For HardyâFast GrowingâHeavy YieldingâPlant Bountiful Ridge Plants. 25 Small Berry Fruits Lead the Way To Economic Independence. Plan To Plant Our Triple Inspected Stock This Year. NEWBURG Newburg, a cross between Newman and Herbert, seems to be the most promising variety in the station â collection. The fruit is large, very firm, does not â¢crumble, and is superior to Latham in quality, but in- ferior to Cuthbert in that respect. The color is a bright, attractive red. In keeping and shipping quality it has no superior. The plants are vigorous, hardy, and very productive, in fact, 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. It is necessary to support them with wire along each side of the row. CHIEF FLAMING GIANT (Ohta) PROVING WITHOUT QUESTION THE LEADING EARLY RED RASPBERRY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY Ripening ten days before Latham, being equally as productive as the Latham and of better quality than the Latham, it should be in every small fruit grower's planting. By using the Chief for an early red rasp- berry, Newburg for a mid-season and Latham for a late berry you have a combination that is bound to give you real profits. The Chief originating in the North is extremely hardy, very vigorous and especially resist- ant to mosaic. Our plants are unusually fine for the Chief this year and our prices are the same as for the Latham. Plant liberally of them. A comparative new red rasp- berry becoming more and more popular because of its brilliant red color and good quality. It can well be classed among the hardiest red raspberries. The fruit is large, firm-fleshed and an excellent shipper. It will continue favorably with Latham in production. St. Regis Everbearing (Red Ranere) The outstanding everbearing variety. It gives a crop of fruit all summer and autumn, fruiting on the old canes in generous quantities until late in August. By this time berries begin to ripen on the young canes and continue until late in autumn. Berries are a bright crimson of large size and of surprising quality; sugary with raspberry flavor. Without an equal and the de- pendable everbearing Raspberry. The spring crop ripens before other varieties and in the South where it is grown extensively it yields a very heavy early crop and few berries in the fall. Noted for its disease resistance and ability to crop when planted in sandy soil. A fine market berry for all sections. INDIAN SUMMER RED INDIAN SUMMER EVERBEARING RED RASP. GIVES PROMISE OF BECOMING OUR GREAT- EST EVERBEARING RED RASPBERRY Introduced by the N. Y. Experimental station recent- ly the Indian Summer seems to be meeting with gen- eral favor where-ever planted. It is well adapted to home use and nearby commercial markets. The ber- ries are much larger than any other so called everbear- ing raspberry, roundish conic, slightly irregular, med- ium red, not too firm, crumble slightly and are ex- cellent quality. The summer crop ripens very earlv, before Chief, the autumn crop from September on to frost. The plants are hardy, vigorous, above medium height, and bear heavy crops. This and the St. Regis should have your consideration for production of Rasp- berries in late Fall when prices are very high as an added source of income. TAYLOR RED RASPBERRY Introduced by N. Y. Experimental station fall season of 1935. This beautiful berry should have the consid- eration of every commercial raspberry grower. The plants are vigorous, hardy, productive, tall grow-

The sturdy canes hold the berries well off the ground. The berries ripen shortly before Latham, are large, long conic, bright at- tractive red, thick fleshed, very firm, sub-acid and of excellent quality being superior to Latham. The ber- ries do not cling to the bush and carry well to mar- kets. The Taylor has many points of merit and we especially recommend it for planting in the northern and central sections as it should prove a valuable com- mercial variety. MARCY RED RASPBERRY Introduced by N. Y. Experimental station fall of 1936. Said to be the largest of all Red Raspberries. This variety seems to be adapting itself better to southern growing conditions than the Taylor, proving more disease resistant and is worthy of trial in all sections. The berries are very large, long conic in shape, firm, thick fleshed, medium red, mild in flavor and of ex- cellent quality. The plants are tall, vigorous, healthy, hardy and make many new plants. The sturdy canes usually do not need support, bear fruit out in the open which facilitates picking. The MARCY is worthy of planting for home use or commercial markets. Its im- mense size of berry, unusual vigor and productiveness should make this one of our great commercial berries of the future. All prices of Raspberry plants on page 24.
