crumbly, mild subacid in flavor, with a good raspberry aroma 
... and better in quality than Latham and better than Ranere 
under some conditions. The berries ripen in New Jersey about 
two days before Ranere. In size they are intermediate between 
Ranere and Latham, but nearer the size of Latham. 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 
athe and the better texture and quality as compared with 
atham.”’ 
_ At the New Jersey Experiment Station in 1942 the first pick- 
ing of Sunrise was on June 8 and the first picking of Ranere 
was on June 15. 
Here is an outstanding red raspberry which you should 
plant if you can get the plants. Plants of Sunrise are very 
scarce this season. ORDER EARLY.

WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRY 
Northern Grown Plants 
This new variety was originated at the State College of 
Washington and is a cross between Cuthbert and Lloyd George. 
The State College of Washington Popular Bulletin No. 153 
Says, in part: “ .. . The berries are sweet and delicately 
flavored, lacking the slight bitterness sometimes noticed in 
Cuthbert. In size they average slightly larger than Cuthbert, 
though the size decreases as the harvest season progresses. In 
conic shape, smooth outline, and small seeds, the berries re- 
semble Cuthbert, but the Washington is a little more firm and 
its color a shade lighter red. It begins to ripen two or three 
days after the first picking of Cuthbert and the harvest season 
continues for several days after the Cuthbert harvest has 
ended. As with Cuthbert, the berries of Washington are borne 
in large clusters on long laterals, are well exposed and easily 
picked. The yield is exceptionally heavy. Experiments at the 
U. S. Frozen Pack Laboratory, Seattle, indicate that the 
berries are well adapted to freezing and canning. ... The 
superior hardiness of Washington results from the fact that 
the canes and buds show no tendency to the late fall and 
winter growth that often makes Cuthbert canes and buds 
susceptible to freezing injury.”
