tion grounds at the present time, and is offered for trial for both market 
and home garden. The plants are usually vigorous, hardy, productive, 
tall-growing and increase rapidly. The sturdy canes hold the berries 
well off the ground. The berries ripen shortly before Latham, are large, 
long-conic, bright attractive red, thick-fleshed, firm, subacid and of ex¬ 
cellent quality. They do not cling to the bush as tightly as Newburgh." 
MAECY —Description by the Experimental Station: "This red rasp¬ 
berry 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 tail, vig¬ 
orous, 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 note¬ 
worthy for the very large berries, vigor and productiveness of the plants”. 
On our grounds the Marcy equals the description as to size of the fruit, 
yet in our climate, which is much colder than at Geneva, it is subject to 
quite severe winter-killing during a severe winter. 
INDIAN SUMMER —A great new everbearing red, proving more sat¬ 
isfactory each year as it is fruited over wider areas, most decidedly 
superior to any of the other so-called everbearing red Raspberries. Rip¬ 
ens its first crop very early, a little ahead of Chief, and another crop be¬ 
ginning in September and continuing until a heavy freeze in late Fall. 
Berries are large, medium red in color and of excellent flavor. Plants are 
tall, thrifty growers, hardy, disease resistant and are of unusual beauty 
and attractiveness. It should be in every home garden and has great 
possibilities as a profitable variety to grow for a nearby market. 
SODUS (Purple)—A cross between Newburgh red and Dundee black 
raspberry. The berries are enormous in size, attractive in appearance, 
delicious in flavor, firm in texture and do not crumble like Columbian. 
Bush is a strong rank grower, very hardy, tremendously productive and 
not so subject to disease as Columbian. 
NEWBUEGrE —Originated a few years ago on the grounds of the 
New York State Agricultural Experimental Station, Geneva, N. Y. After 
fruiting it for several years, they describe it in their 1940-41 Catalog of 
New Fruits as follows: "Is proving to be a very satisfactory berry for 
market purposes. The fruit is very large, very firm, and does not crum¬ 
ble. The color is 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 ia 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, mosaio is rarely serious in Newburgh. In season it is three 
or four days earlier than Cuthbert. The canes should be cut back 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 improve the 
picking quality somewhat”. 
EATHAM —Originated in Minnesota where the winters are very cold.
