EXTRA EARLY — 
THE NEW 
SUNRISE 
RED RASPBERRY 
U. S. Dept. of Agri. says of SUNRISE 
“Of most importance from the standpoint of the practical grower per- 
haps, are the hardiness and resistance to disease of the plants, the earliness 
and larger size of berry as compared with Ranere, and the better texture 
and quality as compared with Latham.” 

Hardiness and Resistance to Disease 
Dr. Geo. M. Darrow and Prof. J. Harold Clark 
Describe the new SUNRISE raspberry in U. S. Dept. 
of Agriculture Circular 397. SUNRISE is a cross between 
Earliness and Large Size 
Quoting further from U. S. Circular 397 about SUN- 
RISE: “The berries ripen in New Jersey about two days 
before Ranere. In size they are intermediate between 
Ranere and Latham but are nearer the size of Latham.” 























Ranere and Latham. Official records of picking dates show SUNRISE to be 
10 to 16 days earlier than Latham. 
SUNRISE is 
Easy to Grow 
About the Hardiness and Resistance to Disease they 
say: ~The SUNRISE has shown resistance to low tem- 
perature in midwinter, having come through the winter of 
1933-34 at New Brunswick, New Jersey, with practically 
no injury whereas Latham and some other varieties were 
Easy to Pick 
severely injured. Easy to Eat Easy to Sell 
In the winter of 1938-39 in southern New Jersey, the Ged 
SUNRISE was injured less than either Latham or Ranere ; Ke. 
by a sudden drop in temperature after a very late growing ar . 
season. The resistance of SUNRISE to leaf curl and cane he em, 
diseases is probably an important factor in its ability to 
withstand low temperature. It has been more resistant than 
Latham to anthracnose, leaf spot, and spur blight.” 

Brings Top Price on Market >: 
MR. W. C. BLACK, a prominent New Jersey fruit as AE 
grower, has been fruiting SUNRISE and has had it Wie 
under observation for several years. He says under date 
of July 15, 1940: “SUNRISE is as early 
as Chief and almost as large as Latham. 
It is of much better quality than either and 
the berries do not crumble even when 
picked before fully ripe. Early pickings 
from SUNRISE brought 25c a pint.” 
Better Texture and 
Quality 
U. S. Circular 397 de- 
scribes the quality of SUN- 
RISE as follows: The drupe- 
lets are small, making the 
berry more attractive than 
Latham. The color is bright 
red but turns dark red on ripening 
. the berries pick easily. They 
are firm, fine textured, juicy, non- 
crumbly, mild sub-acid in flavor with 
a good raspberry aroma, and better 
in quality than Latham, and better § 
than Ranere under some conditions.
