averaging in size. slightly 
larger than most red Rasp- 
berries. It is immensely pro- 
ductive, bearing over a pe- 
riod of two to three weeks, 
to supply you with fresh ber- 
ries for your table use, at a 
time when few other fruits 
are in season. In flavor and 
quality it ranks with the 
very best. Due to the yellow 
color, which does not attract 
birds as much as red, there 
are practically no losses by 
birds. Golden Queen is hard- 
ier than any of the red Rasp- 
berries, and as hardy as the 
Black varieties. Supply very 
limited.

One of the newer Blackberries, 
Alfred originated in the North, and 
recommended for its special hardiness. 
Does not require winter protection any- 
where. Alfred is slightly earlier than El- 
dorado; in production, size and quality of 
serries there is very little difference. Al- 
fred is a strong grower and should be cut 
back to 2% feet as soon as the new canes 
reach that height. This promotes better 
branching, and consequently heavier pro- 
duction the following year. Same price as 
Eldorado. 
BEATRICE, NEBRASKA 
Because of 

Cumberland, the best of the extra hardy 
Black Raspberries. 
Black Raspberry 
It can safely be said 
Cumberland {itn ie ine hes 
iest of all Raspberries. Black Raspberries 
are naturally hardier than the red varieties, 
and require practically no winter protec- 
tion through the Midwest. In the North a 
protected place or a mulch of straw over 
winter can be recommended. Cumberland 
is a most reliable and abundant bearer, 
with large, black, very firm berries. Good 
for market as well as for the home garden. 
More and Better Berries ‘1! °° 
the soil along your berry rows is cultivated 
in early spring, after frost is out of the 
soil, and the soil can be worked. When soil 
is quite poor, and needs fertilizing, use 
poultry litter or well rotted barn manure. 
Apply it in late fall, but not to be in con- 
tact with the canes. Raspberries do well 
on most any soil. Blackberries like low 
ground, or plenty of moisture. For fruit, 
quick and in big quantity and fine quality, 
plant more of our berries.
