SMALL FRUITS 
RASPBERRIES 
CUMBERLAND—After growing and testing a 
large number of Blackcap Raspberries during 
the past years, we find that this variety is far 
ahead of any in its class. The fruit is black 
and large, with a rich flavor, and the canes are 
exceptionally free from disease, and is a vig- 
orous grower. The crop is all ripened within 
a few days, making it a valuable market sort. 
We are now growing only this variety of 
Blackcap.

Black Raspberries 
LATHAM—After growing this variety we find it 
to be the largest and finest red berry we have 
ever had on the grounds. It originated at the 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm, and is now 
recognized at the best of all the reds. It was 
first sent out as Minnesota No. 4. It is of ex- 
traordinary large size, bright red color and ex- 
cellent flavor, and the fruiting season lasts 
over six weeks. While most of the red rasp- 
berries are inclined to winter-kill at times, 
this variety has proven extremely hardy in the 
far north. The large size, fine flavor and hardi- 
ness puts it ahead of any kind yet introduced. 
The canes are very strong and sturdy and 
stand up well.

INDIAN SUMMER—One of the finest of .new 
red raspberries. Fruits are large, firm in tex- 
ture and keep their color when canned or 
quick frozen. Indian Summer makes an ideal 
berry for the home garden because the plants 
bear a heavy crop during the early summer 
and then bear another lighter crop in the fall.

STRAWBERRIES 
Strawberries will produce more fruit to the 
square rod and in less time than any other 
fruit we can grow. They grow wild in every 
section of the country from Alaska to Florida. 
It has always been a mystery to me why so 
many people do not raise this most refreshing 
and early fruit. A few square rods will pro- 
duce all that one family can possibly use. 
PREMIER—This is the most popular early early 
strawberry of the day. The berries are very 
large, long pointed, light red in color and pre- 
sent a good appearance in the basket and in 
market. No other early strawberry is anything 
near equal to it in productiveness.

quire as many plants to set a row as other 
kinds.
