Popular Small Fruits 



LATHAM (Red) 



Leads all Bed Raspberries in Commercial Planting: 

 and Profits to the Grower 



The new mosaic free, hardy red raspberry. Without 

 question Latham is the most profitable Red Raspberry 

 for commercial planting. It is absolutely hardy. It 

 cannot be surpassed in productiveness, out-yielding 

 even Cuthbert. Due to its rich, brilliant red color it 

 sells readily on market stands, and in addition is a de- 

 lightful table berry and almost perfect for canning. 

 The berries are large, round and unusually firm, excep- 

 tionally well suited for shipping to distant markets. 

 It ripens evenly over a very long season. 



We have some of the finest Latham plants we have 

 ever grown this year. 



SUNRISE 



(The New Red Raspberry) 

 COMBINING EARLINESS— HARDINESS— QUALITY 



This new berry is said to ripen 10 to IG days earlier 

 than Latham. Its size is intermediate between Ranere 

 and Latham, but nearer the size of Latham. 



It has been more resistant to anthracnose, leaf spot, 

 cane blight, and the resistance shown is probably one 

 of the important factors in its ability to withstand low 

 temperatures. In New Jersey where the variety has 

 been given extensive tests the Sunrise has come through 

 low temperatures with practically no injury, whereas 

 Latham and other varieties were severely injured. 



U. S. Circular 397 describes the quality of SUNRISE 

 as follows : "The druplets are small, making the berry 

 more attractive than Latham. The color is bright red 

 but turns dark red on ripening — the berries pick easily. 

 They are firm, fine textured, juicy, non-crumbly, mild 

 sub-acid in flavor with good raspberry aroma, and bet- 

 ter in quality than Latham and better than Ranere un- 

 der some circumstances." 



SUNRISE has a long picking season because it pro- 

 duces a number of long shoots which come from buds 

 near the base of the canes which are much later than 

 laterals toward the tips of the canes. In most cases 

 SUNRISE will continue to produce some fruit even 

 after Latham is practically finished. 



We recommend SUNRISE for trial in all sections 

 where Red Raspberries do well. Sunrise is replacing 

 Chief in many home and commercial plantings.

* TAYLOR RED RASPBERRY 



Introduced by N. Y. Experimental station fall season 

 of 1935. This beautiful berry should have the consid- 

 eration of every commercial raspberry grower. 



The plants are vigorous, hardy, productive, tall grow- 

 ing and make new plants rapidly. The sturdy canes 

 hold the berries well off the ground. The berries ripen 

 shortly before Latham, are large, long conic, bright at- 

 tractive red, thick fleshed, very firm, sub-acid and of 

 excellent quality being superior to Latham. The ber- 

 ries do not cling to the bush and carry well to markets. 

 Cannot supply more than 50 plants to a customer this 

 year. 



> MARCY RED RASPBERRY 



Hardy, Strong: Canes, Immense Berries, That Don't 

 Crumble Are Making MARCY A Favorite 



Introduced by N. Y. Experimental Station fall 1936. 

 Said to be the largest of all Red Raspberries. 



The berries are very large, conic in shape, firm, 

 thick fleshed, medium red, mild in flavor and of ex- 

 cellent quality. The plants are tall, vigorous, healthy, 

 hardy. The sturdy canes usually do not need support, 

 bear fruit out in the open which facilitates picking. 

 The MARCY is worthy of planting for home use or 

 commercial markets. Its immense size of berry, unus- 

 ual vigor and productiveness should make this one of 

 our great commercial berries of the future. Cannot 

 supply more than 50 plants to a customer this year. 



EVERBEARING 



RED RASPBERRIES 



St. Regis Everbearing (Red Ranere) 



The Old Standby of Everbearing Raspberries 



The outstanding everbearing variety. It gives a crop 

 of fruit all summer and autumn, fruiting on the old 

 canes in generous quantities until late in August. By 

 this time berries begin to ripen on the young canes and 

 continue until late in autumn. Berries are a bright 

 crimson, of large size and surprising quality; sugary 

 with raspberry flavor. Without an equal and the de- 

 pendable everbearing Raspberry. 



The spring crop ripens before other varieties, and in 

 the South where it is grown extensively it yields a very 

 heavy crop early and few berries in the fall. Noted for 

 its disease resistance and ability to crop when planted 

 in sandy soil. A fine market berry for all sections. 



INDIAN SUMMER (Everbearing) 



Proving more satisfactory each year as it fruits over 

 wider areas. Many are planting Indian Summer as a 

 one crop variety because of its vigor, large size, fine 

 flavored berries and ripening before Chief. 



Introduced by the N. Y. Experimental Station recent- 

 ly the Indian Summer seems to be meeting with gen- 

 eral favor wherever planted. It is well adapted to home 

 use and nearby commercial markets. The berries are 

 much larger than any other so-called ever-bearing rasp- 

 berry, roundish conic, slightly irregular, medium red. 

 not too firm, crumble slightly and are excellent quality. 

 The summer crop ripens very early, before Chief, the 

 autumn crop from September on to frost. The plants 

 are hardy, vigorous, about medium height, and bear 

 heavy crops. Cannot supply more than 50 plants to a 

 customer this year.
