Each year sees Indian Summer, an introduction of the New York State Agricultural Experiment S 

PROLIFIC 
tation, forging steadily to the front. 
The New York State Fruit Testing Association considers this variety decidedly superior to other everbearing sorts in the trade. It produces 
two full crops a year, one im June and July, and another in autumn. The berries are large, conical, medium red, rather soft, good quality. 
Our experience has shown indian Summer is also much more disease-resistant than many other sorts. 
two-crop Raspberry, plant Indian Summer either for home or for local market. 
The New York State Agricultural Experiment 
Station Says 
“Indian Summer, the first autumn fruiting variety of any merit that 
has fruited at this station, is a distinct type, wholly unlike and much 
superior to known varieties. The quality is good and the season is very 
early. The fall crop commences in mid-September continuing until 
stopped by hard frosts in early November. The bulk of the crop is 
borne in October. The plants are above medium height, vigorous, bear 
heavy crops, and are hardy at Geneva, New York.” 
Disease Resistant 
Dr. George L. Slate, of New York Agricultural Experiment Station, 
says, regarding Indian Summer’s resistance to disease: “The plants do 
not become infected with mosaic even when grown near diseased plants 
under conditions favorable for transmitting this disease.” 
Two Crops a Year 
The outstanding feature of Indian Summer is, of course, the two crops. This makes 
it an ideal home berry furnishing fresh fruit over twice as long a period as ordinary 
Raspberies. It is a little soft for long shipments but is ideal for local markets and has 
been a money maker for those fortunate enough to have commercial plantings. __ 
The early crop ripens a week or 10 days ahead of ordinary Raspberries, beginning 
the last of June and extending well into July. The autumn crop commences in mid- 
September and continues until frost. 
Thrives Even in Canada 
The Dominion Experimental Station, Morden, Manitoba, Canada, says: “Tndian Sum- 
mer, a new variety produced at the New York Station, showed considerable hardiness, 
having only slight tip-killing during winter. The fruit ranked high in cooking test and 
as fresh fruit.”’ 
For a hardy, disease-resistant, 
Hardy—High Quality—Heavy Cropper 
Dr. George L. Slate says of Indian Summer: 
bear as heavy or heavier crops than most varieties. 
hardy in New York. The berries are large and of good quality. 
‘“When well grown the plants 
The variety is satisfactorily 
The fall crop 
is rather late in Northern States, but matures soon enough to be profitable in 
the western part of this State.”’ 
Mr. A. L. Shuttleworth, of the Sunnyside 
Fruit Farm at Silver Creek, New York, one 
of New York State’s outstanding fruit grow- 
ers, has had the Indian Summer under ob- 
servation for some time. Mr. Shuttleworth 
says: “I have been growing the Indian Sum- 
mer Red Raspberry since its introduction by 
the New York Fruit Testing Association 
and have found it to be by far the most 
profitable Red Raspberry to grow if prop- 
erly cared for. I have found it to be very 
hardy and a vigorous grower, while the 
fruit is of fine quality. A yield of five tons 
of fruit (660 24-pint crates) to an acre has 
been harvested from the summer crop here 
at my place.”’ 
Mr. H. H. Walrod of Clear Lake, Iowa, 
a prominent Iowa fruit grower, said of the 
Indian Summer in the Minnesota Fruit 
Grower magazine: ‘‘We like the Indian 
Summer everbearing Raspberry. We have 
grown this variety commercially for five or 
six years and we find it comes on early 
when the prices are best and it is gone 
about the time of the mid-season slump in 
prices. Here, the Indian Summer stands 
the winter about as well as the Latham or 
Taylor and it yields just as much per acre.”
