Registered Disease Free 
- Raspberry Plants - 
Grown by the Ohio Small Fruit Improvement Association 
The production of “registered disease free Black¬ 
caps” Is one of the outstanding steps in horticul¬ 
tural advancement during recent years. The setting 
of strong healthy disease free plants is one of the 
first essentials in starting a profitable raspberry 
plantation. To our knowledge these plants grown by 
the Ohio Small Fruit Improvement Association and 
distributed by Scarff’s Nursery are the only ones 
available from any source in the U. S. that are “Reg¬ 
istered Disease Free Stock." 
THE BEST COMMERCIAL GROWERS find their 
greatest profits in setting and maintaining disease 
free Raspberry patches. 
There is too much at stake for them to plant any¬ 
thing but the best. 
Through this registered stock you are given the 
opportunity to secure the finest and cleanest Rasp¬ 
berry plants available from any source—and at new 
low price. 
The Planting of Registered 
Disease-Free Raspberry 
Plants Insures 
1. Better stands 
2. Better yields 
3. Long lived plantations 
4. Larger and better flavored fruit 
5. More profits 
6. Satisfaction 
At the urgent request of the leading raspberry 
growers, the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, 
the United States Department of Agriculture, and 
the Extension Department of the Ohio State Univer¬ 
sity cooperating, started experimentation nine years 
ago to determine if it was possible and practical to 
produce virus disease-free raspberry plants. This 
work was made necessary by the fact that many 
raspberry growers, both large and small, were being 
forced out of business by "runnlng-out" diseases. 
It was found that by starting with disease-free 
plants and that by using proper isolation, vigorous 
roguing, and frequent critical inspections, plants 
could be maintained in a state of high vigor and 
productivity. The growers, cooperating in this 
work, organized themselves into the Ohio Small Fruit 
Improvement Association in order to better enforce 
the high standards of inspection and roguing neces¬ 
sary. This association now has ready for distribu¬ 
tion a quantity of registered disease-free plants 
of the Plum Farmer and Cumberland varieties. As 
work progresses additional varieties will be added to 
this list. The Scarff’s Nursery is cooperating with 
this project In distributing these plants.
