In the " Rural New Yorker " of Oct. 22, i8g8 (paffe 723), Mr. B. P. Foster 
writes : ■• I want to pay a few words in favor of the new black Raspberry 
" Cumberland." which the A' Ae-iv Yorker was among the first to describe 
and illustrate. 
" I had about five acres of it in fruiting the past summer, and am delighted 
with It. I had Ohio, Black Diamond and several other varieties growing side 
by side with It and under exactly the same conditions. The Cun^faerland fully 
doubled the yield of Ohio and is far ahead of all other varieties on mv grounds 
Ihe fruit IS so large and so abundant that it can easily be picked for one third 
less than other sorts, and it is of such a superior appearance as to command 
considerably above the market price of other varieties. T cannot too strongly 
recommend this new berry." ■ 
From Charles Beaver, Fruit Dealer, Harrisburg, Pa.: "I handled some of the 
CUMBERLAND Black Raspberries, which were the finest I ever saw, and which 
\vere selling in our market at )o cents per quart when other varieties were 
offered at 5 cents to 7 cents per quart. I consider it a remarkable fruit of its kind. 
$1.50 dozen ; $8.00 per hundred. If by mail add loc. dozen. 
Firmness. In spite of its extremely large size, the Cumherland is pos- 
sessed of unusual firmness, and is thus well adapted for standing long ship- 
ments. It will ne noticed that this quahty is especially remarked iipon in most 
ot the testimonials appended hereto, 
THe season of ripening varies, of course, in diiferent latitudes but 
can be best designated by comparison with other varieties. It follows Palmer 
and Souhegan (01 Tyler), and precedes Gregg a short time, making it what we 
may call a midseason variety. 
\ \ \^ ^> '^^^^ follows the Raspberry, and re- 
Wvl7<^ Tl mains with us for a long time, and is con- 
sidered one of the most wholesome fruits 
for family use. An easy way to destroy the currant worm is by the 
use of White Hellebore ; begin its use as soon as the worm appears, 
usually two applications are all that are necessary. Set four feet apart, in rich 
soil, cultivate well or mulch heavily, and cut out old wood each year. 
Cherry. Very large ; deep red ; rather acid ; bunches short. Plants 
erect, stout, vigorous and productive. 
Fay'.s Prolific. Originated in Chautauqua County, N. Y. A cross be- 
twee'n Cherry and Victoria. Of large size, fine flavor, and claimed to be five 
times as prolific as the Cherry. A great acquisition. 
La Versaillaise. Very large ; red; bunch long, ot great beauty and ex- 
cellent quality One of the finest and best, and should be in every collection 
Very productive. 
Lee's Prolific Black. A new English variety. The fruit is large and 
of superior quality, the bush is a vigorous grower and enormously productive, 
rendering it very profitable. 
Victoria. A .splendid variety, ripening two or three weeks later than the 
others, and continuing in a tine condition for a long period. Bunches extreme- 
ly long, berries of medium size, brilliant red and of the highest quality. 
White Crape. Very large ; yellowi.sh white ; sweet, or very mild acid, 
excellent quality and valuable for the table. The finest of the white sorts' 
Very distinct from white Dutch, having a low spreading habit, and dark green 
foliage. Very productive.
