New Purple Cap 
SODUS 
A new purple cap originated by the New York Ex- 
periment Station. It is extremely vigorous, hardy and 
drought resistant. In our experimental plots Sodus has 
surpassed all others in growth of cane and in produc¬ 
tion. The berries are large, firm, medium purple in 
color, sprightly and good in quality. It ripens shortly 
after Latham. All indications are that Sodus will be 
widely planted as fast as stock is available. We have a 
limited number to offer this year and we recommend 
them highly. Prices on page 16. 
Sodus Purple Cap 
Potomac Purple Cap 
An introduction by the United States Department of Agriculture. In our 
trial plots the past three years POTOMAC has surpassed in yield all other 
Raspberries excepting Sodus. In spite of the unfavorable weather condi¬ 
tions of 193 3 and 1934 which played such havoc with ordinary Raspberries, 
Potomac came through without winter covering and produced a heavy crop 
of fine fruit. It is unusual to have a purple cap that can endure our northern 
climate without covering. 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 anthrac- 
nose and to our knowledge has never shown any traces of mosaic. Prices

Alfred Blackberry 
Alfred Blackberry 
Alfred is rapidly becoming popular. The large jet 
black berries are sweet and juicy and are often V/2 
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.

Blackcap 
Cumberland 
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 16.
