EVERBEARING 
\ Easily the best red “Everbearing”’ Raspberry yet in- 
\ troduced. Originated at the New York Experiment Sta- 
on tion, it is hardy, disease resistant and prolific. 
Y is Berries are large, conical, medium red, rather soft, of 
good quality. Good for local market or home planting. 
Like other ‘‘Everbearing’ Raspberries, it bears two 
crops a year; one in June and July and the other in the 
autumn, starting in mid-September and continuing until 
stopped by hard frosts. The bulk of the fall crop is 
borne in October. 
Indian Summer is one of the heaviest growing plants 
of the red Raspberry varieties listed in this catalog. It 
does well in zones up through IV, and there are many 
favorable reports from Zone V in Minnesota. In the 
balance of Zone V and Zone VI, only small trial plant- 
ings are suggested. See prices below. 

How to Grow Everbearing Red Raspberries 
Everbearing Red Raspberries can be grown in either hill or narrow hedge row systems. Sites 
that face the northeast are preferable if the soil there is well drained. Everbearing berries of all 
sorts require more moisture than one-crop berries, but neither can stand to have wet feet. 
Plants should be firmed well (use your heels) and planted about 2 inches deeper than in the 
nursery. 
Severe pruning, leaving only an inch of the old stem above ground, should ke the rule on 
newly set plants. If planted in the fall, the canes should be covered completely with a few 
shovelfuls of earth. This can be worked down in the spring as soon as the weather is suitable. 
A good strong root system is more important than tops on newly set Red Raspberry plants. 
Raspberry fruits are borne on canes that grew the season before, except the fall crop on ever- 
bearers. Thus it behooves the grower to see that good, vigorous canes are grown each year 
for the next year’s crop. 
Barnyard manures and commercial fertilizers used in combination and in judicious amounts, 
greatly increase the chances for a successful crop. 
Weeds should be kept out of the berry patch. You can’t raise two crops on the same ground. 
Better plant half as many plants, care for them and get as many fruits. 
After harvest of the first crop, the old canes should be removed to give the young ones a chance 
to grow and bear in the fall. 
It is often beneficial to cover canes in the winter by plowing them under a furrow of soil thrown 
from both sides of the row. While these canes are perfectly hardy, a thawing out in midwinter 
is often damaging to both canes and first crop.
