BLACK AND PURPLE 

 RASPBERRIES 



Black Diamond. E^^tod™! 



Sweet and sugary in flavor, with 

 fruit almost as large as Kansas. An 

 extremeiy popular variety in western 

 New York, where it is largely grown. 

 Altogether this is a very superior 

 Blackcap, producing fruit of 

 large size, firm and of high qual- 

 ity; with prolific canes of strong 

 ijrowth, iron-clad hardiness and 

 -creat resistance to anthracnose. 

 rhe fruit is said to be the sweet- 



>est of all black Raspberries. It 

 is a good shipper, and for evap- 

 orating, canning and home con- 

 sumption it ranks very high. 



Black Pearl. 5,ac'kcap":a: 



introduced a few years ago from 

 Kansas and it certainly is a 

 winner. The fruit is glossy jet- 

 black, very large, firm and plenti- 

 ful. It ripens with the very 

 earliest and comes on so fast 

 that its immense crop is gone 

 inside of fifteen days from the 

 time the first berries ripen. The 

 canes are healthy, vigorous and 

 hardy, and we regard this as one 

 of the very best varieties in our 

 list; it certainly is the best very 

 early variety either for the home 

 garden or for market. You will 

 miss something really good if 

 you fail to include this in your 

 order. See illustration, page 37.
