n V A OIT H17 \ I TTY We introduced 
DLAVlV A & Black Beauty in 
1932 and recommended it along with New Logan 
as the finest and most profitable combination of 
black cap varieties that it is possible to plant, 
either for commercial or home use. Both show 
very marked resistance to Mosaic and other rasp¬ 
berry diseases. 
New Logan has proven itself to be by far the 
best early variety and now from its showing so far 
we believe Black Beauty will lead all the mid-season 
varieties. _ 
Black Beauty is a promising new black rasp¬ 
berry. Originated on the farm of Ross Cowen, 
a fruit grower in Greene County, Ohio. 
The ability of the new variety to resist the 
dreaded virus diseases was noted by the state 
plant inspector assigned to that section as well 
as by Mr. Cowen. 
Black Beauty is later than New Logan, an¬ 
other relatively new variety which is also highly 
resistant to the virus diseases. The berries are 
large and the quality good. It seems to be pro¬ 
ductive. 
At least the variety should commend itself to 
growers who have had trouble in maintaining 
raspberry plantations on account of disease.

Description of Black Beauty 
1. Growth upright and one of the thriftiest grow¬ 
ing varieties we have ever seen, so that planting 
distance should be Increased to about 4-7 feet. 
2. Hardier than Cumberland. 
3. Fully as productive or more so than a good 
clean field of Cumberland. 
4. Ripens in midseason; berry large, firm, black, 
and with very little greyish bloom. Does not 
crumble. 
5. Quality excellent. 
6. Black Beauty is showing marked resistance to 
Mosaic, curl and the other virus diseases, and this 
is one of its outstanding good qualities. 
7. Freedom from Anthracnose. It was during the 
wet spring of 1929, when all black raspberries In 
Ohio suffered so seriously with Anthracnose, that 
Black Beauty showed up conspicuously by Its com¬ 
parative freedom from that disease.

QUILLEN 
QUILLEN 
This variety has become quite 
prominent because the canes are 
much less subject to Anthracnose than Cumberland 
and other standard kinds. Prof. A. S. Colby, Chief 
in small Fruit Culture, University of Illinois, found 
it In Bridgeport, Ind., and has made close observa¬ 
tion since that time. He states, “The plant Is much 
more resistant to Anthracnose under our conditions 
than any of the other varieties we have. The fruit 
is of medium to large size and at least as good 
if not better In quality than the others we are 
growing. The plant Itself Is about as large as 
Cumberland and we secure a much better crop from 
the fruiting laterals, since the leaves of the Quillen 
hang on better." 
Quillen can now be considered the standard late 
variety of Black Cap to follow Black Beauty and 
Cumberland and can be especially recommended to any 
grower having difficulty particularly with Anthrac¬ 
nose. Our prices are very reasonable on this new va¬ 
riety. Prices, $1.25 per 25, postpaid; $2.50 per 100; 
$10.00 per 500; $17.50 per 1000, by express.
