BLACK RASPBERRIES RED RASPBERRIES 
A Short Harvest and a Long Price 
From Spring Until Fall 
For many years it has been thought 
that Black Raspberries could not be 
successfully grown in Southern Cali¬ 
fornia. Now, this is an error, because 
we have been growing them for 15 years. 
It is true that you have to select your 
varieties carefully to get those adapted 
to our climatic conditions, and it is also 
true they do not produce as heavily here 
as other varieties of berries, but since 
they sell readily for about twice as 
much money, they are profitable to grow. 
They do best on rich, heavy land, with 
an abundance of water and fertilizei', 
and they do better in our colder sec¬ 
tions rather than the warmer sections 
of Southern California. If you like 
Black Caps try a row of Hunger or 
Black Logan, or both. You will enjoy 
them. If you are raising berries for 
market, and have the conditions men¬ 
tioned above, plant some Black Caps. 
They are always in demand here at high 
prices. 
Munger —We have grown this variety 
several years now, and have found it 
quite well adapted to Southern Cali¬ 
fornia conditions, and without a doubt 
the largest and finest fiavored Black 
Raspberry we have ever seen. The fruit 
is never dry and seedy, as is the case 
with some varieties here. Growers from 
the East and Northwest who have seen 
our Munger Black Caps on display tell 
us they are just as fine as any they are 
able to grow in those sections where 
Black Caps grow wild. Try this Black 
Cap, and you will like it. 
Prices Prepaid—Each 15c, 10 for $1.00, 
25 for $2.00, 50 for $3.50, 100 for $5.00, 
1000 for $40.00. 
Black IiOgan —This is another good 
blackcap and one well adated to Cali¬ 
fornia conditions. The plants of this 
variety which we got from the east last 
year have done wonderfully. The fruit 
is not quite as large as that of the Mun¬ 
ger but the quality is excellent and the 
vines are such thrifty vigorous growers 
that we recommend it, especially if you 
have had trouble with other blackcaps. 
Prices Prepaid—Each 15c, 10 for $1.00, 
25 for $2.00, 50 for $3.50, 100 for $5.00, 
1000 for $40.00.

Raspberries are usually not very suc¬ 
cessful in the very southern states. 
California Surprise —This is the earli¬ 
est, the finest flavored, and one of the 
most productive raspberries for south¬ 
ern California. The crop starts ripening 
about May first and lasts until June 
15th. The fruit is medium sized, very 
juicy and rich flavored. As the early 
bird catches the worm, so also, the early 
raspberry brings the high price. Many 
thousands of dollars worth of California 
Surprise are marketed on our local mar¬ 
kets each spring before other varieties 
are ripe. Recommended particularly for 
Southern California. 
Plant all of the varieties of red rasp¬ 
berries two feet apart in the row and 
space the rows six feet apart. 3000 
plants per acre. 
Prices—Prepaid—Each 10c, 10 for 80c, 
25 for $1.50, 50 for $2.50, 100 for $3.50, 
1000 for $25.00. 
Part of a Cluster of Cuthhert Baspherry 
Cuthbert. (The fruit of this variety 
is called Cassberry on the L. A. market.) 
For the main, mid-season crop, this va¬ 
riety is grown by the commercial grow¬ 
ers in Southern California in preference 
to all other varieties. With proper care 
It bears an abundant crop. The fruit is
