the crop ripens over a long season. These characters 
have made June a profitable variety for market growers, 
especially when grown for markets that pay a premium 
for earliness. Fruit is of medium size, roundish, bright 
attractive red. Canes are thornless and bear fruit out 
in the open. Plants are of medium height, vigorous, 
productive and quite hardy.

Indian Summer 
(New Everbearing Red Raspberry) 
A new autumn-fruiting or so-called everbearing red 
raspberry introduced by the New York State Experi- 
ment Station. The summer crop in the Experiment 
Station plots ripens a few days later than June and the 
fall crop starts about mid-September and continues 
until stopped by severe freezing weather in November. 
Fruit is large, round, medium red and of excellent 
quality. Plants are tall, very vigorous, productive 
and hardy. Grows best in a moist, fertile soil. 
The Experiment Station has had some reports, how- 
ever, that in some sections of the State, especially the 
shorter growing sections, Indian Summer has not 
produced well in the fall and for this reason must give 
it a qualified recommendation.
