In selecting raspberry varieties, we have followed the same policy as with 
strawberries: after trying most of the better known and most adaptable 
varieties we have selected the few which we have found to do best for 
both home garden and commercial grower, under most conditions. All 
our raspberry stock has been thoroughly fruit-, market-, and table-tested 
by us. As a result we have chosen and offer these varieties: 
SEPTEMBER RED RASPBERRY 
September still tops a 2 =——<“iarl Tm 
our list of red 
raspberries, losing 
nothing in com- 
Parison to one sea- 
son red raspberries 
and gaining the 
attractive virtue of 
producing a second 
crop each year in 
about mid-Septem- 
ber in this area, 
September out- 
yields in one sea- 
son, any of the other 
one season red 
raspberries we have 
tested. September 
is a better all 
around freezer, 
preserver and table 
berry than any one 
of the other reds; 
it is hardier and ' 
earlier, more disease resistant, free from crumbly fruit. To the home gar- 
dener, September offers all and more than can be expected from any red 
raspberry and to the commercial grower —two paying crops each year 
from one piece of land! In addition, September starts full fruit produc- 
tion a year after planting. Yes, if there is room for only one red rasp- 
berry — twenty-five feet of row along a fence on your property — plant 
at least a dozen September Red Raspberry plants this year for years of 
future enjoyment. If you have a half acre of well drained soil to turn to 
a commercial venture, plant September Raspberries. If you must make a 
choice between varieties of red raspberries, choose September. 
AMBER 
The new yellow raspberry introduced by the New York State Agricultural 
Experiment Station in 1951. Amber presents one of the most interesting 
taste and appearance experiences that we have had at The Berry Patch. 
Amber, as the name implies, is a rich amber color with a faint pink blush 
when fully ripe, very large and with more raspberry flavor than most of 
the better known red varieties. For a productive and delicious novelty in 
the home garden, a few plants of Amber will give you years of pleasure 
and good eating. Amber raspberry preserves are “out of this world” and 
the fruit frozen and used in combination with red raspberries for decora- 
tive effect, is almost complete justification alone for growing the fruit. 
MILTON 
Large, red mid-season raspberries, highly mosaic-resistant, bearing heavy 
crops in mid-July. Milton is in our opinion, one of the best of the newly 
introduced red raspberries and worthy of trial in home gardens. The fruit 
is round, richly flavored, and firm. The plants are vigorous and full, need- 
ing support during the fruiting season because of the large crop they set. 
NEWBURGH 
A good, late-fruiting red raspberry, bearing in mid to late July. Newburgh 
is highly resistant to mosaic, an excellent team mate for Milton to insure 
a long raspberry season in the home garden. Newburgh canes are long, 
prolific and will need support during the fruiting season.
