four feet apart each way. The raspberry 

 plant is in perfection, when it is three years 

 old. When it is about six years old, it should 

 be dug up and a new plantation made, on a 

 piece of ground where the plant has not re- 

 cently grown before. It is an excellent mode 

 to make a small plantation every year, so as 

 to continue a supply of the fruit. In extreme 

 cold latitudes, it is necessary to bend the 

 plants down and cover them with earth or 

 straw through the winter. 



Varieties. White Antwerp, Red Antwerp, 

 FastolfF, and Franconia are the best for New 

 England ; the latter is the hardiest. 



Uses. The fruit has the same uses as the 

 currant. 



Plantations of the Raspberry for the supply 

 of the market, have been made almost as 

 profitable as those of the strawberry. This 

 fruit like the strawberry, is also wonderfully 

 susceptible of improvement by cultivation.
