Abstract

The Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station is releasing in August, 1953, a purple raspberry variety named Purple Autumn. Its parentage is Bristol x Indian Summer, a cross made by A. S. Colby in 1938, at Urbana, Illinois. It was selected in 1940 and has been tested as Illinois 38-417 on the University of Illinois horticultural farm and at other locations in the state, and is under test at experiment stations throughout the United States. As far as can be determined, this is the first purple "everbearing" raspberry ever to be named.
