WILLAMETTE RED RASPBERRY 
Willamette is a very large berry, dark red, delicious flavor, 
highly productive and easy to pick. It is very meaty and juicy, and 
it appeals to the buying public on sight on account of its unusual- 
ly large size. Growers prefer it because of its large size, high 
~ yield and ease of picking which reduces picking cost, the fruiting 
spurs standing out, holding the berries out where they are easy to 
reach in picking, having a decided advantage over Washington in 
this respect, although the Washington has a slight edgeover Will- 
amette in flavor. Plantings we saw both in Oregon and in Ventura, 
California, were doing wonderfully well, larger, easier to pick 
and more productive than Washington. This is an outstanding variety 
and you will be pleased with it. 
WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRY 
This outstanding veriety originated in Washington. The berries 
are slightly larger than Cuthbert and have a marvelously delicious 
flavor, being sweet and delicately flavored and lacking the slight 
bitterness sometimes noticed in Cuthbert. It resembles Cuthbert in 
appearance but is firmer and a shade lighter red and a little ear- 
lier than Cuthbert. The harbest lasts several days after the Cuth- 
bert harvest has ended, and the yield is exceptionally heavy. 
Unlike Cuthbert, it is unusually hardy, and not subject to winter 
kill. -Has won high praise from growers in different parts of Calif- 
~ornia, where it is said to yield as well as Cuthbert, which has 
. long been the leading raspberry here. Washington is used extensive- 
ly by quick freezing plants. 
MUNGER BLACK RASPBERRY 
The Munger blackcap is better adapted to California conditions 
than most others. It has been the main commercial blackcap in 
Southern California for some years, with big, juicy berries. 
CUMBERLAND BLACK RASPBERRY 
The Cumberland has been called the finest blackcap on the mar- 
ket. A bulletin of the state College of Agriculture says: ‘‘Cumber- 
land is considered the best black raspberry for the Southwest. It 
has sold well on markets in Southern California. The plant is 
Vigorous and productive but normally yields about 25% less than 
red varieties. The fruit is large, roundish conical, firm and of 
good quality. The season is late and long.“ Blackcaps bring more 
money on the market than red raspberries.
