POTOMAC Raspberries 
A BRAND NEW BLUE RIBBON RASPBERRY—Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
Here are the reasons why Potomac is an outstanding 
variety: 
1. It is proving to be the heaviest yielding of all 
raspberries. 
2. Comparable to Latham Red in size and firmness 
of fruit. 
3. Quality is excellent — making an excellent jelly 
without the addition of pectin and 
making a jam supreme. 
4. Vigorous, healthy growth, ex¬ 
ceptionally resistant to Anthracnose 
and Leaf Spot and to our knowledge 
it has never shown any traces of 
the Mosaic disease. 
5. Potomac is far better than 
any other purple raspberry we have 
ever grown. It produced a full 
crop of large normal fruit last sea¬ 
son 1934, when most kinds dried up 
in the heat and drouth. 
6. Hybrid between Farmer Black 
and Newman Red with that extra¬ 
ordinary vigor and fruitfulness 
sometimes displayed by hybrids. 
Potomac is adapted either to the 
red or black raspberry country and 
that means either to the north or 
the south. 
More and Larger Fruit 
than Cumberland 
A fruiting row of Cumberland 
alongside of Potomac showed 10 to 
12 berries on a lateral as compared 
with an average of 20 to 25 berries 
on a lateral of Potomac; and be¬ 
sides, the Potomac has many more 
canes and many more laterals than 
Cumberland. Counting the berries 
in a heaped quart of the two vari¬ 
eties, 360 berries of the Potomac 
filled the measure, while 400 were 
required for a quart of large size 
Cumberland. 
Scarff’s Potomac are genuine. Do not accept a substitute.

Famous Whitesbog Blueberries 
Delicious in Flavor—Profitable—Very Ornamental 
Large clusters of sapphire blueberries; plump, tender, prac¬ 
tically seedless, the size of grapes and far superior to the wild 
Blueberries in flavor. 
They are easy to grow. They beg to be eaten—fresh with 
cream or in any of the multitude of ways in which wild Blue¬ 
berries are served. 
DELIGHTFULLY ORNAMENTAL No shrub is of greater beauty 
the year round than the B.ueberry. During the summer the 
foliage is a deep, rich satiny green, and against this background 
hang clusters of berries royal in their magnificence. The leaves 
are crimson and a bronze in autumn and twigs red in winter. 
In the spring are the pink buds and the white flower bells. 
Price, strong plants, finest varieties developed by U. S. Dep’t 
of Agriculture, $1.60 each; $15.00 per 10, postpaid. 
Two plants should be set to insure cross pollination. We 
will supply two varieties when more than one plant is ordered. 
Whitesbog Blueberries prefer an acid soil containing an 
abundance of peat or other partially rotted vegetable matter. 
They also need a moderate supply of moisture and good 
drainage. If your soil is not already acid this condition may 
be created easily by mixing with the surface soil and a lib¬ 
eral quantity of peaty material such as acid peat, partially 
rotted leaves, pine needles, sawdust or chip dirt from an old 
wood pile. A surface mulch of leaves or straw each year is 
also beneficial to hold an even soil moisture.
