ATEN TALOG “OF NEW Rr 
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. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
~\ 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 
become infected. This freedom from mosaic is an important reason why 
the seedling was named and introduced for more extensive testing by 
growers. 
‘\Newburgh—is proving to be a very satisfactory berry for market purposes. 
The fruit is very large, very firm, and does not crumble. The color is a 
bright, attractive red; in keeping and shipping quality it has no superior. 
The plants are vigorous, hardy and very productive, the weight of the fruit 
is so great that the canes are often bent to the ground. The fruit is borne 
out in the open where it may be readily picked. Under average conditions 
such as prevail in central and western New York, mosaic is rarely serious 
in Newburgh. In season it is three or four days earlier than Cuthbert. The 
canes should be cut back about one fourth to one third at the regular dor- 
mant pruning in early spring, since this variety tends to overbear if not cut 
back. This should improve the picking quality somewhat. 
~ September—a new autumn fruiting red raspberry. Was offered in 1947, for 
the first time. The fall crop begins ripening in early September or about 
a month earlier than Indian Summer and continues until frost. The sum- 
mer crop is as early as Indian Summer. The berries are of medium size, 
or about as large as Latham, bright red, firm, not crumbling, but showing 
a tendency to cling to the torus until fully ripe. The quality is fair in the 
summer and good in autumn. The plants are vigorous, healthy, hardy and 
productive at Geneva. This variety is introduced for trial for home use. 
\ Taylor—is offered for trial for both market and home garden. The plants are 
usually vigorous, hardy, productive, tall growing, and increase rapidly. 
Taylor is more subject to mosaic than Newburgh, and the necessary control 
measures for that disease should be followed. The sturdy canes hold the 
berries well off the ground. The berries ripen shortly before Milton and are 
subacid and of excellent quality. 
PURPLE RASPBERRIES 
~\ Marion—introduced in 1937, as a very large, late, purple raspberry to follow 
Sodus. The berries are very large, holding up well in size through the sea- 
son, moderately juicy, firm, tart, and good in quality. They tend to cling
