'' The Dessert Berry of the Nation ' ' 



The Erskine Park Everbearing Red Raspberry 



The Erskine Park Everbearing Red Raspberry is a seedling from the old 

 reliable Cuthbert, discovered on the VVestinghouse Estate (Erskine Park) at 

 Lee, Mass., by Mr. Edward Norman. This magnificent estate is in the midst 

 of the beautiful Berkshire Hills, with a temperature in winter of 30 or 40 degrees below zero, so that the hardiness of this berry 

 is unquestioned. The estate is surrounded by the summer homes of many wealthy people, and much to the surprise of his 

 neighbor gardeners and not without a deal of personal satisfaction, Mr, Norman furnished large, luscious raspberries through- 

 out the fall for various dinner parties. 



These berries are commented on by all who have seen and tasted 

 them as the most delicious and best raspberry they have ever eaten. 

 Mr. Baker of Hoosick Falls, N. Y,, writes us as follows, regarding 

 this remarkable berry: 



"In the season of 1916, Mr. George M. Darrow of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture was traveling from the Atlantic to the 

 Pacific, visiting fruit growers to obtain information on berries for 

 bulletins published by the Department of Agriculture Mr. Darrow 

 had visited this estate before, and was most favorably impressed 

 that this berry was tar ahead of the St. Regis and Renere, and when 

 it became known it would replace these varieties. The plant is by 

 far the strongest growing raspberry I have ever seen. It branches 

 like a tree, and it also has the largest and most roots of any variety 

 with which I am acquainted. It is perfectly hardy and the berries 

 are very large." 



Of this berry we cannot say too much in praise, and we predict 



that once known, it will be a standard for planting in every garden 

 and considered a necessity. 



rhe Renere and St. Regis have been the standard up to the preseni 

 time In the Erskine Park we have a berry that far surpasses either 

 of these; a raspberry that is a delight to eat, each berry being of 

 largest size, with its delicious melting flesh, full of rich creamy juice, 

 highly flavored and sweet as honey. 



Conceive the joy and satisfaction of having such berries on your table 

 all through the autumn, the source of wonder to your neighbors, that 

 you can pick the finest raspberries until the snow flies. On Xoveinber 

 the 20th we cut a large branch of the Erskine Park with blossoms, 

 green berries and ripe fruit upon it. 



We have not as yet been able to propagate any large quantity 

 of this magnilicent berry, but what we have are the finest Bearing 

 Two-Year Old Plants, heavily rooted and branched that will bring 

 a full measure of pleasure and satisfaction to the planter.
