 and assure yourself of an increased income for many years. 



RED RASPBERRIES 



LATHAM (R®d)« Tnis variety has prov- 

 en its merits as being the lead- 

 er of all red raspberries. It is a very heavy 

 producer of large uniform berries, a very at- 

 tractive red in color being unusually firm, with 

 very good shipping qualities. Its proven abi- 

 lity for l^eavy producion of high quality fruit 

 has placed it as the most profitable red rasp- 

 berry. 



CHIEF (Red). This new early variety 

 is a strong rival to Latham, hav- 

 ing out-produced them in a few tests, it ripens 

 about 10 days earlier. You will have a heavy 

 producing berry patch by planting Chief for 

 an early, and Latham for mid-season. Growth 

 is hardiest of all varieties, very vigorous and 

 productive. Berries a good size, of even bet- 

 ter quality than the Latham, a beautiful red, 

 and firm enough to stand long shipments. 



NEWBURG < Ked >- A New Red Ras P 



berry that has shown to be 

 practically immune to mosaic. Originated by 

 the New York Experimental Station at Gene- 

 va. Is a cross of Newman and Herbert. The 

 plants are vigorous, hardy and productive, in 



■ft/TZlTPfV (Red). Introduced by N. Y. Exper- 

 ivlrUX^s X iment station in 1936. It came to 

 our attention first by the large size of the fruit, 

 and since its introduction the enormous size of the 

 berries, its hardiness and vigorous healthy growth 

 has proven it to be probably the best red rasp- 

 berry yet introduced. The plants are tall, very 

 hardy and vigorous, very resistant to diseases, 

 the canes are large, holding their fruit up well 

 even without support. Marcy berries are medium 

 red, long conic in shape, very large and firm, have 

 a mild flavor and excellent quality, their firmness 

 and thick flesh make them excellent shippers. 

 Where large size, high quality and firmness is de- 

 sired we suggest Marcy. 



fact the weight of the fruit is so great the 

 canes are often bent to the ground, making 

 supports necessary. The fruit is very large, 

 firm and does not crumble, is superior to La- 

 tham in quality and ripening a few days be- 

 fore Cuthbert. Is a bright red in color. New- 

 burgh is unsurpassed in keeping and shipping 

 qualities. Try them this year. 



NEW TAYLOR (Red >- A ver y valuable 

 new red raspberry de- 

 veloped by the New York Experiment Station. 

 The plants make a strong growth, and are very 

 productive of large bright red fruit that does 

 not turn dark after picking or when overripe. 

 This is a very desirable characteristic for the 

 commercial grower. The fruit ripens late in 

 the season and is of excellent flavor. An out- 

 standing variety that merits a thorough trial. 



ST. REGIS EB - < Red >- The most profit- 

 able of the everbearers ; fruit 

 is bright red, of good size and quality. Fruiting 

 season is very long, fruiting on the old canes 

 until late August, then the young ones will be- 

 gin bearing, and will continue until hard 

 frosts. Makes a hardy growth which is re- 

 sistant to virus diseases. 



INDIAN SUMMER KU^SSSg 



from N. Y. Experiment Station, is proving very 

 satisfactory with both home garden growers and 

 the large commercial planters. Its popularity is 

 becoming more widely spread each year as it be- 

 comes better known. Indian Summer makes a 

 vigorous growth about medium in height, and is 

 very hardy, the berries are delicious, slightly ir- 

 regular in shape of medium red color, firm enough 

 to stand shipment fairly well, are very large in 

 size and makes a very attractive package, i'he 

 summer crop ripens very early, fall crop starts in 

 September and will continue until freezing weath- 

 er. Be sure to include Indian Summer in your or- 

 der this spring. 



BLACK RASPBERRIES 



r , TTMT*FRT HMTi (Black). This variety has 

 OUlVlD£inii/\l>ll^ been the favorite with 

 growers, being more widely planted than any other 

 black raspberry because of its productiveness, and 

 high dessert quality. Berries are very large and 

 firm, ripens in mid-season. Makes a very hardy 

 growth. 



(Black). A new early varie- 

 ty that is very resistant to 

 all virus diseases. It is a very heavy producer of 

 large handsome black berries that hold their size 

 and freshness well throughout the season. Ripens 

 about a week ahead of Cumberland, all berries 

 ripen in a short period, thus you will have heavy 

 pickings instead of light pickings over a long sea- 

 son. A very hardy grower of long canes, that will 

 probably do best if topped in early spring. 



NEW LOGAN 



NEW SODUS 



** *■ ■■ PURPLE 



A new purple raspberry developed by the New 

 York Agricultural Experiment Station. Makes a 

 strong vigorous growth, and is very productive of 

 large, delicious, deep purple berries, which do not 

 crumble even when very overripe. Excellent for 

 canning or dessert use. Sodus is very drought re- 

 sistant, and is one of the largest and most product- 

 ive purple raspberries.
