BLACK RASPBERRIES 
HOW TO GROW THEM. The soil should be well drained, and not too heavy. 
Prepare the same as for any other berry plants, and plant in early spring. Should be 
planted in rows 7 feet apart, and about 3 feet in the row, which requires 2,000 plants 
per acre. For home use and in the garden they may be planted closer. Get the roots 
well below the surface and cut off the old stock a few inches from the ground. When 
the new growth reaches a height of about 18 to 24 inches, cut off the tip, which will 
cause them to throw out lateral branches, and stay more upright. The following- 
spring, before leaf growth starts, trim all lateral branches back to about 8 inches in 
length, and leave about four good stalks to a hill. When through fruiting, cut and burn 
all old fruiting canes. 
CUMBERLAND 
Cumberland black Raspberries have been a standard for years in judging other 
black raspberries, in fact more Cumberlands are planted than all other varieties com¬ 
bined. They are noted for flavor, size and productiveness, and always bring top price 
on the market. Cumberland has never failed to produce a big crop for us but one 
year, and that was caused by a very late freeze, but many latent buds brought some 
fruit. We have sold thousands of Cumberland Raspberry plants in the past and they 
give perfect satisfaction because they are healthy, heavily rooted, and fresh dug. We 
never dig our Raspberry plants in the fall because they often become heated in storage 
and fail to give good results for the planter. Try them — we guarantee satisfaction. 
PRICE: 100 for $2.00; 1,000 for $13.50, not prepaid.

This variety originated in the hardy climate of Minnesota and is without doubt 
the most popular red raspberry grown. It is a strong, sturdy grower, healthy canes 
and foliage. Latham holds its shape, does not crumble, and has a most delicious flavor. 
Excellent for table use and jams. Those who are looking for a market berry will find 
Latham superior to all others. We guarantee our plants strictly true-to-name and free 
from disease.
