CUMBERLAND— O n e of the 
largest black raspberries known; 
its immense size, firmness and 
great productiveness entitles it 
to first consideration. Unusual¬

hardy. The most valuable pro¬ 
fitable raspberry grown for home

cap ripening a full week ahead of 
Cumberland. The fruit is of high qual¬ 
ity and full size; free from crumbling.

leading varieties of the Reds. The

most disease-proof. Try a few of this

new red variety. Cumberland
