OHIO SMALL FRUIT IMPROVEMENT 
ASSOCIATION REGISTERED 
BLACK RASPBERRY PLANTS 
This association offers only Cumberland and 
Plum Farmer plants. 
Keep these few points in mind. Freedom 
from disease, the most essential factor in the pro¬ 
duction of raspberries. Parent planting inspected 3 
to 5 times by a specialist from the Ohio State Ex¬ 
periment Station. Virus diseases (the most destruc¬ 
tive) cut to a minimum. Crown Gall practically 
eliminated. Graded and packed under the super¬ 
vision of the Association Standards Committee. 
Cumberland 
The best blackcap under average conditions. 
The berries are large, attractive, conical, firm and 
of excellent quality, sweet and rich; they hold their 
size well throughout the long picking season. The 
plants are hardy and very vigorous and productive. 
Plum Farmer 
Valuable for starting your season earlier. In 
the East sometimes considered better than the Cum¬ 
berland. The berries are large, attractive, broadly 
rounded and firm, of good quality. The plants are 
vigorous and very hardy; productive, especially at 
the first two or three pickings. Often planted with 
the Cumberlands. 
Our main work is still in connection with the Ohio 
Small Fruit Improvement Association and are proud to 
offer their Registered grade of Cumberland and Plum 
Farmer Blackcaps. We guarantee all black-cap stock 
bearing the registered tag to have come from plantings 
inspected and passed for registration by this Association 
the proceeding year. 
Limited as we are with space, our descriptions are 
brief and we have eliminated cultural directions. State, 
United States and Association bulletins are available in¬ 
cluding both descriptive and cultural directions and ad¬ 
vise a study of them before ordering. We especially 
recommend Ohio Experiment Bulletins 444 and 454 on 
strawberries and raspberries. These can be obtained by 
addressing them at Wooster, Ohio. We solicit corres¬ 
pondence regarding cultural directions and varieties. 
Our prices are low, in keeping with the time. As¬ 
sociation plants are only half the price of 1931. With 
rather poor growing conditions during the early summer, 
strawberry plants are not plentiful and are priced as low 
as possible under our conditions. 
Cost of plants are only a small nart of the expense 
of starting a raspberry or strawberry patch. Cheap 
plants are many times the most expensive. 
Our business depends on repeat orders. If we can¬ 
not give you good plants, packed to arrive in good 
growing condition, at a reasonable price, we are not en¬ 
titled to your business. This we have done in the past 
and will endeavor to do the same with all orders re¬ 
ceived. 
Yours Truly,
