Large Size, Excellent Quality, Thrifty Growth 
These good characters along with its comparative

Description of Black Beauty 
1. 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 erops of fruit. 







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 plant- 
ing 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 dis- 
tance 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.

Summer Pruning of Black Raspberries 
In order to promote strong stocky plants, the 
terminals of new blackcap canes should be pinched 
out when they reach a height of 18 inches. This 
procedure stimulates lateral growth which will 
produce most of the fruit the following year. 
WINTER PRUNING—Blackcaps'~ should be 
pruned in late winter. The laterals should be cut 
back very severely to a length of 8 to 12 inches 
from the main cane. 
Logan Black Cap 
Highly Resistant to Mosaic and Other Virus Diseases 
Every grower of Black Cap Raspberries should have a good block of this Logan variety. It is the best 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. 
Most Dependable 
Early Black Raspberry 
The Logan is not a new variety here 
in Ohio as it has been grown for a 
aumber 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 heav- 
ier yielder and the glossy - 
black berries are as large - 
‘as that variety. It holds 
well through drought and 
in fact the last picking has nirnes 
proven as fresh and free from seedi- 
ness and tendency to crumble as the 
first. 

















Highest Prices on 
Early Market. 
One of the New Logan’s outstand- 
ing characteristics is its resistance 
to the more serious Virus diseases of 
Taspberries. It seems to outclass all 
other black cap varieties in 
this respect and this is one 
of the primary reasons why 
it has gained popularity 
among the growers who de- 
pend on black raspberries 
for their livelihood.
