BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Produce 3200 to 6000 Pints per Acre 
Tremendous yields and excellent profits are a sure tiling for the grower who 
will invest in a patch of Townsend's black raspberries because we leave no stone 
unturned to grow plants that are worthy of the Townsend reputation for ex¬ 
cellence. 
Our customers have learned that the one sure method of stepping up their 
black raspberry production is .to purchase plants which have been thoroughly 
tested and re-tested several times before being shipped to them for re-planting. 
Specialists on raspberry plants inspect our nursery rows three to five times during 
the growing season and carefully remove and destroy all diseased canes so that we 
are assured that our plants, before digging, are absolutely disease free and in 
healthy condition for shipment. We do not even stop at this in our efforts to ship 
you absolutely perfect stock. At digging time, our plants are again carefully gone 
over and re-inspection is also made at the time your order is filled. 
Because of th : s conscientious, thorough method of diseose-prevention, 
you are assured that such stock as you purchase from us will, with 
ii; . "rlPIte*.. normal care after you have planted it, produce as high as 3200 to 6000 
pints per acre, where other plahts which have not had such in*ense care 
may yield only 800 to 1600 pints per acre. You do not gamble with 
Townsend plants. 
CUMBERLAND. In hard iness and production it is unexcelled 
by any other variety; in spite of the enormous size the 
fruit is very firm and will withstand long shipments. Bushes 
very healthy and vigorous; well adapted to supporting their 
large crop of berries. Season of ripening, midseason to late. 
NEW LOGAN. Is an outstanding new Black Raspberry va¬ 
riety; probably its two most noteworthy characteristics are 
that it ripens about a week earlier and is more resistant to 
the virus diseases. A very productive variety and fruit of 
good size and quality. If on early berry is desired it is one 
of the best. It does not crumble. 
PLUM FARMER is considered by large growers to be the best 
early black cap variety; strong vigorous upright grower; 
healthy and very productive. Will withstand drought and 
cold; berries very juicy, large and attractive, ripening its 
fruit very fast, consequently the bulk of the crop is off in 
four or five pickings. 
COLUMBIAN PURPLE. This is the leading com¬ 
mercial variety of the purple type Raspberry. 
Berries are firm, of a dark purple and sprightly 
flavored. A vigorous grower and very produc¬ 
tive. Grown extensively in the following States: 
New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, 
Mass., and Conn.
