Scarff’s Blackcap Raspberries 
New Bristol Raspberry 
A Luxury Within the Means of Every Home 
Our varieties of Black Cap Raspberries are the 
finest you can plant. They meet the high quality 
requirements for the home plantings and are the 
proven money makers for the commercial grower. 
All Raspberries prefer a good well drained 
loam soil high in fertility and the best fruits 
are produced only when plenty of fertilizer, 
high in Nitrogen is supplied. Plant early in the 
spring just as soon as you would plant your 
early onions in the garden. Here in central 
Ohio this is the first of April. Prepare the 
ground carefully and in planting be sure to 
firm the earth well around the roots with loose 
soil over the growing buds, so that the plant 
sets just a little deeper than it was in the 
nursery row. Cut the old woody canes off at the 
surface of the ground. The average planting 
distance for all Raspberries is 3 feet apart in 
6 foot rows. Do not permit the soil to bake or 
crust around the plants at any time. A mulch 
of good clean straw is desirable to hold a good 
even supply of moisture. 
BRISTOL 
Considered the best early if 
not the very best of all black 
Raspberries being grown at Geneva, N. Y. Here is 
an excellent quality berry, large, glossy and at¬ 
tractive. The bushes are hardy, vigorous and bear 
very heavy crops of the most delicious fruits. Al¬ 
though a comparatively new’ variety Bristol has 
already taken a high ranking place among the best 
of the Black Cap Raspberries for both home and 
commercial planting. Order early as our supply 
of plants is limited.

$15.00 per 500 by Express, net preptiid. 
CUMBERLAND 
This standard mid-sea- 
son variety has long 
maintained its position as the best there is in black¬ 
caps. It is the most widely planted va¬ 
riety grown, both for commercial and 
home use. The berries are large, attrac¬ 
tive, conical, firm and of 
the most excellent quality, 
rich and sweet. The plants 
are vigorous, har¬ 
dy, and produc¬ 
tive throughout a 
long picking 
season.

M A pi pc Where a late variety of Black Rasp- 
berries is wanted Naples is proving 
the most satisfactory. The berries are large, firm, 
glossy, attractive and of good quality. 
It is two or three days later than 
Cumberland and a week later than 
Bristol. The plants are vigorous, hardy 
and resistant to An- 
thracnose. Price of 
Naples plants $1.75 for 
' 25 postpaid; $3.00 per 
100; $12.00 per 500 by

SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL 
RASPBERRY GROWING 
1. Plant dependable disease free stock. 
2. Maintain proper isolation from other dis¬ 
eased or wild plants. 
3. It is generally recommended that red and 
black Raspberries should not be grown within 
at least 20 rods of each other. An exception to 
this would be that our Logan Black Cap and 
Newburgh or Marcy Red Raspberries are suffi- 
.ciently disease resistant that they can be planted 
side by side. 
4. Any plants showing any symptoms of disease 
should .be promptly removed and burned. 
5. The entire planting should receive the best 
known cultural practices. 
6. All Raspberry plants are benefited by lib¬ 
eral applications of manure. Sulphate of Amonia 
or other Nitrogen fertilizer. 
7. To maintain clean, bright thrifty canes it 
is usually necessary to spray black cap Rasp¬ 
berries with Lime Sulphur Sol. while dormant for 
the control of Anthracnose, which resembles scale 
on the canes and followed when growth has started 
with L. S. summer strength.

The raspberry and blackberry plants I bought 
of you last year were the best I ever purchased 
anywhere at any price. They are just fine.—C. S. 
Dunbar, Wis. 
Back in 1921 I placed an order with you for 
some fruit plants. I have since had the pleasure 
of seeing this material develop into bearing plants 
and trees—all true to name.

The nursery stock you shipped me has been 
received in splendid condition. I thank you for 
your generosity and promptness.
