M FV/ I Of^AN Most dependable Ear- 
INeYT LUUAIN ly Black Raspberry. 
This variety, through sheer merit, has re¬ 
placed very nearly all of the standard kinds. 
The berry ripens one week earlier than Cum¬ 
berland, giving the grower a chance to make 
some real money before Cumberland comes 
into bearing. It is an extra heavy yielder, 
with berries as large or larger than Cumber¬ 
land. 
PLUM FARMER 
Fine grower, free from disease, very produc¬ 
tive. The berry is large, and of excellent 
quality. Plum Farmer ripens very early, pro¬ 
ducing the most delicious fruit in one week. 
Practically the entire crop can be harvested 
in three large pickings, enabling the grower 
to reach an early market, and harvest the 
crop with a minimum amount of labor. 
QUILLEN 
Cumberland 
The Latest Blackcap. Comes into bearing 
after all other varieties are practically 
through. Fruit very large and of fully as good quality and 
texture as Cumberland. Practically immune to mosaic, an- 
thracnose and other serious diseases. This variety shows 
great merit in all sections of the country, and we urge you to give it a triaL 
CUMBERLAND , Largest * u 
Blackcaps and the 
Very Best Midseason Kind. We advise plant¬ 
ing Cumberland as a main crop variety. No 
Blackcap has ever been grown as extens¬ 
ively as Cumberland, nor attained its great 
popularity in all Raspberry-producing sec¬ 
tions of the country. A heavy yielder, berries 
large, rich black in color, fruit firm and of 
delicious flavor. Bush is absolutely hardy, 
vigorous growing, producing plenty of fruit¬ 
ing wood; especially free from anthracnose, 
the common disease of all Raspberries. The 
greatest money-making Blackcap of all time.

Whitten's Black and Purple Raspberry plants are all grown on sandy 
loam, the ideal soil for this purpose, and are given careful attention and 
ample fertilizer, making them vigorous and healthy, ready to start a quick 
growth when transplanted. Our raspberry fields have all had two inspec¬ 
tions this past summer, made by authorized 
>• ** _Michigan State Inspectors, and found free from 
disease. Michigan has the most rigid plant in¬ 
spection of any State, and Michigan-grown rasp¬ 
berry plants are acknowledged the best that 
can be bought.
