Popular Small Fruits 



LATHAM (Red) 



Leads all Red Raspberries in Commercial Planting 

 and Profits to the Grower. 



The new mosiac 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 it 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 long season. 



"We have some af the finest Latham plants we have 

 ever grown this year. 



SUNRISE 



(The New Red Raspberry) 

 COMBINrN G EARLINESS — HARDINESS — QUALITY 



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

 than Latham. Its size is intermediate between Ranere 

 and Latham, but nearer the size of Latham. 



It has been very 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 Avere 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 fiavor 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 towards 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.

INDIAN SUMMER EVERBEARING RED RASPBERRY 

 Size, quality, hardiness and productiveness combined 

 in our greatest New Everbearing Red Raspberry. 



TAYLOR RED RASPBERRY 



DISEASE RESISTANT — HIGH QUALITY 

 HEAVY PRODUTION 



Recommended To Precede Latham 



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 grund. 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 berries 

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



EVERBEARING 



St. Regis Everbearing (Red Ranere) 



The Old Standb.v 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 larger size and surprising quality; sugary 

 with raspberry flavor. 



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 



SENSATIONAL NEW EVERBEARING 

 RED RASPBERRY 



Finest of al everbearing types yet introduced bearing 

 two crops a year. 



High quality — Early Season — Heavier Fruiting — 

 Hardier — More Disease Resistant. 



More satisfactory every year as fruited over a wider 

 area. Many growers planting Indian Summer for one 

 crop variety due to its unusual vigor and productivity. 



Introduced by the N. Y. Experimental Station, who 

 state: "Indian Summer, the first autumn variety of any 

 merit that has fruited at this staion, is a distinct type, 

 wholly unlike and much superior to known varieties. 

 The quality is good and the season very early, starting 

 a day or two later than June varieties. The fall crop 

 commences in mid-September, continuing until stopped 

 by hard freezes in November. The bulk of the crop is 

 ])orne in October." The plants are above medium to 

 tall, vigorous, upright, hardy, healthy, productive. Fruit 

 is large and uniform, maintaining size throughout the 

 season. Roundish-conic in shape, cavity of medium size, 

 smooth, light bloom, color medium red, juicy, tender, 

 mild sub-acid. good. 



From our observations and personal tests we can 

 recommend trial planting in all sections from South 

 Carolina to Canada, feeling that lovers of Red Rasp- 

 berries will find the best in this variety.
