RASPBERRIES 
The Station has introduced several new raspberries which in some respects 
are definitely superior to the standard sorts in the trade. All of the following 
are offered as well worthy of trial for the purposes indicated. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Bristol—is one of the best black raspberries being grown at Geneva. In sea- 
son it is a week earlier than Naples, which makes it a good variety to plant 
with that sort to lengthen the season, The berries are large, firm, fairly 
glossy, attractive, and of excellent quality. The bushes are hardy, vigorous, 
and bear very heavy crops. Bristol is worthy of extensive trial for market 
and home use. 
Dundee—is a promising new black raspberry notable for its high quality. The 
berries are large, glossy black, attractive, moderately firm, mildly subacid 
and very good. The plants are tall, vigorous, productive, and moderately 
resistant to mosaic. Dundee is well worth trying for market or home use. 
Evans—is another early black raspberry ripening with Bristol that is worthy 
of trial for home use and market. The berries are large, very glossy, only 
moderately firm, and of excellent quality. The plants are vigorous, hardy 
and productive. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
Indian Summer—the first fall-bearing or so-called everbearing red raspberry 
to be named by the Station. The berries are large, roundish conic, slightly 
irregular, medium red, rather soft, crumble slightly, and are good in quality. 
The summer crop ripens early, or soon after the June variety. The autumn 
crop starts early in September and continues until a severe frost, the bulk 
of the fall crop ripening during October. The plants are hardy at Geneva, 
vigorous, above medium height, and bear heavy crops. Indian Summer is 
rather soft and dark for commercial purposes, but is well worthy of trial in 
the home garden. 
Marcy—this red raspberry was offered for the first time in 1936. The berries, 
the largest of any variety in the Station collection, are long-conic, firm, 
thick-fleshed, medium red, mild in flavor and of good quality. The plants 
are tall, vigorous, healthy and hardy at Geneva. The sturdy canes which 
should not need support, bear the fruit out in the open, thus facilitating 
picking. Marcy is worth trying for market and for home use, being espe- 
cially noteworthy for the very large berries, vigor and productiveness of 
the plants. 
Milton—is a late variety for market and home use. The berries are large, 
long conic, resembling those of the Taylor in size and shape. They are 
attractive, bright red, firm, not crumbling, mild subacid and good. It ripens 
two or three days later than Taylor and Latham. The plants are vigorous, 
productive and hardy. Milton has remained free from mosaic, in a test 
planting, in the Hudson Valley where numerous other varieties soon
