Knight’s “Pure Bred” Black Raspberries 
Black Pearl. 
Black Raspberries should be set from 3 to Z]/ 2 feet 
in the row and the rows 7 feet apart. As soon as 
growth starts and plants are from 18 to 20 inches 
high, pinch out the top of each cane, which causes 
them to send out laterals and gives a larger fruiting 
surface for the next year. 
Red Raspberries should be set 2 feet in the row, 
and the rows 6 to 8 feet apart. Do not pinch off the 
tips of these, but the rapid growing kinds, such as 
Cuthbert, should be cut back somewhat in the spring. 
After the fruiting season of both reds and blacks, 
cut out the old wood, thus allowing the new stalks to 
make a good growth for the coming season. See prices 
on page 9. 
Black Pearl 
The Best Early Blackcap. 
Year after year this wonderful early blackcap main¬ 
tains its superior value and grows in public esteem. Al¬ 
though originated in Western Missouri, where it is grown 
more widely and more profitably than any other sort, it 
has now been thoroughly tested in every section where 
Raspberries are grown and always with wonderful suc¬ 
cess. Black Pearl ripens from a week to ten days earlier 
than Cumberland and when planted with that grand 
old variety will give you a length of season and quality 
and size of fruit that cannot be produced in any other 
way. It is deeper rooted than any other blackcap and 
for that reason is the best drought resister, often ripening a good crop 
of fruit when the berries of other varieties dry up on the vines. We have 
a good supply of Black Pearl this year and the quality is excellent. 
We urge you to order freely as we know you will be more than pleased 
when fruiting time comes. See prices on page 9. 
Cumberland The Old Standby—None Better 
No Black Raspberry is grown as extensively and none has made as much money for fruit growers 
as Cumberland. Wherever blackcaps can be grown, Cumberland is grown, and with wonderful suc¬ 
cess in all sections. Cumberland plants are healthy, vigorous growers, throwing up stout, stocky, well 
branched canes that produce immense crops of magnificent berries—large, a rich black in color, firm 
and of the highest quality. They 
ripen their fruit in midseason 
and continue in bearing 
for two or three weeks. 
Cumberland is less sus¬ 
ceptible to disease than 
most varieties and if 
planted on well drained 
land and properly culti¬ 
vated, hoed and pruned, 
a patch once established 
will produce profitable 
crops for several years. 
Our Cumberland, as 
well as all other Rasp¬ 
berries, are inspected 
twice each year by the 
State Department of 
Agriculture and you can 
depend upon it that our 
stock is healthy, vigorous 
and true to name. If you 
will take our advice and 
set a good sized acreage 
of Black Pearl and Cum¬ 
berland you will have a 
patch that will be a sur¬ 
prise to your neighbors 
and a pleasure and profit 
to yourself. See prices 
on page 9.
