(If wanted by Parcel Post add 10c. per doz.) 

 Black Diamond. A berry very popular among western New York growers. 

 One of the strongest growers making an abundance of good, clean wood 

 which ripens up well in the fall, thus enabling it to withstand the cold 

 weather remarkably well. Fruit jet black and juicy with few seeds. 

 Cumberland. In size the fruit is simply enormous, the berries measuring 

 seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, but in spite of this, the fruit is pos- 

 sessed of unusual firmness. Extremely vigorous and remarkably free 

 from disease. 



The "Munger." The fruit is black and resembles Gregg very much. It 

 is a better flavored berry than Gregg, tougher in texture, and therefore a 

 better shipper. In size it excels Gregg, and is extra fine for the table 

 and preserving.

Red Raspberry i3«-« KeglS a dd 10c. per doz.) 



Fruits from June to Frost. 



It is the earliest of all red raspberries; beginning to ripen in New Jersey from June loth 

 to 20th — just as the strawberry crop is waning. 



It is wonderfully prolific; the first or main crop being far greater than that of any other 

 red variety known; it succeeds upon all soils, and the canes are absolutely hardy. 



It fruits on the old canes in generous quantities until late in August. By that date 



rries begin to ripen upon the young canes, which continue to produce berries in increas- 

 ing numbers until severe frost. 



The berries are a bright crimson, of large size and surpassing quality—rich sugary, 

 with full raspberry flavor. They are of exceedingly meaty, firm texture and keep in good 

 condition longer after being gathered, than any other red raspberry. 



Price, strong transplnnte.l plants, SI. .30 per doz., $8.00 per 100.
