Black Raspberries 
HOW TO GROW THEM. The soil should be well drained, and not too heavy. 
Prepare the same as for any other berry plants, and plant in early spring. Should be 
planted in rows 7 feet apart, and about 3 feet in the row, which requires 2,000 plants 
per acre. Por home use and in the garden they may be planted closer. Get the roots 
well below the surface and cut off the old stock a few inches from the ground. When 
the new growth reaches a height of about 18 to 24 inches, cut off the tip, which will 
cause them to throw out lateral branches, and stay more upright. The following 
spring, before leaf growth starts, trim all lateral branches back to about 8 inches in 
length, and leave about four good stalks to a hill. When through fruiting, cut out and 
burn all old fruiting canes. 
CUMBERLAND 
Cumberland Black Raspberries have been a standard for years in judging other 
black raspberries, in fact more Cumberlands are planted than all other varieties com¬ 
bined. They are noted for flavor, size and productiveness, and always bring top price 
on the market. Cumberland has never failed to produce a big crop for us but one 
year, and that was caused by a very late freeze, but many latent buds brought some 
fruit. We have sold thousands of Cumberland Raspberry plants in the past and they 
give perfect satisfaction because they are healthy, heavily rooted, and fresh dug. We 
never dig our Raspberry plants in the fall because they often become heated in 
storage and fail to give good results for the planter. Try them—we guarantee satis¬ 
faction. 
PRICE: 100 for $2.00; 1,000 for $13.50, not prepaid. 
NEW LOGAN 
New Logan is one of the newer varieties but has been grown in Ohio for several 
years. The canes and berries resemble Cumberland in many respects. The advantages 
of this variety over others is that it is a week earlier than other varieties and is the 
most disease resistent of all. Those who have marketed know the advantage of earli¬ 
ness in any product—it brings a much higher price than the later varieties. The ber¬ 
ries are large, jet black, and most delicious. Our advice to you is to grow some Logan 
along with Cumberland and profit by their earliness. 
PRICE: 100 for $2.25; 1,000 for $15.00, not prepaid. 
KANSAS 
This variety originated in Kansas and is one of the earliest Black Caps. It is be¬ 
ing grown extensively in some parts of the country, but we recommend it highly for 
any locality. One of the advantages of this variety is it is very hardy and can be 
grown in any climate—it will not freeze back and has withstood temperatures of 30 
degrees below zero without injury. They do not bear as heavy as some varieties, have 
a short fruiting season, but the berries are of immense size, very black and as sweet 
as sugar. 
PRICE: 100 for $1.50; 1,000 for $12.00, not prepaid. 
PLUM FARMER 
An extra early variety that produces well in favorable years. Plants are very 
healthy, unusually free from disease. The berry is gravish-black, very firm and attrac¬ 
tive. Plum Farmer is extra early and always brings top prices. It tends to produce 
too many berries, especially for dry seasons. 
PRICE: 100 for $1.50; 1,000 for $12.00, not prepaid.
