BLACK CAP RASPBERRIES 
BLACK DIAMOND.—In this we have a very superior 
early black cap; one producing fruit of large size, firm 
texture and of high quality with .a prolific cane of strong 
growth and ironclad hardihood. Fruit is almost as large 
as the Kansas and of sweet sugary flavor. Unsurpassed 
for evaporating. Extremely popular in Western New 
York, where it is largely grown. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 
1000 , $ 10 . 00 . 
CUMBERLAND.—After seeing its fruit one ceases to 
wonder why this is in such great demand. It is certainly 
the largest blackcap I have ever grown, and the yield is 
very great. Ihe canes are strong and vigorous, quite in 
accord with the demands of such a large-fruited, abun¬ 
dant bearer, and are unusually hardy. The berries are 
jet black, with little or no bloom; very firm and of excel¬ 
lent quality; sweet and pleasant. Midseason. (See cut.) 
Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 
PLUM FARMER.—“It is the largest, most productive, 
best colored and most attractive black cap in cultivation. 
The plants are models of growth. It succeeds where 
other black caps fail. The fruit is not jet black, but has 
a grayish appearance with bloom. It is very early and 
ripens the bulk of its crop in a short time.” The fore¬ 
going is the description of the introducer. It is no 
longer a new novelty, but has been fully tested. Rapidly 
gaining popularity in New Jersey, where it has proved 
to be one of the very best of the black caps. Doz., 35c; 
100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 
KANSAS.—The most popular black Raspberry for gen¬ 
eral cultivation; and on account of its being so reliable 
with such fine fruit. The canes are of strong growth, 
hardy and wonderfully prolific—(much earlier than the 
once popular Gregg) and the berries do not have the 
Kansas Raspberry. 
objectionable bloom or mouldy appearance of that variety. 
Fruit of large size, jet black, extra firm, sweet and rich 
and excellent. One of the very best shippers. Ripens 
in midseason and matures its great crop quickly. (See 
cut.) Doz., 35c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00. 
HUNGER.'—A variety much prized by some. Its dis¬ 
tinguishing properties are its strong growth of cane, very 
large, globular berries, (which are of exceeding firmness 
and sweetness), and its late season of ripening. Canes 
are hardy and prolific. Doz., 40c; 100, $2.00. 
HOOSIER.—A variety from the west, claimed to surpass 
all others. Its strong points are productiveness and 
hardiness of cane, united with large size, jet blade color 
and high quality of fruit. The originator says it sur¬ 
passes that standard of excellence, the Cumberland, and 
the fruit sells on an average of 25c per quart wholesale. 
Canes never known to have disease of any kind or to 
winter kill. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50. 
Beware of Spurious and mixed 
plants of the St. Regis Everbear¬ 
ing Raspberry. Many, I am 
sorry to say, are being offered. 
The Monmouth Nursery is head¬ 
quarters for this Unrivalled 
Raspberry. «
