OTHER POPULAR 
RED RASPBERRIES 
TAYLOR RED RASPBERRY /2@ylo: is 
most 
promising of the new red Raspberries from the New 
York Experiment Station. The plants are strong, vig- 
orous 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, attrac- 
tive 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. Needs winter protection in Minnesota. Prices 
on page 34A. 
MARCY Is a very promising Raspberry originated 
in New York. The berries are extremely 
large, are long, conic, firm, thick-fleshed, good quality. 
The canes are very strong and productive. In Minne- 
sota, Marcy should have winter protection. Price: 30c 
each; $3.00 per doz. 
INDIAN SUMMER 
EVERBEARING 
The New York Fruit Testing Asso- 
ciation considers Indian Summer su- 
perior to other everbearing sorts. The 
berries are large, conical, medium red, 
rather soft, good quality. The summer 
crop ripens early, beginning the last 
week of June. The autumn crop starts 
in September and continues until a 
severe frost. The bulk of the fall crop 
ripens in October. The fall crop does 
not always mature before frost in Min- 
nesota, but it bears abundantly at the 
regular Raspberry season. Indian Sum- 
mer is an interesting sort to have in 
any garden and the fall crop should 
pay commercially below the latitude of 
Minnesota. Prices on page 34-B. Be

Is another New York Raspberry that is 
doing well in many localities. The fruit is 





Indian Summer 
large, very firm, and does not crumble. The color is a bright 
attractive red. It has good keeping and shipping qualities and is 
very productive. In Minnesota, Newburgh needs winter protec- 
tion. Prices on page 34-A. 
CHIEF x*x* Chief is a seedling of Latham and in gen- 
eral has many of the good qualities of 
Latham. The berries are not quite as large as Latham, but Chief 
will yield as many crates per acre—they are just a little slower 
to pick. Chief is of excellent flavor and has definite points of 
advantage over other sorts. Chief seems somewhat more disease 
resistant than other red Raspberries and seems to endure more 
cold without injury. Consequently it can_be successfully grown 
a little further north and under more difficult and trying condi- 
tions. It is an especially good Raspberry for the farm garden 
where it may have to shift for itself more than it would in a 
good commercial planting. 
Another point of advantage in growing Chief is that you can 
get on the market a week to 10 days earlier than you can with 
most other sorts. Our experience is that during that 10 days we 
get from 50c to $1.00 per crate more for Chief than we do after 
the main crop of other Raspberries comes on. 
We strongly recommend Chief for early market, for severe 
locations and for farm gardens. Prices, page 34-A.
