oe RIDEAU 
_ This variety was bred at Ottawa from the same parents as Marcy 
and Taylor. On good land the cane is very strong growing, resembling 
Taylor but the size drops more on poor land. Though the cane 
growth is good, we find the fruit inferior on the heavier soil types 
where Marcy and Taylor do so well. It is not good on all light soil 
_. but on the right type of good strong light soil it is perhaps the most 
beautiful berry we have ever grown. The fruit is longer and a little 
lighter in color than Taylor and quite a bit earlier. It is much the 
Same season as Viking, Ottawa and Newburgh.

The Great Shipping Raspberry 
was developed at Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, from the cross 
Viking X (Loganberry X St. Regis), so is quarter Loganberry. The 
canes are similar to Viking and bore the most fruit the year planted of 
any variety we have ever grown. It does not produce plants as freely 
aS many varieties. The fruit is round and bright red in color, with small 
druplets, ripening with or a little ahead of Viking. Probably the influ- 
ence of the Loganberry is responsible for the distinct flavor which 
reminds us of the wild red raspberry of Southern Ontario that, in our 
opinion, has the finest flavor of all raspberries. Though the color is 
lighter than that which is usually preferred for a canning berry, it is 
very bright and if there are many folks with tastes like ours, it will be 
much used for canning.

RED RASPBERRIES FROM GENEVA 
The experiment station at Geneva, N.Y., has carried on a very 
2xtensive breeding program on raspberries and cheir new varieties. 
Taylor and Marcy standard reds and Indian Summer everbearing red 
are very superior for Southern Ontario districts. Taylor is probably 
the only one that will do much in the north. They all grow very stout 
canes and prefer the heavier soils. The rows must be kept thin and 
the canes cut back severely. 
MARCY 
The largest of all red raspberries, Marcy, like Taylor, is from a 
Lloyd-George x Newman cross at Geneva. The canes are a little taller 
than Taylor and seem to be quite resistant to Meagaic, but reports so 
far would indicate that it is not dependable so far north as Taylor. 
The fruit is larger, earlier, darker colored and milder flavored than 
Taylor and the same long conic shape. 
TAYLOR 
is another Lloyd George x Newman cross from Geneva, which they 
consider the best late berry on their grounds. It is quite widely 
adaptable and fairly hardy and is at its best on the heavier soils, with 
rows kept thin and cut back well. The fruit is long, conic in shape 
and an attractive medium red color. Under suitable conditions it 
produces good crops of fancy fruit. 
No medium or light stock till fall. 
MILTON 
This variety very closely resembles Taylor in cane and fruit, 
though it does not appear to be as hardy and is slightly later in season. 
The canes are taller than Taylor and are about the finest we have. The 
only year we cropped it, the fruit crumbled rather badly but we have 
seen it elsewhere and it was very fine. It was introduced because of 
its greater resistance to Mosaic. 
NEWBURGH 
is quite early, very large and bears very heavy crops, rather too much 
for the canes to support. It is a Newman X Herbert cross and, like 
Herbert, is very resistant to Mosaic. 
No medium or light stock till fall. 
INDIAN SUMMER (FALL BEARING) 
When we first obtained this variety in the dry years of the thirties, 
we had some excellent fall crops, but of late years the fall crop has 
failed to ripen to any extent before frost. Indian Summer is a good 
grower, and we have not yet seen disease of any kind in it. The 
quality of its fruit is much better, especially the spring crop on the 
heavier soils, and we now consider it of real value only for growing 
on the heavier soils in the more favored districts of southern Ontario. 
VIKING 
Has a splendid stout cane, almost thornless. The fruit is of conic 
shape, bright color, and is considered the best for quick freezing. Since 
its introduction it has been perhaps the most popular raspberry in 
Ontario. /
