TAYLOR 
Taylor is the most promising of the new red rasp' 
berries from the New York Experiment Station. The 
plants are strong, vigorous growers and are very heavy 
croppers. The canes are quite upright and carry a load 
well. The berries ripen shortly before Latham, are 
large, bright, attractive red, firm, and of really excellent 
quality. They do not cling to the bushes tightly as 
some varieties but come off readily without crumbling. 
All indications are that Taylor will take a leading place 
in raspberry circles. You will make no mistake to plant 
Taylor this year. Prices are now low enough so you can 
plant liberally. 
INDIAN SUMMER 
Of this new variety the New York Fruit Testing Asso' 
ciation says: “The first falhbearing or so-called ever" 
bearing red raspberry to be named by the Station—is 
decidedly superior to the varieties of its class now in 
the trade, namely Ranere (St. Regis) and the Erskine 
Park'La France group of falhbearing sorts. The berries 
are large, roundish conic, slightly irregular, medium 
red, rather soft, crumble slightly, and are good in 
quality. The summer crop ripens early, or soon after 
the June variety. The autumn crop starts early in 
September and continues until a severe frost, the bulk 
of the fall crop ripening during October. The plants 
are hardy at Geneva, vigorous, above medium height, 
and bear heavy crops. Indian Summer is rather soft 
and dark for commercial purposes, but is well worthy 
of trial in the home garden.” Will probably need some 
winter protection. 
MARCY 
Another very promising New York raspberry is the 
Marcy. Of this the Fruit Testing Association says: “This 
red raspberry was offered for the first time in 1936. 
The berries, the largest of any variety in the Station 
collection, are long'conic, firm, thick'fleshed, medium 
red, mild in flavor and of good quality. The plants are 
tall, vigorous, healthy and hardy at Geneva. The 
sturdy canes which should not need support, bear the 
fruit out in the open, thus facilitating picking. Marcy 
is worth trying for market and for home use, being 
especially noteworthy for the very large berries, vigor 
and productiveness of the plants.” Will probably need 
some winter protection. 
NEWBURGH 
Very good reports are coming in from around Duluth 
where Newburgh has done especially well and is 
attracting serious attention. The New York Fruit 
Testing Assaciation, about this variety, says: “Is prov" 
ing to be a very satisfactory berry for market purposes. 
The fruit is very large, very firm, and does not crumble. 
The color is a bright, attractive red; in keeping and 
shipping quality it has no superior. The plants are 
vigorous,'hardy and very productive, the weight of the 
fruit is so great that the canes are often bent to the 
ground. The fruit is borne out in the open where it 
may be readily picked. Under average conditions such 
as prevail in central and western New York, mosaic is 
rarely serious in Newburgh. In season it is three or 
four days earlier than Cuthbert. The canes should be 
cut back about one fourth to one third at the regular 
dormant pruning in early spring, since this variety 
tends to overbear if not cut back. This should im' 
prove the picking quality somewhat.” Will probably 
need some winter protection.
