10 BRENTWOOD BERRY GARDENS 


WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRY 
This: outstanding variety originated in Washington. The berries are slightly 
larger than Cuthbert and have a marvelously delicious flavor, being sweet and deli- 
cately flavored and lacking the slight bitterness sometimes noticed in Cuthbert. 
Resembles Cuthbert in appearance, but is firmer and a shade lighter red, and a 
little earlier than Cuthbert. The harvest lasts several days after the Cuthbert harvest 
has ended, and the yield is exceptionally heavy. Unlike Cuthbert, it is unusually 
hardy, and not subject to winter kill. Has won high praise from growers in different 
parts of California, where it is said to yield as well as Cuthbert which has. long been 
the main crop raspberry here. Used extensively by quick freezing plants. 
WILLAMETTE RED RASPBERRY 
, This unusually fine berry originated at the Oregon State College at Corvallis. 
We have found this raspberry to have a wonderful flavor, meaty,*juicy and very 
large, being said to be the largest red raspberry. The berries are unusually firm 
and hold up well on standing, as well as after canning and freezing., The season is 
early and long and the yield is very heavy, an Oregon grower saying it far outyields 
the Washington. At Oregon State Experiment Station it outyielded three other leading 
varieties. 5 ah 
CUTHBERT RED BRCARERRY Ss. 
This berry has often been called “Cassberry’”’ here and has long been the main 
crop red raspberry here. It is of good size, good, ee good flavor, good raspberry 
aroma, fairly firm and a fairly good:shipper. nA 
INDIAN SUMMER RED ot 
Like one of its parents, the Lloyd George, this berry bears two ‘crops, a spring or 
summer crop and a fall crop. The quality is good and the season -very early. The 
plants are vigorous, upright, hardy, healthy and productive. The fruit is large, juicy, 
tender, mild subacid. Not subject to mosaic disease and is extremely hardy, even in 
Canada. A grower in this county got a few of these plants two years ago and in the 
fall phoned me that they were wonderful, saying they had grown large: ‘and branched 
‘ out and had a fine crop of large, wonderful, delicious berries, and he wanted 200 or 
250 more; when I got them in he took 900. 
LLOYD GEORGE RED RASPBERRY 
A very excellent raspberry, grown successfully on this Coast for years, and is 
one of the parents of Washington, Willamette and Indian Summer. On this Coast 
it bears two crops a year, like Indian Summer. It is of large size, delicious flavor, 
with small seeds and very fine texture and is very productive. A little too soft for 
long distance shipping, but is one of the finest raspberries for jams, jellies and pre- 
serving, as well as eating fresh. 
LATHAM RED RASPBERRY 
This berry is very popular in the East, where it has become a leading variety, 
and has been liked by commercial growers in California.
