CUMBERLAND 
A long-time favorite because of the large, high-qual- 
ity berries and high productivity. Still most popular 
Where raspberry diseases can be eosify controlled. 



CUMBERLAND This variety has been 
the standard of all 
Blackcap Raspberries for a long period of years and 
still is the choice of both the home and commercial 
growers who understand its weakness and keep their 
plantings in full vigor. The berries are large and of 
the very highest quality. 
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. 
Fruiting canes are removed immediately after 
harvest. 
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. 
All Raspberry plants offered this year are State 
Certified after two inspections by the State De- 
partment of Agriculture as being apparently free 
of all insects and diseases. ; 
We sincerely regret that the Ohio Small Fruit 
Improvement Association did not produce any 
registered plants this year.

In planting these Bearing Age Raspberries it 
is important to cut the tops back to within 10 
or 12 inches of the ground. This may reduce 
the quantity of fruit produced the first year 
put at the same time it will assure you of a 
good substantial growth so necessary to es- 
tablishing the plant for future production.

WHICH VARIETY TO PLANT 
1.. For home ‘use we unhesitatingly recommend the 
Bristol for all sections where Black Raspberry plants 
may be grown. 
season. 
2. Commercially, Logan is the best and most profit- 
able early variety; Cumberland and Bristol compete 
for the midseason, the former being more subject to 
the various raspberry diseases. Morrison stands head 
and shoulders above all later varieties. It is proving 
a moneymaker and superior for roadside and commer- 
cial markets.

Scarff’s Nursery Stock 
@ All State Inspected @ 
Each year a Deputy Inspector from the Division of 
Plant Industry spends several days carefully examin- 
ing al] plants and trees growing in our Nursery. Any 
traces of disease or injurious insect pests are imme-

In the Nursery Business 
Since 1889 Scarff’s Nursery has been growing and 
supplying Fruit Trees, Berry Plants and other Nursery 
Stock to well-satisfied customers in every section of 
the United States and with a few shipments to such 
distance as South America and the European coun- 
tries. Long years of experience have taught us how-to 
pack and care for this type of stock to reach our 
customers in good growing condition. 
Each year we carefully revise our variety lists to 
include only those which are proving most satisfac- 
tory and at the same time discontinuing those which 
have been surpassed in quality or performance by the 
newer and more improved kinds. 
It must be remembered, however, that there are 
still no “perfect” varieties in any class of fruit— 
those which can be planted and forgotten about until 
they produce abundant crops of fruit. You must give 
them the care, cultivation, culture and protection that 
you would any other garden or field crop. This eata- 
log contains many cultural suggestions and aids, 
along with the plants offered. Other directions with 
spray schedules are listed in our booklet ‘‘Successful 
Planting” which is mailed on receipt of each nursery 
order. We also suggest that you write your State 
Experiment Station for their literature and informa- 
tion on any special problems you may have.
