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. 
Marcy—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 espe- 
cially noteworthy for the very large berries, vigor and productiveness of 
the plants. 
Milton—is a late variety for market and home use. The berries are large,. 
long conic, resembling those of the Taylor in size and shape. They are 
attractive, bright red, firm, not crumbling, mild subacid and good. It ripens 
two or three days later than Taylor and Latham. The plants are vigorous, 
productive and hardy. Milton has remained free from mosaic, in a test 
planting, in the Hudson Valley where numerous other varieties soon 
become infected. This freedom from mosaic is an important reason why 
the seedling was named and introduced for more extensive testing by 
growers. 
Newburgh—is proving 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 dor- 
mant pruning in early spring, since this variety tends to overbear if not cut 
back. This should improve the picking quality somewhat, 
Taylor—is the most promising red raspberry on the Station 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. Taylor is more subject to mosaic than Newburgh, and the neces- 
sary control measures for that disease should be followed. The sturdy 
canes hold the berries well off the ground. The berries ripen shortly before 
subacid and of excellent quality. They do not cling to the bush as tightly 
as Newburgh. 
PURPLE RASPBERRIES 
Marion—introduced in 1937, as a very large, late, purple raspberry to follow 
Sodus. The berries are very large, holding up well in size through the sea- 
son, moderately juicy, firm, tart, and good in quality. They tend to cling 
to the bushes, but not sufficiently to be seriously objectionable. Marion
