ROBSON’S CERTIFIED RASPBERRIES 
Raspberries are a delicious fruit that can be easily grown in the 
home garden. The plants do well on a variety of soils and will 
produce over a period of 10 to 12 years if given a little care. We 
have carefully selected the varieties listed below as being the best 
now available. Our plants are grown from certified parent stocks 
and all of our plants have been certified by state inspectors to be 
free from virus or other diseases and pests. A copy of the certif- 
icate is attached to each shipment. 
Both 1 and 2 year plants are offered as noted; the 2 year plants, 
being larger, may produce some fruit the first year. Red rasp- 
berry varieties are listed in their order of maturity. 
All of the varieties of raspberries listed below were introduced 
by the New York State Experiment Station and are recommended 
by them for the Northeast. Write the Dept. of Extension Teach- 
ing, N. Y. S. College of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y. for Extension 
Bulletin 719 on Raspberry Growing. 
Please read carefully shipping instructions concerning plants and nursery stock on our order blank before ordering. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
June 
The earliest red raspberry available. More- 
over 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 at- 
tractive red. Canes are thornless and bear 
fruit out in the open. Plants are of medium 
height, vigorous, productive and quite hardy.

September is an outstanding new berry. If you 
are in an area where Indian Summer does not do 
well, try September. Berries ripen 2 to 4 weeks 
earlier in the fall and do not crumble. 
September 
New Everbearing Red Raspberry 
Much superior to other “everbearing” rasp- 
berries, September is the newest and best au- 
tumn fruiting variety. Its fall crop ripens at 
least two and sometimes four weeks earlier 
than the fall crop of Indian Summer and thus 
far has shown no tendency to crumble. Its 
summer crop is as early as Indian Summer. 
Fruits are round, bright red, good sized, sweet 
and of fine flavor. Supply limited — order 
early. 
1 year selected plants. 10 for $3.95, prepaid. 
Indian Summer 
An autumn fruiting or so-called everbearing 
variety that ripens its summer crop a few days 
later than June and its fall crop about two to 
four weeks later than the new variety, Septem- 
ber. Indian Summer produces its fall crop a 
little too late for some sections. Fruit is large, 
round, medium red and of excellent quality. 
Marcy 
Fruits are the largest of all red raspberries 
—medium to rather dark red in color, firm, 
mild in flavor and of good quality. Plants are 
tall, vigorous, with sturdy, heavy canes that 
are very productive. 
Taylor 
One of the newer raspberries that has be- 
come popular both for home and market use. 
The heavy yield of bright red berries, their 
firmness and good quality, borne on sturdy 
upright plants that do not require support, 
are characters that distinguish this variety. 
Even though you may have some raspberries we 
suggest that you plant a few Milton plants this 
spring. It is a new high quality berry that is 
disease resistant. 
Milton 
Newest red raspberry introduced by the New 
York State Experiment Station. It is the best 
later maturing variety. Fruit is large, bright 
attractive red, firm and excellent in quality.

tive. It has remained free from mosaic in 
Experiment Station tests.
