Black RASPBERRIES —Reliable Sorts 
1065 Cumberland B^ack Raspberry 
1067 Plum Farmer 
The Earliest Blackcap in Cultivation 
The plants are very healthy, being unusually free 
troni disease. The canes are strong growing-, pro- 
ducing- many laterals, thus giving- lots of bearing 
wood, insuring a heavy crop of fruft, while the berry 
IS very large and of fine quality. 
This kind ripens very early, producing the most of 
Its fruit in one -week. For this reason it is a favorite 
market variety v^ith many, as practically the entire 
crop can be harvested in three pickings. 
1068 Kansas 
1065 Cumberland 
The Best All Around Variety 
For Market or Home Use 
MIDSEASON 
This new black cap is a wonder in size and vigor 
of plant growtli and is as hardy as any known va- 
riety. It has no disease of either cane or foliage, 
grows luxuriantly wherever planted, and is tre- 
mendously productive of extra large, coal black 
berries, not approached in size or beauty by any 
other known variety. Kansas and Oregg, remark- 
able for size as they are, are simply "not in it" with 
Cumberland, except that their season of ripening 
gives each a distinct place. Largest specimens of 
Cumberland elongated like a blackberry and the 
great rollicking fellow seen in baskets or crate a 
little way off would easily be mistaken for black- 
berries^ Cumberland's season for ripening just fol- 
lows Kansas and its fruit lias about the same tex- 
ture and high quality as that superb variety. Every 
family should have a dozen to a hundred Cumber- 
land buslies, while money-seeking market planters ' 
eannot possibly have too" large an acreage of this 
great money maker. There is no question but what 
tie Cumberland is the best all roiuid black cap 
ever introduced. 
1066 Gregg — ^Extra Large 
Handsome Berry— Delicious Flavor — 
Late Sort 
This is the extra liig late lilue-black fellow. Heavy 
growing canes that branch out sparingly; not so 
hardy as Cumberland and Kansas, productive of 
very large, firm black berries, covered with a" deep 
bloom. Not so attractive as the jet Idack varieties, 
but size, late ripening and good quality make it a 
favorite. 
Prices on all Black Raspberries: 18c each; 6 for 
60c; 12 for $1.00; 100 for $8.00, postpaid. 
Next to Cumberland it Is the heaviest grower and 
cropper of all; branches very freely; is hardy, pro- 
ductive of very large, glossy, jet black berries. Will 
give satisfaction everywhere. 
BLACKBERRIES 
Blackberries require the same treatment as Raspberries. 
They do well on almost any soil, bearing good crops of fruit. 
There , are a dozen or -more varieties, all good, but from our 
experience we find four varieties cover just about all one could 
ask for, therefore we have discarded all but tlie best accord- 
ing -^o our ideas and recommend each to vou with confidence 
of them giving you entire satisfaction.
