THE ' BUSINESS BLACK CAP'* 
V Mark } LARGEST BLACK RASPBERRY KNOWN 
Fruit sold for ' 10 cts. per quart wtien other varieties were selling for 5 to 7 cts. 
In tlie "Rural New Yorker" of Oct. 22, 1898, (page 723), 
Mr. B P. Foster writes : " I want to say a few words in favor of 
the new black liaspberry ' Cumberland,' which the Uural New 
I'di Iu )- 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 Cumberland fully doubled the 
yield of Ohio and is far ahead of all other varieties on my 
grounds. The fruit is so large and so abundant that it can easily 
be picked Lor one third less than other sorts and it is of such a 
superior appearance as to command con- 
siderably above the market price of other 
varieties. I cannot too strongly recom- 
mend this new berry." 
From Charles Beaver, Fruit Dealer, 
Harrisburg, Pa.: " I handled some of the 
CUMKEKLAND Black Raspberries, which 
were the finest I ever saw, and which were 
selling in our market at 10 cents per quart 
when othe varieties were offered at 5 cents 
to 7 cents per quart. I consider it a re- 
markable fruit of its kind."
