MORRISON BLACKCAP 
® The Outstanding New Late Season Raspberry ® 
A Money Maker For the Commercial Grower and a Berry 
that You Will Be Proud to Produce 
Originated in Northern Ohio as a chance seedling 
by the late Fred Morris 
We quote Mr. Morris: “In fruit is has the biggest black raspberries 
that I have ever seen and I have been growing Cumberland for years 
but they look small beside the Morris (introduced as Morrison). Had 
vines that were 12 years old and still doing well.”’ 
MORRISON is being enthusiastically ac- 
cepted by the commercial growers who have 
seen it. Here is what they say: 
“Not just another Black Cap.’’ 
“Largest Black Raspberry I have ever seen.” 
“The most promising late black raspberry grow- 
ing at the New York Station.’’—Geo. L. Slate. 
“Morrison proving the most outstanding Black 
Cap I have ever seen and I guess I have grown most 
of them.’’ 
“Larger and firmer than Cumberland. Does not 
crumble. Hold their size to the last of the picking 
season.” . 



BEST ADAPTED TO NOTHERN STATES 
Our experience to date (1946) with this New 
Morrison Raspberry, after having it grown in 
many sections of the United States, is that it 
does the best in the northern half of the fruit 
belt—north of Cincinnati, Ohio. Like all other 
black raspberry varieties, it is subject to An- 
thracnose which may be easily controlled by 
spraying. For Central and Southern sections, the 
Bristol Black Cap seems best adapted.

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 pro- 
cedure 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. 




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, but at the same time 
it will assure you of a good substantial growth so 
necessary to establishing the plant for future pro- 




duction.
