ZILKES 
NEW BRISTOL 
BLACK RASPBERRY 
LARGE, SWEET, JET-BLACK, ALMOST SEEDLESS 
Bristol is one of the best black raspberries being grown 
at Geneva. We believe this new variety compares very 
favorably with the new Morrison, in some localities has 
proven far superior. Bears very heavy crops of large, 
glossy-black berries, fruit is large, sweet, jet-black, near- 
ly seedless, excellent quality. The bushes are hardy, 
vigorous growers, healthy, strongly resistant to the usual 
raspberry diseases. Bristol is considered a top quality 
blackcap that is widely adapted in all raspberry sections, 
rapidly coming to the top among commercial growers and 
gardners. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ONE OF 
THE BEST BLACK RASPBERRIES, YOU SHOULD 
BY ALL MEANS, TRY THE NEW BRISTOL. YOU 
WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

BLACK RASPBERRY 
Bigger, More Profitable 
Here is a better black raspberry for both home and 
market use. Morrison has now been widely tested and 
has proven head and shoulders above other varieties in 
most every way. Commercial growers say: “Largest 
blackeap I have seen.” “Practically disease free.” “Larg- 
er and firmer than Cumberland. Does not crumble.” 
“Holds its size to the last of the picking season.” “For 
two years it has brought more than other varieties on 
the Pittsburgh market.” | 
A county agent says: “The Morrison is somewhat the 
most attractive berry I have seen in several states. With 
us the berry ripens slightly later than Cumberland, is 
considerably larger, very dark and glossy and sells at a 
premium at all times.” 
The big bushes are exceptionally vigorous, hardy grow- 
ers; long lived, and are practically disease free. 
Morrison berries are high flavor, firm, juicy, not so 
seedy, and the size averages almost an inch across. They 
hold up longer, out yield other varieties and MAKE 
MORE MONEY FOR THE GROWER. For prices see 
page 24. 
Why Zilke’s Certified 
Raspberries Are 
Better 
Zilke’s Raspberries bear young- 
er and live longer not only be- 
cause of superior quality, but also 
because every plant is healthy. 
Two rigorous inspections are 
made by Michigan Department of 
Agriculture Plant Inspectors dur- 
ing the growing season. That is 
why our plant fields are kept dis- 
ease free. Then at digging and 
grading time they are carefully 
inspected for root disease and 
final inspection when packed.
