Large Size, Excellent Quality, Thrifty Growth 
These good characters along with its comparative 
freedom from the common raspberry diseases make 
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. : 
All Raspberries thrive best in loose, well-drained 
loam soils which contain an abundance of humus. 

















Black Beauty truly a Biue Ribbon variety. 
PLEASE NOTE 
There will be no plants of the Black Beauty 
variety for sale this year, because of conditions 
not within our control. For general home planting 
we suggest you try the Bristol Black Raspberry 
for highest quality of the fresh berries as well as 
for canning, pies and freezing. 

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. 
ene canes are removed immediately after 
arvest. 






Old Bluegrass and Alfalfa sods, if plowed under a 
full year in advance of berry planting, provide an 
ideal soil condition. 
WINTER PRUNING—Blackcaps'~ should __ be 
pruned in late winter. The laterals should be cut 
back very severely to a length of 8 to 12 inch 
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. 
Highest Prices on 
Early Market 
One of the New Logan’s outstand- 
ing characteristics is its resistance 
to the more serious virus diseases of 
raspberries. 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. 
Most Dependable. 
Early 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 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 always 
proven as fresh and free from seedi- 
ness and tendency to crumble as the 
first.
