. SODUS • 
THE MOST PROMISING NEW LARGE 
PURPLE RASPBERRY. A very large attrac¬ 
tive berry. Firm, sprightly and good quality. 
Picks easily and does not crumble. Plants 
are hardy, vigorous, very productive of 
heavy annual crops which ripen shortly 
after Latham. 
HEAVIEST YIELDING— To our knowledge 
Sodus and Potomac are the heav¬ 
iest yielding of all Raspberries and 
if picked at the right stage they 
have an attractive color which brings 
a high market price. 
DROUTH RESISTANT— Sodus with¬ 
stands drouth, heat and other ad¬ 
verse weather conditions and comes 
through with a crop when 
most varieties of Raspberries 
fail. We highly recommend it 
as a berry for home planting, 
local markets; and for com¬ 
mercial canning we believe it 
will competely replace Colum¬ 
bian, long the favorite but 
now badly diseased and a sec¬ 
ond rate berry in comparison 
with Sodus.

■yiADIAM Introduced in 1937 by the N. Y. 
Exp. Station as a very large, late 
purple Raspberry to follow Sodus in season of rip¬ 
ening. The berries are very large, holding up well 
in size throughout the season, moderately juicy, firm, 
tart and good in quality. The fruits tend to cling to 
the bushes but not so much as to be objectionable. 
The plants are vigorous, bear heavy crops, are hardy 
and tend to resemble a red Raspberry in appearance. 
Marion is the largest of all the purple Raspberries 
and possibly the largest of all raspberries we offer. 
Price Marion plants, 12 for $1.25; 25 for $1.85, 
postpaid; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000 by Ex¬ 
press, not prepaid. 
POTOMAC 
A NEW BLUE RIBBON RASPBERRY 
Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
Here are the reasons why Potomac is an outstand¬ 
ing variety: 
1. It is proving to be one of the heaviest yielding 
of all raspberries. 
2. Comparable to Latham Red in size and firmness 
of fruit. 
3. Quality is excellent—making an excellent jelly 
without the addition of pectin and making a jam 
supreme. 
4. Vigorous, healthy growth, exceptionally resist¬ 
ant to Anthracnose and Leaf Spot and to our knowl¬ 
edge it has never shown any traces of the Mosaic 
disease. 
5. Potomac is far better than any other purple 
raspberry we have ever grown. 
6. Hybrid between Farmer Black and Newman Red 
with that extraordinary vigor and fruitfulness some¬ 
times displayed by hybrids. Potomac is adapted either 
to the red or black raspberry country and that means 
either to the north or the south. ■ 
Scarff’s Potomac are genuine. Do not accept a sub¬ 
stitute. Price, Potomac 1-yr plants, 20c each; $1.25 
per 12; $2.00 per 25 postpaid; $4.00 per 100; 
$85.00 per 1000 by express. 
HYBRID RASPBERRIES MOST VIGOR¬ 
OUS —We consider Sodus about the fin¬ 
est of all Purple Cap Raspberries and 
these Hybrid or purple types are always 
more vigorous and productive than either 
of their parents, the reds or blacks. 
THE NEWER RASPBERRIES 
We do not wish to confuse our customers by 
listing so many of these new varieties of Red and 
Purple Raspberries, Most of them have been in¬ 
troduced by the N. Y. Agricultural Experiment 
Station as a result of their extensive work in 
I plant breeding and testing of small fruits. We 
I have fruited these varieties here in our nursery, 
have seen them in fruit at the Geneva Station 
I and finally have visited and talked with some 
! of the best commercial growers who have fruited 
them. The varieties listed we consider the finest 
I Raspberries we have ever seen from not only the 
standpoint of quality and size of the fruits but 
also their good plant characters and disease re- 
|sistence. Very briefly we consider Sodus the best 
all around purple Raspberry, Marion is larger 
in size and a beautiful berry—offered this year 
to follow Sodus in season and for those who 
want the very largest fruits. 
Of the Red Raspberries our first choice Is 
Marcy as an all around berry. Taylor is a close 
second and the fruits are a more striking red 
than Marcy but some growers seem to think it 
! not quite as hardy, disease resistant or possibly 
quite as thrifty a grower. 
Indian Summer is a great new Everbearing Red 
I far superior to any other variety of this type. 
We are happy to be able to offer these new 
and superb varieties to our customers this year 
i and we believe you will be really amazed at the 
fine crop of very large delicious fruits that they 
; produce.
