BLACKCAPS 
CUMBERLAND 
The leading black raspberry. The fruit grows in large clusters, is of fine 
appearance, firm and maintaining a good size even under adverse conditions. 
Canes are thrifty, vigorous and as healthy as any blackcap we have grown. 
Does well on both heavy and light soils, but like all blackcaps is best on a 
sandy soil with lots of water. 
MUNGER 
A hybrid of the Cumberland, introduced in Oregon several years ago. The 
berry resembles the Cumberland closely. 
BLACKBERRIES 
TEXAS 
One of the most outstanding of the upright or cane type blackberries. Fruit 
is early, large, black, firm and stands up well. Vines are very upright. 
HIMALAYA 
A very rank grower, trellis type, coming in later than most blackberries 
except Evergreen. Fruit is medium size, juicy, black, and grows in large 
clusters. Will grow in most types of soil and under most growing conditions. 
MAMMOTH 
Quite a popular berry for home use, especially in hot dry sections. Not a 
prolific bearer in the Northwest. Fruit is large and firm. 
EVERGREEN 
A rank trellis type grower coming in late, during September. A heavy yielder, 
medium size in the Northwest.: Being replaced by the Thornless Evergreen. 
MACATAWA 
An upright type. Fruit is uniformly medium size, very sweet and firm. One 
of the better mid-season blackberries.
