Plants are very hardy, productive, and vigorous growers. Ber- 
ries are large, bright red, firm, and good shippers, resembling 
Taylor in size and color. No stock until fall 1953. 
AMBER (Yellow Raspberry) 
A new creation from the Geneva Experiment Station, 
N. Y. It is the only yellow raspberry we have ever considered 
worth carrying in stock. Most yellow raspberries have been 
soft. The Amber is not. It is large, firm, yellow, with a pink 
tinge when ripe which makes it a most attractive box. It is 
the best novelty berry we have ever seen. Price six plants $2.50, 
15—$5.00, 25—$7.50, 50—$14.00, 100—$26.00. 
EVERBEARING RASPBERRIES 
INDIAN SUMMER (Everbearing) 
Two crops a year raspberry. Bears a big crop in June and 
another in the fall. Hardy, everbearing, disease resistant. Ber- 
ries are large, conical, good quality, medium red in color. 
Indian Summer is for home consumption rather than for com- 
mercial shipping. Spring season is very early and fall crop 
comes in Mid-Sept. and continues until hard frost in early Nov. 
Bulk of crop comes in Oct. 
DURHAM (Early) (Everbearing) 
A new creation in everbearing raspberries from the Uni- 
versity of New Hampshire. One of the greatest contributions 
to raspberry growing in many years. It is a seedling of Taylor, 
the blossom of which was pollinated by nectarberry. It has a 
most vigorous and fibrous root system, which makes for a 
wonderful crop of superfine red raspberries, which are large, 
firm and extra good flavor. 
It is two or three weeks earlier than Indian Summer Ever- 
bearing. If you live in a section where early fall frosts get most 
of your fall crop, it will pay you to try Durham. 
How to grow Durham Raspberries 
Durham can be used either as a two-crop-a-year raspberry 
(spring and fall), or as only a fall crop. We prefer to use it as a 
fall crop or a strictly off-season berry for the following rea- 
sons: 
Spring crop is not as good as the fall or off-season crop. 
We cut all canes back in November to within two or three 
inches of the ground each year. By so doing there are no canes 
to winter kill, and no trimming out of old canes each year, 
which eliminates much of the work in raspberry raising. Fun- 
gus diseases, such as Anthracnose and Spur Blight, do not have 
a chance to injure the plants before the crop is picked. In New 
England the crop starts to ripen about Mid-August and con-
