WASHINGTON RASPBERRIES, STILL A NUMBER ONE 
RASPBERRIES 
TAYLOR 
A New York introduction standing very close to the top as a home and 
commercial berry. One of the largest of all raspberries grown. Bushes are 
vigorous growers and strongly disease resistant. The fruit is long cap, firm 
and easy to pick. A berry that will please any family for home use. 
LLOYD GEORGE 
An older variety which is being replaced by healthier strains. A heavy 
yielder with upright canes. Still one of the best berries to freeze. 
Plants are victims of an uncontrollable virus disease which causes them to 
begin to dwarf-off and make the canes shorter after they are 4 to 6 years 
old and this variety is therefore being replaced by newer and healthier ones 
like the New Washington and Taylor. 
CUTHBERT 
The leading berry in the West for many years which is being replaced i in the 
Northwest by the New Washington, a healthier variety. 
NEW WASHINGTON 
The number one raspberry in the West with us, replacing the Cuthbert in 
Washington and Oregon following introduction by the Western Washington 
Experiment Station a few years ago. More resistant to winter freezing than 
Cuthbert, it is fully immune to attack by the Western Yellow Rust disease. 
Mosaic disease spreads very slowly. It is.a heavy yielder with fruit as large 
or larger than the Cuthbert. A long cap berry with the sweetness of the 
Cuthbert. 
The canes are very healthy and do well on both sane and heavy soil. Will 
not stand wet or poorly drained soil.
