“The Dessert Berry of the Nation ” 
The Erskine Park Everbearing 
Red Raspberry 
was 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 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 throughout 
the fall for various dinner parties. 
These berries are commented on by all who have seen and tasted them as the most deli- 
cious and best raspberry they ever have eaten. Mr. Baker of Hoosick Falls, N. Y., writes 
us as follows: 
“In the season of 1916, Mr. George M. Darjow 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 far ahead of the St. Regis and Ranere, and when it 
became known it would replace these varieties. The plant is by far the strongest 
S owing raspberry I have ever seen. It branches like a tree, and it also has the 
rgest and most roots of any variety with which I am acquainted. It is perfectly 
hardy and the berries are very large.” 
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 
November the 20th we cut a large branch of the 
Erskine Park with blossoms, green berries and ripe 
Jruit upon it.
