The Erskine Park 



Everbearing 



Red Raspberry 



is a seedling from the old reliable Cuthbert, discovered on the Westinghouse 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 Ranere and St. Regis have been 

 the standard up to the present 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 de- 

 licious melting flesh, full of rich 

 creamy juice, highly flavored and sweet 

 as honey. 



On November the 20th we cut a 

 large branch of the Erskine Park with 

 blossoms, green berries and ripe fruit 

 upon it. 



Mr. Baker of Hoosick Falls, N. Y., 

 writes us as follows, regarding this re- 

 markable berry: 



"In the season of 1916, Mr. George M.Dar- 

 row of the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture was visiting fruit growers to obtain in- 

 formation on berries for bulletins published by 

 the Department of Agriculture. . Mr. Darrow 

 was most favorably impressed that this berry 

 was far ahead of the St. Regis and Ranere. and 

 when it became known it would replace these 

 varieties. The plant is by far the strong- 

 est 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."
