Black Raspberries 
A Short Harvest and a Long Price 
built up to a high 
state of fertility. 
They should not be 
planted on soils 
that contain much 
alkali. 
If your soil and 
water conditions 
are such that you 
can supply these 
simple require¬ 
ments it will pay 
you to grow some 
blackcaps. If you 
sell your berries 
wholesale there is 
always an insist¬ 
ent demand for the 
fruit and if you 
retail your berries 
customers will 
come a long ways 
for your black 
raspberries and 
will buy other va¬ 
rieties while there. 
Add a few Munger 
blackcaps to your 
order and have the 
finest. If you have 
more than you can 
use you will like 
the price they bring. 
Munger — Al¬ 
though this variety 
is still compara¬ 
tively new in this 
section we have 
fruited it four 
years and it is the 
finest blackcap 
that we have ever 
tried here. The 
bushes are larger 
and the fruit is 
larger and finer 
than any other va¬ 
riety we have ever 
tried. Our new 
plantings will be 
Munger, for it 
seems to be better 
adapted to our cli¬ 
matic conditions 
MUNGER BLACK RASPBERRY than other kinds. 
In 1933 Mr. James 
Cole of Cypress, Calif., got Munger 
blackcap plants from us and in summer 
(1934) he sold from nineteen rows 250 
feet long a little over $500.00 worth 
of berries. These were all sold wholesale 
and his average price was $1.20 per tray 
of twelve baskets. If you have some 
good strong land and plenty of water try 
this berry; we are anxious to see you 
make money with it. If you are planting 
for home use you might just as well 
have the very best, for they cost so 
little. This is a good one and you will 
like it. 
Prices Prepaid—Each 15c, 10 for $1 00,

Raspberries are usually not very suc¬ 
cessful in the very southern states. 
For many years it has been thought 
by most growers in Southern California 
that the black raspberries would not 
grow here. It is true that our climate 
is not nautrally suited to their growth 
and that they do not grow and bear as 
profusely as Youngberries and blackber¬ 
ries do, but it is also true that the ber¬ 
ries will sell for just about double the 
price of most other berries, so that the 
grower does not have to get nearly so 
large a crop to make just as much money. 
We would not advise anyone going 
into the berry business to make their 
whole planting black raspberries, but we 
do believe that the berry grower who 
plants none is not taking advantage of 
all of his opportunities. 
The blackcaps do best on good strong 
land, and need plenty of water and 
a reasonable amount of manure or 
other fertilizer. Heavy land is usu¬ 
ally better than our lightest soils 
unless the light soils have been
