New Purple Cap 
POTOMAC 
MOST PRODUCTIVE OF ALL RASPBERRIES 
A remarkable introduction by the United 
States Department of Agriculture. In our trial 
plots the past three years POTOMAC has sur- 
passed in yield all other Raspberries. In spite 
of the unfavorable weather conditions of 
1933 and 1934 which played such havoc 
with ordinary Raspberries, Potomac came 
through without winter covering and pro' 
duced a heavy crop of fine fruit. It is urn 
usual to have a purple cap that can endure 
our northern climate without covering. Po' 
v tomac is starting a new era in the Rasp' 
berry growing of the north. You can now 
very profitably raise purple caps. 
You will be delighted with the splendid 
vigor of the bushes and the great loads of big 
berries. Potomac is exceptionally resistant to 
anthracnose and to our knowledge has never 
shown any traces of mosaic.

Alfred Blackberry 
Alfred is ranidly becoming popular. The large jet black berries are 
sweet and juicy and are often 1 Yi inches long. It is called the coreless 
blackberry. Alfred is a strong vigorous grower and has stood 30 degrees 
below zero without injury when other varieties were killed to the ground. 
For best results in the North we recommend winter protection. It is about 
a week to ten days earlier than Eldorado and more productive. Prices

Cumberland 
Cumberland is a good old stand-by. The fruit is 
medium in size and of fine flavor. It is a heavy crop' 
per and very dependable especially when the canes 
are laid down and covered with earth during the 
winter time. Cumberland has stood the test of time 
and probably is still the most widely planted of all 
blackcaps. Prices, page 8.
