 markable productiveness, it has been termed 

 " The Business liaspberry,"' which title " 

 peculiarly appropriate. Its season of

In ei.u\ ersation with Professor Taft during 



— — the recent meeting of The Americax Pomo- 



. . . LOGICAL Society, he said that he regarded it 



in hi.s opinion, all other varieties of the blackcap raspberry. I have by me similar 

 T 1 in difi'ei ent and widely separated parts of the* laud. Like 



it is one of those varieties of sterling merit
