mercial Planting 
More Berries per Acre 
LARGE SIZE, EXCELLENT QUALITY. 
THRIFTY GROWTH 
Thsee good characters along 
with its comparative freedom 
from the common raspberry di¬ 
seases make Black Beauty truly 
a Blue Ribbon variety. 
Description of Black Beauty 
1. Growth upright and one of the thriftiest grow¬ 
ing varieties we have ever seen, so that planting 
distance should be increased to about 4x7 feet. 
2. Hardier than Cumberland. 
Blooms over quite a long season and thus escapes 
many disastrous early spring frosts. 
3. Fully as productive or more so than a good 
clean field of Cumberland. 
4. Ripens in mid-season; berry large, firm, black, 
and with very little greyish bloom. Does not 
crumble. 
6. Quality excellent. 
6. Black Beauty shows some very marked resistance 
to the common raspberry diseases and even under 
mild infection the plants continue to make a thrifty 
growth and produce good crops of fruit. 
Logan Black Cap 
Highly Resistant to IVIosaic and Other Virus Diseases 
Every grower of Black Cap Raspberriee should have a good block of this Logan variety. It ie the beet 
early Black Cap grown in Ohio and yields as heavy a crop as any midseason variety. It withstands dry, 
hot weather better than other Black Caps.

We think the Black Beauty is a wonderful 
Raspberry, good strong growers and free or near¬ 
ly so from Raspberry troubles that we have had 
to fight in other varieties. The quality is excellent. 
This past winter the canes came through in better 
condition than other varieties. The severe frost 
when our berries were in bloom did not hurt the 
Blaek Beauty as badly as it did our other va¬ 
rieties. I wish you could get down and see our 
two blocks of Black Beauty. Mr. Beck (Nursery 
Inspector) said he never saw their equal. 
We picked 150 crates of fruit (Black Beauty) 
from block of 2000 plants set over near the house. 
Must have lost 25 to 30 crates on account of 
rains. These Black Beauty are as large and 
sweeter than Cumberland and ripen a few days

RESISTANT TO CURL AND OTHER 
RASPBERRY DISEASES 
One of the New Logan's outstanding 
characteristics is its resist¬ 
ance to the more serious 
virus diseases of raspber¬ 
ries. It seems to outclass all 
other black cap varieties In 
this respect and this is one 
of the primary rasons why 
it has gained popularity 
among the growers who de¬ 
pend on black raspberries 
for their livelihood. 
We have a fine lot of 
New Logan tips to offer for 
early spring.

Most Dependable 
Black Raspberry 
The Logan is not a new variety 
here In Ohio as It has been grown for 
a number of years In one of our 
largest commercial berry 
sections. Among these 
growers this variety 
through sheer merit has 
replaced other standard 
kinds until at present 
more than three-fourths 
of the plantings are New 
Logan. The berry ripens 
one week earlier than 
Cumberland; it is a 
heavier yielder and the 
glossy black berries are 
as large as that variety. It holds 
well through drought and in fact the 
last picking has always proven as 
fresh and free from seediness and 
tendency to crumble as the first. 
NEW LOGAN BLACK RASPBERRY 
The New Logan black raspberry is displacing Cumberland in some areas in Indiana. Earlier ripening has 
meant higher prices for the fruit. The New Logan begins ripening almost a week earlier than Cumberland. 
Higher average yields of New Logan have been reported also. This has been true especially in drought 
seasons, due in large measure to the earlier ripening but in part to the result of somewhat higher resist¬ 
ance to anthracnose and to drought conditions. Add New I^gan to the next planting of raspberries.—
