is used to some extent in New York and 

 oilier shites in raising red raspberries. 

 It has Ihe advantage of requiring less 

 hand work in keeping out grass and 

 weeds, as the cultivator can be run in 

 both directions; and the berries can be 

 more easily harvested from fields 

 under this system. 



If the hedge or linear system is used 

 the horse cultivator can be run in one 

 direction only and more hand hoeing 

 is necessary. Under these systems the 

 red varieties usually should be set from 

 2 to 3 feet apart in rows which are 6 

 to 8 feet distant. In the eastern United 

 States six feet is the most common and 

 desirable distance between the rows for 

 Ihe shorter caned varieties, such as the 

 Ruby and Marlboro, and seven and 

 eight feet for the tall-caned varieties, 

 like the Cuthbert. To use two horses 

 in a plantation the rows must be at 

 least eight feet apart. In the Pacific 

 Northwest, where the canes grow very 

 tall, the planting distance for red rasp- 

 berries is usually two and one-half by 

 seven or eight feet. In parts of Colo- 

 rado and other states where irrigation 

 and winter protection are necessary, 

 the plants are usually set in rows which 

 arc seven feet apart. 



Black raspberries are nearly always 

 grown under the linear system, and I'l 

 the United States east of the Rocky 

 Mountains they should be planted in 

 rows eight feet distant and three or 

 four feet apart in the row. In Oregon 

 and Washington they should be planted 

 in rows seven or eight feet distant and 

 from three to six feet apart in the row, 

 depending upon the vigor of the growth 

 in the particular locality. 



The purple varieties also are grown 

 imder the linear system and should be 

 planted four or five feet apart in rows 

 which are seven or eight feet distant. 

 The Columbian and other purple varie- 

 ties of equal vigor should be at least 

 five feet apart in the row, but the Royal 

 may be set four feet apart. 



If the plants are checked in both di- 

 rections when set in accordance with 

 either the hedge or linear system and 

 are three or four feet apart in the row, 

 it is possible to run a one-horse culti- 

 vator both ways for the first year. This 

 will save much work and reduce the 

 first year's expense. 



In some sections, two plants of red 

 raspberries are set together. This in- 

 sures the grower against misses, and a 

 larger crop is secured when the planta- 

 tion is one year old. It will cost much 

 more per acre to buy and set the extra 

 plants, but in some sections the addi- 

 tional yield will make it profitable. 

 However, if care is taken in setting, 

 one plant in each place is usually suf- 

 ficient. 



Setting the Plants. 



Before planting, the tops of the plants 

 of all types should be cut back to six 

 inches or less in height. To make it 

 easy to handle the plants and to indicate 

 the rows after setting, four to six inches 

 of the cane should be left. If a garden 

 patch is being planted, it is better to 

 cut the canes back to within a few 

 inches of the leader buds. The plants 

 should be set slightly deeper than they
