Wiki Draft

Indian Summer is described here as an everbearing red raspberry, introduced by the New York Experiment Station and sold for northern planting by Daniels Nursery. Daniels describes it as a two crop sort that can also be grown as a one crop bearer, suggesting it was valued for flexibility as well as fruit quality. [S2]

Daniels is the only source in this packet that provides a real cultivar profile. It describes Indian Summer as a proven success both as an everbearer and as a standard bearer, with the fall crop borne on new canes, starting in September and continuing until frost. [S2]

The berries are described as large, conical, sweet, and relatively low in seeds. Daniels also credits it with fine shipping quality, suggesting firmer fruit than many home garden raspberries. [S2]

The plant is described as a husky grower, hardy, and resistant to common diseases. The same source says it bears from mid season into late fall, placing it among the longer season raspberries in the catalog. [S2]

The hardiness evidence in this packet is limited but direct. Daniels calls the plant hardy in a nursery guide aimed at northern growers in the Northwest, Minnesota, and Canada. [S2]

One source complication should be stated plainly. A South Dakota nursery availability circular also lists a plant named Indian Summer, but only as a stock list entry under sandcherry plum hybrids, with no description beyond the name and source number. That may be a different cultivar with the same name rather than this raspberry. [S1]
