384 RASPBERRIES. 



from row to row, and ten or twelve inches from plant to plant 

 in the row. At the end of one or two years they will be fit 

 to bud or graft with the different sorts of Pear, for quenouille 

 or espalier training ; or they may be allowed to grow up and 

 form standards for orchard planting. 



Those, however, which are intended for budding or graft- 

 ing, should be shortened to eighteen inches, as soon as quar- 

 tered out in the rows, which will keep them upright, firm, and 

 steady : but those intended for standards should be staked 

 .and tifed up as soon as planted, and at the end of three years 

 they ought to be fit to be planted out where they are intended 

 to remain. 



Cultivciion, 



The Quince is cultivated as an open standard. Its ma- 

 nagement is the same as that of the Plum. 



The Quince may very safely be planted out in the orchard, 

 without any fear of its degenerating either the Apple or thB 

 Pear, an erroneous idea entertained both by Miller and 

 Forsyth. 



CHAPTER XIV. 



CULTIVATION OF RAGrBERRIES. 



Propagation, 



The propagation of Raspberries is so well known to every 

 gardener to be by suckers, that nothing need be said under 

 this head ;* but the raising of a new plantation of stools is 

 not by every one accomplished in the shortest space of time, 

 and a collection is scarcely ever arranged so as to give all 

 the sorts of which it may consist an equal advantage. In 

 order to this, it is necessary that the respective heights 

 should be known, to which the different varieties attain. 

 This will enable the planter to arrange them to the greatest 

 advantage.
