CUMBERLAND, THE POPULAR BLACK CAP 



Raspberries 



Raspberries are profitable and easily 

 grown, and will undoubtedly lit into 

 your program nicely. Select a good 

 piece of ground, that is slightly elevat- 

 ed, prepare the soil thoroughly as for 

 other truck crops, do not set in sod 

 land. It is advisable to spread the 

 land with manure before planting. 

 Spring planting is considered best in 

 most sections. For hill system the us- 

 ual distance to plant is 5 ft. by 5 ft. If 

 the hedge system is desired, plant 3 ft. 

 apart in rows which are 5 to 7 feet 

 distant. Before planting the tops 

 should be cut back to 6 inches or less, 

 the plants should be set slightly deeper 

 than they formerly grew. Cultivate 

 frequently enough to retain moisture 

 and kill weeds, but be sure not to cul- 

 tivate over 2 or 8 inches deep next to 

 the plants as deeper cultivation may 

 cause serious damage. After the 

 fruiting season remove all fruiting 

 canes, cutting them close to the ground 

 and burning them, this will help pre- 

 vent disease and greatly aid the new growth. Do not allow over 8 or 10 canes to grow to the 

 plant, remove all weak canes and suckers, so as to throw all the strength into the young bear- 

 ing canes. Topping canes in the early spring will strengthen the canes and aid in picking. 

 Raspberries respond readily to fertile soil, and sufficient fertilizer or manure should be used 

 to keep your soil in good fertile condition. 



CUTHBERT (Red). Berries are large, conical, deep rich crimson, good quality, and heavy 

 producer. Very good shipper, makes a tall growth that may need support. Will do well in 

 a large range of soil types. Resistant to wilt diseases. 



LATHAM (Red). This new variety has proven its merit as being the leader in all red rasp- 

 berries. It is a very heavy producer of large uniform berries, a very attractive red in 

 color, being unusually firm, with very good shipping qualities. Its proven ability for heavy 

 production of high quality fruit has placed it as the most profitable red raspberry. 



CHIEF (Red). This new early variety is a strong rival to Latham, having out-produced 

 them in a few tests, it ripens about 10 days earlier. You will have a heavy producing berry 

 patch by planting Chief for early, and Latham for mid-season. Growth is hardiest of all va- 

 rieties, very vigorous and productive. Berries a good size, of even better quality than the 

 Latham, a beautiful bright red, and firm enough to stand long shipments. 



ST. REGIS (Everbearing Red). The most profitable of the everbearers. Fruit is bright red, 

 of good size and quality. Fruiting season is very long, fruiting on the old canes until late 

 August, then the young ones will begin bearing, and will continue until late frosts. Makes 

 a hardy growth which is resistant to virus diseases. 



CUMBERLAND (Black). This variety has been the favorite with many growers, being more 

 widely planted than any other black raspberry because of its productiveness, and high des 

 sert quality. Berries are very large and firm, ripens in mid-season. Makes a very hardy 

 growth. 



NEW LOGAN (Black). A new early variety that is very resistant to all virus diseases. It 

 is a very heavy producer of large handsome black berries that hold their size and firmness 

 well throughout the season. Ripens about a week ahead of Cumberland, all berries ripen in 

 a short period, thus you w^ill have heavy pickings instead of slight pickings over a long sea- 

 son. A very hardy grower of long canes, that will probably do best if topped in early spring.
