HIGHEST QUALITY 
WIDELY ADAPTED 
@ Best Variety for Home Planting. Thrifty in Growth—Very Productive. @ 
The first step in successful fruit culture is to 
secure strong disease-free plants. 

Suggestions for Successful 
Raspberry Growing 
1. Plant dependable disease-free stock. 
2. Maintain proper isolation from other diseased 
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 New- 
burgh or Marcy Red Raspberries are sufficiently 
disease resistant that they can be planted side 
by side. 
4. Any plant 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. 

B : t | is an excellent quality berry, large, glossy 
risto and attractive. The bushes are hardy, 
vigorous and bear very heavy crops of the most de- 
licious fruits. Although a comparatively new variety, 
Bristol has already taken a high ranking place among 
the best of the Blackcap Raspberries for both home 
and commercial planting. 

PRICES—-BLACK RASPBERRY PLANTS 






Has Rapidly Gained Popularity as 
BRISTOL The Best Midseason Blackcap. 
Commercial growers from the New York and Michi- 
gan berry sections, down as far south as Oklahoma, 
highly praise this Bristol. It has proven to be very 
thrifty in growth and most productive and the very 
highest quality of all Blackcap varieties. We have 
found it to be widely adapted and producing heavy 
crops even in the semi south and southwest where heat 
and leaf spot are ruinous to other kinds. 
Unexcelled for Pies, Canning and Freezing. 
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 thé 
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. 
Old Bluegrass and Alfalfa sods, if plowed under a 
full year in advance of berry planting, provide an 
ideal soil condition.
