| SUNRISE RED RASPBERRY 
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture says of SUNRISE: 
“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 Ranere, and the better texture 
and quality as compared with Latham.” 









Hardiness and Resistance to Disease 
Dr. Geo. M. Darrow and Dr. J. Harold Clark 
Describe the new SUNRISE Raspberry in U. S. Dept. of Agriculture 
Circular No. 397. SUNRISE is a cross between Ranere and Latham. 
About the hardiness and resistance to disease they say: 
“The SUNRISE has shown resistance to low temperature 
in midwinter, having come through the winter of 1933-34 
at New Brunswick, New Jersey, with practically 
no injury whereas Latham and some other varie- 
ties were severely injured. 
“In the winter of 1938-39 in southern New 
Jersey, the SUNRISE was injured less than either 
Latham or Ranere by a sudden drop in tempera £ so 
ture after a very late growing season. The re i pager 
sistance of SUNRISE to leaf curl and cane dis- ¥ m3 
eases is probably an important factor in its ability * a, 
to withstand low temperature. It has been more —_ a 
resistant than Latham to anthracnose, leaf spot, and 
spur blight.” 
Early Berries and Long Season Make 
Sunrise Ideal Home Berry 
DR. J. HAROLD CLARK, formerly of the New § és 
Jersey Experiment Station writes June 30, 1942: “The 
special value of SUNRISE is its earliness. This year 
it was ready for first picking June 8, Chief on June 
19, and Latham on June 23. Our earliest commercial variety has 
been Ranere which was ready to pick this year on June 15. 
“SUNRISE has a very long picking season here in New Jersey 
because it produces a number of long shoots which come from buds ” 
near the base of the canes which are much later than the fruiting 2 ‘ 
laterals towards the tips of the canes. In most cases SUNRISE will 
continue to produce some fruit even after Latham is practically Better Texture and Quality 
finished. “The drupelets are small, making the berry more attractive than Latham.

pick easily. They are firm, fine textured, juicy, non-crumbly, mild sub- 
acid in flavor with a good Raspberry aroma, and better in quality than 
Latham, and better than Ranere under some conditions.” 
DR. CLARK wrote in a recent issue of the New Jersey Horticultural 
Society News: ““The Sunrise Raspberry created more interest in south- 
ern New Jersey this year than it has any year since it was introduced.
