BLACK RASPBERRIES. 
Commonly termed "Black Caps," are prefered to 
the red. For shipping purposes they carry much better and 
carry longer distances than the red. They are generally pre- 
fered for canning anil often for table, use, while for jams 
they are unsurpassed. We crow a limited number of 
varieties, those which we consider the very best for general culture. While 
many other good kinds are on the market our customers will make no 
mistake by planting these, as our list is the Cream of the Lot. 
Cumberland. 
NEMAHA 
Munger. 
Cumberland. 
The fruit is black, and resembles Gregg very much. It 
is a better flavored berry than the (IreEK. tougher in texture, and therefore 
a better shipper. In size it excells Gregg by almost 25 per cent., being extra 
fine for canning and evaporating. The past season, when most others were 
dry and seedy, Munger ripened up sweet and juicy, and readily brought 
an advance ot 50c. per bushel over other kinds. The canes, too, resemble 
Gregg, are free from disease, upright in growth. 15c. each: 75c' per doz. : 
$2.00 per 100. 
Mflvfif»1H Pri7P This vari «*y « perfectly hardy, withstanding 
may nciu riuc. our seve re winters without the least damage, as 
well as the extreme heat of Southern States. It is extremely early, making 
it invaluable to fruit growers and others who want a good fruit for the early 
market. The berries are of good size, firm texture and great keeping 
qualities. Its appearance is most handsome, being a deep glossy, jet 
black, nearly free from bloom. On the market in competition with other 
standard varieties it commands a much higher price and is always most 
eagerly sought after by the best trade. Planters who want an early berry, 
a handsome berry, a good berry, a productive berry and a profitable one to 
grow should not fail to plant this peerless sort. 15c. each, $1.00 oer doz • 
$2.50 per 100; by express $20.00 per 1,000. 
(See cut.) A valuable acquisition among black 
Raspberries. With its superio r size, it combines the 
equally valuable characteristics of great firmness, 
splendid quality and wonderful productiveness. The 
plants are entirely hardy, very vigorous and health- 
ful, and seem entirely unaffected by either anth— 
racnose or yellow blight. In season of ri- 
l>ening it follows Souhegan and precedes 
Gregg a short time, making a mid-season 
variety. Under equal conditions, Cum- 
berland will yield 2,000 quarts per acre 
more than Gregg and 1,000 more than 
Ohio. The Cumberland has yielded a good 
crop when Cuthbert and Gregg were both 
frozen to the ground. In vigor of growth 
Cumberland stands at the head. It forms a 
strong upright bush, throwing up stiff 
stocky shoots, well calculated to bear up 
their immense load of fruit. Fresh fruit 
of the Cumberland has sold for 3 to 5 cents 
per quart more than could be secured for 
Gregg, and 6 to 7 cents per quart more than 
could be secured for Ohio on account of 
its superior size. 15c. each; $1.00 per doz.; 
$2.50 per 100; $15.00 per 1,000.

Kingston Beauty. g£> ™! 
lsmg raspberry is another product of Minne- 
sota. It is a chance seedling which came up 
in a neglected clump, there it showed itself 
of extra importance, producing a great crop 
of red berries. Its growth is of the strongest 
making from 10 to 15 canes from one hill or 
plant, thus needs more room than ordinary 
varieties. Very few thorns, practically 
thornless, and after the first year makes 
strong upright growth, wood ripens well, 
leaves staying on late and very hardy bearing 
after the severest winters, an immense crop 
of fine rich, plump berries. The berries are 
large, light red, with an agreeable, pure, rich 
flavor, which is brought to its highest per- 
fection when canned, season rather late, and 
they hold on well. 
This is certainly the most remarkable plant 
in cane growth ever introduced. It is a 
strikingly beautiful bush to look at. and this 
remarkable cane growth is extremely hardy. 
The thermometer registered 40 degrees below 
zero the winter of 1903, and it withstood this 
severe test without apparent injury. Its 
productiveness is all that could be desired. 
It will produce twice the amount of fruit of 
any other red sort. Color of berry is brighter 
than Columbian; a little more acid in flavor; 
berry rounder, of the same size of larger. It 
is doubtless the best of its kind ever intro- 
duced. I Sc. each; $1.50 doz.; $8.00 100.
