 Marshall in yielding; plant in rows 

 three feet eight inches: in hills sixteen 

 inches. I find hut little profit in grow- 

 ing strawberries, but must have them to 

 fill orders. 



Six acres of Cuthbert raspberries. 

 Plant in rows eight feet apart, hills four 

 feet apart; set posts every twenty feet, 

 nailing a cross piece, say a 2x4 four- 

 teen inches long, at the top of the post, 

 four feet from the ground, stringing 

 two No. 12 galvanized wires one inch 

 from the ends of each cross piece; one 

 wire of which is to he used for training 

 the bearing canes on, and the other to 

 hold in an ui)right position the new 

 growth. Weave the canes on the east 

 wire, which will enable the sun fo dry 

 the dew on the canes and allow you to 

 commence the picking earlier in the 

 morning. 



Follow with four acres of Snyder, 

 Texas, or Eldorado blackberry, pro- 

 vided you can get plants from new 

 fields not affectcfi with the blight, or 

 fungus diseases; plant, wire and handle 

 same as red raspberry. 



Two acres of Cumberland blackcap 

 raspberries. Plant and handle same as

ARE 



SUPERIOR 



Because they Get There 



(Like Friend Power Sprayers) 

 Look on the NOZZLE you 



use and see if you can find "ANGLE" 



the MAKER'S NAME and the 

 word "PATENTED." The "FRIEND" is the 

 ORIGINAL large Nozzle doing away with the cluster. 

 "FRIEND" Nozzles have no HOOKS, nothing to catch, 

 drip or clog. They make the finest MIST-LIKE Spray, 

 driving it farther into the trees than the cluster. 



■ANGLE" sprays up under the leaves and down into the CALYX. 

 The "STRAIGHT" is for ordinary work. Price $1 each, postpaid.

raspberries and blackberries. Blackca]5 

 raspberries are an expensive crop to 

 glow, but they are a delicious and at- 

 tractive berry, are good shii)i)crs, and 

 bring prices in excess of any other 

 berry. 



Two acres of dewberries. Plant in 

 rows eight feet, and in hills twelve feet 

 apart; posts twelve feet apart; stretch 

 two wires on cross pieces, nailed on 

 posts, same as blackberries, putting 

 cedar or other light wood slats 1x2 

 inches, fifteen inches long, fastening 

 one end to a wire with poidtry staples. 

 This will enable the slats to be adjust- 

 able when rentoving the old canes, and 

 putting up the new; slats should be 

 placed about two feel ajjart; two addi- 

 tional wires shotilil be i)laced on cross 

 pieces, nailed to posts some two feet 

 from the giounil, with Ihc usual slats; 

 lliis lower wire, lo allow (he new canes 



to be trained thereon, keeping them off 

 the ground, and free from injury of the 

 feet of the pickers. 



Then plant one acre each of Logan 

 and Phenomenal berries, seven or eight 

 feet apart in rows, six feet in hills, 

 posts twenty feet apart; nail one No. 12 

 galvanized wire on the side of the [losts 

 live feet from the ground, another four- 

 teen inches below, and loop the bearing 

 vines over the two wires, allowing the 

 new canes to grow on the ground; with 

 a little training they can be kept 

 bunched together under the wires, and 

 out of the way of the pickeis' feet. This 

 manner of trealing T.oganberries is new 

 Id Washington, and was first used in 

 ('alifornia. I shall adopt the plan in 

 my fields in futuie planting. 



We now have but one acre out of the 

 twenty left; this plant to sour or i)ie 

 cherries, Montmorency preferred. There
