New Bristol Blackcap 
Gaining OPEL as the Best of all Black Raspberries 
New Bristol Raspberry 
Early Planting is Best 
All Raspberries prefer a good well drained loam 
‘soil high in fertility and the best fruits are pro- 
duced only when plenty of fertilizer, high in Nitro- 
gen 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 desir- 
able to hold a good even supply of moisture. 


Healthy—Hardy—Vigorous grower. A tre- 
mendous producer of the highest quality 
fruits.

though a comparatively new variety Bristol has al- 
ready taken a high ranking place among the best

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 Blackcap 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. All Raspberry plants should be set very 
early in the spring. Better have us reserve your 
planting stock now and we will send to you at 
proper season. 
6. All Raspberry plants are benefited by lib- 
eral applications of manure, Sulphate of Am- 
monia or other Nitrogen fertilizer. 
7. To maintain bright clean thrifty canes and 
control Anthracnose use Dry Lime Sulphur 10 
pounds to 50 gallons water. Spray each spring 
while still dormant on buds just beginning to 
show green. When the tip plants are first set 
out cut off the old stems to the ground. 
Cumbe vi an d This standard mid-season blackcap has long maintained its position as the best there 
is. It is still the most widely planted variety grown, both for the market and for home 
use. It is adapted to a wide range of climate and will do well any where blackcaps can be grown. The appear- 
ance and quality of the fruit is superior to any other variety.. Cumberland berries will sell at a premium if 
you maintain its inherent high quality by keeping your planting in a vigorous healthy growing yee aie
